Rotifers play key roles in aquatic ecosystems, yet significant uncertainty remains about their diversity and evolution, and further evidence is needed to determine how reliably their responses to global change and human impacts can inform conservation. To identify major knowledge gaps hindering progress, we carried out a Delphi process both online and during the 17 th International Rotifer Symposium, involving more than 40 exp...
Global patterns and regional insights into kelp forest protection, restoration, and stewardshipNARA Subscribed
Kelp forests are among the most extensive and productive coastal ecosystems, yet they remain underrepresented in global conservation policy despite widespread declines driven by interacting global- (i.e., ocean warming, marine heatwaves) to local-scale stressors. At the same time, kelp conservation and restoration efforts are expanding rapidly across regions, but measures of success and syntheses tend to primarily focus on eco...
High-pressure granulitic metamorphism of pre-Variscan metasomatic mafic rocks (Cabo Ortegal, NW Iberia)NARA Subscribed
In the Cabo Ortegal Complex, NW Iberia, the subduction-related Variscan (ca. 390 Ma) high-pressure granulites of the Bacariza Formation (Cambrian protolith age, ca. 500 Ma) commonly show banding/regions defined by varying mineral abundance of amphibole and plagioclase-quartz that overprint high-pressure high-temperature (HP-HT) garnet and Na-rich diopsidic clinopyroxene, implying retrogression-related replacements triggered by...
Background As the number of BME clinical immersion experiences expands across university curricula, there is a growing opportunity for BME educators to share practical insights gained from implementing clinical immersion courses. Despite the growing scholarship exploring BME clinical immersions, a significant need for robust exploration remains as we work to understand the impact of such programs on student learning. Purpose T...
Urbanization, characterized by increased temperatures and habitat fragmentation, poses significant threats to reptile populations. Temperature threatens reptile populations, reducing the available hours of activity; however, the deleterious effects of temperature on sperm integrity have been scarcely investigated. This study investigates the impact of urbanization on the sperm fertility of the mesquite lizard ( Sceloporus gram...
Global Empirical Assessment of Marine Heatwaves’ Impacts on Fisheries Production and Economic ValueOA Marine
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) have become increasingly frequent and intense, raising concerns about their impacts on fisheries production and economic value. We present a global assessment of MHW-related impacts across 2088 marine fisheries from 1985 to 2022. Using high-resolution satellite data and standardized catch production and catch value, we identified significant reductions in catch and ex-vessel value during years of elevat...

Captive Male and Female West Indian Manatees Display Variable Vocal and Behavioral Responses to Playbacks of ConspecificsNARA Subscribed
Manatees exhibit diverse vocalizations in various behavioral contexts, but the exact role of these sounds, particularly in terms of sex‐based distinctions, remains elusive. This study sought to discern the behavioral and vocal responses of two subspecies of captive West Indian manatees ( Trichechus manatus ) to different call types (squeaks and squeals) to determine whether differences are related to the sex of the signaler. I...
Global warming is threatening ectotherms, with strong repercussions on their population dynamics. Body temperature in ectotherm reptiles is crucial to perform all their biological functions, which are maximized within a narrow interval. When faced with new or adverse thermal conditions, reptiles will respond with distributional changes, behavioural adjustments to maintain their internal temperature, or by adapting to the new e...
Aim To date a vicariant event through the mutualistic relationship of a hylid frog and its bromeliad host found across two isolated mountain ranges as part of an island–continental split and to use this information to calibrate a molecular dating analysis of hylids. Location South America. Time Period Pliocene. Major Taxa Studied Treefrogs, Arboranae. Methods Pliocene tectonic movements sank a portion of a mountain range that...
Holopelagic Sargassum spp. (sargassum) are the founding species of diverse communities in the Sargasso Sea. Since 2011, a new area of concentration of these algae was formed in the equatorial North Atlantic and Caribbean Sea. We analyzed elemental composition, and the small mobile fauna associated with sargassum collected at 41 stations, during two expeditions in the Caribbean Sea in 2018 and 2019, that covered open-sea statio...
A global analysis of field body temperatures of active squamates in relation to climate and behaviourNARA Subscribed
Aim Squamate fitness is affected by body temperature, which in turn is influenced by environmental temperatures and, in many species, by exposure to solar radiation. The biophysical drivers of body temperature have been widely studied, but we lack an integrative synthesis of actual body temperatures experienced in the field, and their relationships to environmental temperatures, across phylogeny, behaviour and climate. Locatio...
