Safeguarding groundwater, a vital resource in adaptation to global change, yet increasingly under pressure, requires robust knowledge and capacity. While strong foundations in hydrogeology remain indispensable, there is a clear need for joint, interdisciplinary and applied groundwater education at the postgraduate level to address the complex and multifaceted nature of groundwater science. Building on these arguments, the Join...

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...

Purpose Systematic collection and analysis of antimicrobial resistance data from key bacterial pathogens is essential to contribute to control antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The aim of this work was to survey the drug resistance on clinically relevant organisms stratified according to age, gender, clinical specimens and facilities. Methods Microbiological data were collected from 55 centers across 24 states in Mexico between...

Our primary objective was to compile a comprehensive dataset on bird–window collisions throughout the Neotropical region, including both published and unpublished sources. On May 12, 2020, we extensively disseminated invitations to provide data via email and social media platforms. By providing a template worksheet, we required standardized information from collaborators to complete and register their data. To better understan...

Introduction Hypoxia has a teratogenic effect on the fish during embryonic development. Nevertheless, the effects on the larval stage are not yet known. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the effects of hypoxia on the number of neurons and their apoptotic rate in the spinal cord of Salmo salar alevins after hatching. Methods We used a total of 400 alevins, establishing both hypoxia and control (normoxia) groups (n...

Understanding the primary controls on mineral deposit formation and size is essential for sourcing the metals required by our ever-growing economy. The tonnage of porphyry copper deposits ranges five orders of magnitude but the key mechanisms and processes that modulate the size of these deposits remain enigmatic. Here, we investigate the behemothian deposits of the Chuquicamata Intrusive Complex (CIC) in northern Chile employ...
