Incorporating plantain into grazed pasture swards is proposed as an approach to reduce nitrate leaching and nitrous oxide emissions. However, consideration must be given to potential emission-swapping, such as a reduction in soil carbon (C), which can contribute to increases in atmospheric CO 2 . We compared the net ecosystem C balance (NECB) of two adjacent newly-sown paddocks (~ 3 ha each) of (i) traditional ryegrass and whi...

Bottom‐tow gear fisheries (trawls and dredges) produce ~24 million mt of harvest annually, representing a globally important animal‐sourced food system. While many are currently sustainably managed, growing concern over the potential for ecosystem impacts from bottom‐tow gears has increased pressure to improve these fisheries. We assembled an international working group of > 30 contributors, including fishing industry particip...

Orthologs are fundamental for enabling comparative genomics analyses that further our understanding of eukaryotic biology. The unprecedented increase in the availability of high-quality eukaryotic genomes necessitates scalable and accurate methods for orthology inference. The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) developed “NCBI Orthologs”, a resource and a computational pipeline designed to meet this challenge...

The simultaneous occurrence of heatwaves and droughts is becoming more frequent and intense under climate change, particularly affecting vulnerable regions like Northeast Brazil (NEB). This study presents a comprehensive assessment of these compound extremes using long‐term in situ observations and ERA5 reanalysis. Heatwaves were defined by daily temperatures exceeding the 90th percentile, and droughts by the standardised prec...

Small Pelagic Fish (SPF) exhibit large fluctuations in abundance and distribution in response to environmental variability. To maintain the resilience of fishing communities and develop effective and equitable climate adaptation strategies, improved understanding of how the fishing industry responds to spatio-temporal shifts within and across SPF populations is of critical importance. In this paper, we examine the responses of...
