Linking persistent open-vent activity and caldera-forming eruptions at Tofua volcano, TongaNARA Subscribed
Tofua volcano (Tonga) currently exhibits persistent, open-vent activity; however, this contrasts with previous explosive, caldera-forming eruptions. To understand the relationship between these dichotomous eruption styles, we present new field observations and satellite remote sensing data that reveal excess degassing of SO 2 and demonstrate significant magma accumulation over timescales of centuries. Current activity takes th...
Against a background of the climate and biodiversity crises, there is an urgent need for robust and citable biodiversity information for policy and management decisions. Species are fundamental units of biodiversity and underpin communication in biology. Delineating, describing, and naming species provide the foundation for tracking biodiversity. Taxonomists recognise over 2 million described species, the scientific names of w...
An Outbreak of Cryptocaryon irritans in Aquarium Quarantine—New Variations of an Old ThemeNARA Subscribed
An outbreak of Cryptocaryon irritans ( Ci ) occurred during the quarantine of marine teleost fish at a large aquarium facility, leading to 457 mortalities across 16 species. This study investigates the outbreak through a retrospective analysis of clinical and pathological findings, emphasising the role of detailed pathology in outbreak characterisation. Lesion diversity, host‐specific susceptibility and mortality rates were ex...
Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R packag...
A shift to greater aridification in dry regions of the world is ongoing and rapidly increasing in intensity, including in the biodiverse Sonoran Desert of the Southwest United States and northern Mexico. In addition to experiencing over two decades of drought, the Sonoran Desert is facing anomalous heat events that are increasing in frequency, evidenced in a record hot and dry period from 2020 to 2021. This article evaluates t...
Migration enables animals to access seasonally and spatially varying resources, resulting in greater abundance compared to analogous non‐migratory wildlife. Both Western science and Indigenous knowledge recognize the critical role of migration in sustaining wildlife; yet these movements are increasingly disrupted by human activity worldwide. Despite their importance, long‐term changes in migratory patterns for large mammals re...
The World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) started in 2007 with the question “how many species live in our oceans?”. Now, a little over 15 years later, WoRMS is able to answer several questions related to marine species discovery rates and provides a dynamic number of existing marine species, based on the information provided by hundreds of taxonomic experts worldwide, who have proven to be diverse and dynamic. We present ba...
Aim To use autofluorescence multispectral imaging (AFMI) to develop a non-invasive assay for the in-depth characterisation of human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hBM-MSCs). Methods hBM-MSCs were imaged by AFMI on gridded dishes, stained for endpoints of interest (STRO-1 positivity, alkaline phosphatase, beta galactosidase, DNA content) then relocated and results correlated. Intensity, texture and morphological...
