Three species, Sphaerellopsis filum , S. macroconidialis , and S. paraphysata , from Queensland and Victoria, Australia, were identified and characterised by multilocus sequence analyses. This study clarifies earlier reports of Sphaerellopsis in Australia and provides the first report of S. filum in Australia. We also confirm the presence of S. macroconidialis and S. paraphysata in Australia. A single-locus phylogeny based on...

Australian tidal wetlands differ in important respects to better studied northern hemisphere systems, an artefact stable to falling sea levels over millennia. A network of Surface Elevation Table-Marker Horizon (SET-MH) monitoring stations has been established across the continent to assess accretionary and elevation responses to sea-level rise. This network currently consists of 289 SET-MH installations across all mainland Au...

Rock bolts play a critical role in ground support in mining, tunneling and construction. Being able to obtain timely information on rock bolt load condition and deformation could help immensely in safeguarding workers’ safety, optimization of ground support system, and ensuring stability and longevity of underground structures. The objective of this work was to develop a practical ultrasonic rock bolt sensing technology for mo...

In January 2016, the Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital (The Neuro) declared itself an Open Science organization. This vision extends beyond efforts by individual scientists seeking to release individual datasets, software tools, or building platforms that provide for the free dissemination of such information. It involves multiple stakeholders and an infrastructure that considers governance, ethics, computational resour...

Summary Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widespread and harmful contaminants and are more persistent under anaerobic conditions. The bioremediation of PAHs in anaerobic zones has been enhanced by treating the contamination with nitrate, which is thermodynamically favourable, cost‐effective, and highly soluble. However, anaerobic PAHs biotransformation processes that employ nitrate as an electron acceptor have not be...

Aim There is little consensus as to whether stratification of arthropods between canopy and understorey in tropical and subtropical forests is commonplace and if the magnitude of stratification changes across different elevations and latitudes. We investigated broad‐scale patterns of vertical stratification of moths collected from extensive cross‐continental fieldwork in a variety of forest types, climates, elevations, latitud...
