Marine aquaculture, like the broader seafood industry, relies heavily on international trade and global supply chains for both production and sales. Recent global disruptions, including the COVID‐19 pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the conflicts in the Middle East, and trade tensions, have exposed the social and economic vulnerabilities inherent in a globalized production system. In response, these events have sparke...

Purpose of Review We review how ‘abrupt thaw’ has been used in published studies, compare these definitions to abrupt processes in other Earth science disciplines, and provide a definitive framework for how abrupt thaw should be used in the context of permafrost science. Recent Findings We address several aspects of permafrost systems necessary for abrupt thaw to occur and propose a framework for classifying permafrost process...

Vascular repair and regeneration are critical for tissue homeostasis. Endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs) are vessel-resident progenitors with vasoreparative capacity and they offer an important avenue for allogeneic cytotherapy to achieve perfusion of ischemic tissues. Endothelial Protein C Receptor (EPCR) has been proposed as a marker for vascular endothelial stem cells, but its precise role in ECFC biology remains unkn...

Reconstructing the evolutionary history of young lineages diverging with gene flow is challenging due to factors like incomplete lineage sorting, introgression, and selection causing gene tree discordance. The European crow hybrid zone between all‐black carrion crows and grey‐coated hooded crows exemplifies this challenge. Most of the genome in Western and Central European carrion crow populations is near‐identical to hooded c...

Echinoids are an integral part of present-day and ancient marine trophic webs, and they host a variety of mutualistic, commensalistic, and parasitic epibionts on their spines and test. Cidaroid echinoid (slate pencil urchins) spines in particular are commonly colonized by epizoans. Eucidaris in the western Atlantic and eastern Pacific today are notable for the frequency and intensity of calcifying, non-calcifying, and galling...

Irrigated cotton in Australia is mainly grown on heavy textured soils which are prone to waterlogging, resulting in significant losses of nitrogen (N) via denitrification and surface run-off. This study investigated fertiliser nitrogen use efficiency (fNUE) over three seasons on five commercial cotton farms using the 15 N tracer technique. Fertiliser NUE was consistently low across all fertilised treatments, with on average 47...

Process-based crop growth models have become indispensable tools for investigating the effects of genetic, management, and environmental factors on crop productivity. One source of uncertainty in crop model predictions is model parameterization, i.e. estimating the values of model input parameters, which is carried out very differently by crop modellers. One simple (SSM-iCrop) and one detailed (APSIM) maize ( Zea mays L.) mode...

Koi herpesvirus ( KHV ) causes KHV disease ( KHVD ). The virus is highly contagious in carp or koi and can induce a high mortality. Latency and, in some cases, a lack of signs presents a challenge for virus detection. Appropriate immunological detection methods for anti‐ KHV antibodies have not yet been fully validated for KHV . Therefore, it was developed and validated an enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA ) to detect...

Legacy effects of land cover/use on carbon fluxes require considering both present and past land cover/use change dynamics. To assess past land use dynamics, model‐based reconstructions of historic land cover/use are needed. Most historic reconstructions consider only the net area difference between two time steps (net changes) instead of accounting for all area gains and losses (gross changes). Studies about the impact of gro...
