Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...
Description of the behavioural contexts of underwater sound production in juvenile green turtles Chelonia mydasNARA Subscribed
Green sea turtles Chelonia mydas have the ability to hear and produce sounds under water, with some of them potentially involved in social communication. To investigate the potential biological function of these sounds, we used a combination of acoustic, video and multi-sensor recordings of 23 free-ranging juvenile green turtles and we examined the co-occurrences of sounds with behaviours or external events. Our study revealed...
Causes of slowing‐down seasonal CO 2 amplitude at Mauna LoaNARA Subscribed
Changing amplitude of the seasonal cycle of atmospheric CO 2 (SCA) in the northern hemisphere is an emerging carbon cycle property. Mauna Loa (MLO) station (20°N, 156°W), which has the longest continuous northern hemisphere CO 2 record, shows an increasing SCA before the 1980s ( p 2 fertilization. This challenges the view that CO 2 fertilization is the dominant cause of emergent SCA trends at northern sites south of 40°N. The...
State of the science in reconciling top‐down and bottom‐up approaches for terrestrial CO 2 budgetNARA Subscribed
Robust estimates of CO 2 budget, CO 2 exchanged between the atmosphere and terrestrial biosphere, are necessary to better understand the role of the terrestrial biosphere in mitigating anthropogenic CO 2 emissions. Over the past decade, this field of research has advanced through understanding of the differences and similarities of two fundamentally different approaches: “top‐down” atmospheric inversions and “bottom‐up” biosph...
No consensus has yet been reached on the major factors driving the observed increase in the seasonal amplitude of atmospheric CO 2 in the northern latitudes. In this study, we used atmospheric CO 2 records from 26 northern hemisphere stations with a temporal coverage longer than 15 years, and an atmospheric transport model prescribed with net biome productivity ( NBP ) from an ensemble of nine terrestrial ecosystem models, to...
