A global mean sea-surface temperature dataset for the Last Interglacial (129-116 kyr) and contribution of the expansion to sea-level change.
Read more of: A global mean sea-surface temperature dataset for the Last Interglacial (129-116 kyr) and contribution of the expansion to sea-level change.A valuable analogue for assessing Earth’s sensitivity to warming is the Last Interglacial (LIG; 129–116 ka), when global temperatures (0 to +2 ∘C) and mean sea level (+6 to 11 m) were higher […]

Diet and life history reduce interspecific and intraspecific competition among three sympatric Arctic cephalopods.
Read more of: Diet and life history reduce interspecific and intraspecific competition among three sympatric Arctic cephalopods.Trophic niche and diet comparisons among closely sympatric marine species are important to understand complex food webs, particularly in regions most affected by climate change. Using stable isotope analyses, all […]

The implications of temporal variability in wave‐particle interactions in Earth’s Radiation Belts
Read more of: The implications of temporal variability in wave‐particle interactions in Earth’s Radiation BeltsChanges in electron flux in Earth’s outer radiation belt can be modeled using a diffusion‐based framework. Diffusion coefficients D for such models are often constructed from statistical averages of observed […]

The missing whales: Relevance of “struck and lost” rates for the impact assessment of historical whaling in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean
Read more of: The missing whales: Relevance of “struck and lost” rates for the impact assessment of historical whaling in the southwestern Atlantic OceanThe massive impact that open-boat historical whaling (18th to 20th centuries) had on whale populations has been traditionally estimated from records of oil and baleen plate production. However, an unknown […]

Geographical patterns in the flora of Cambridgeshire (v.c.29)
Read more of: Geographical patterns in the flora of Cambridgeshire (v.c.29)Cambridgeshire data collected for the BSBI’s Atlas 2020 project include 347,496 records at monad (1 km) or finer resolution. We used these data to cluster taxa by spherical k-means to […]

Statistical optimisation for enhancement of phenol biodegradation by the Antarctic soil bacterium Arthrobacter sp. strain AQ5-15 using response surface methodology.
Read more of: Statistical optimisation for enhancement of phenol biodegradation by the Antarctic soil bacterium Arthrobacter sp. strain AQ5-15 using response surface methodology.Aim: Effective bioremediation requires optimisation of conditions under which the process takes place. In this study, an Antarctic soil bacterium, Arthrobacter sp. strain AQ5-15, was evaluated for phenol biodegradation under […]

Extended pelagic life in a bathybenthic octopus
Read more of: Extended pelagic life in a bathybenthic octopusPlanktonic stages of benthic octopuses can reach relatively large sizes in some species, usually in oceanic, epipelagic waters while living as part of the macroplankton. These young octopuses appear to […]

Three new seabird species recorded at Tristan da Cunha archipelago.
Read more of: Three new seabird species recorded at Tristan da Cunha archipelago.The Tristan da Cunha archipelago comprises three main islands: Tristan, Inaccessible and Nightingale at 37ºS 12ºW, with Gough Island (40ºS 10ºW) the only other temperate oceanic island in the South […]

Statistical optimisation of phenol degradation and pathway identification through whole genome sequencing of the cold-adapted Antarctic bacterium, Rhodococcus sp. strain AQ5-07
Read more of: Statistical optimisation of phenol degradation and pathway identification through whole genome sequencing of the cold-adapted Antarctic bacterium, Rhodococcus sp. strain AQ5-07Study of the potential of Antarctic microorganisms for use in bioremediation is of increasing interest due to their adaptations to harsh environmental conditions and their metabolic potential in removing a […]

Southward migration of the Southern Hemisphere westerly winds corresponds with warming climate over centennial timescales
Read more of: Southward migration of the Southern Hemisphere westerly winds corresponds with warming climate over centennial timescalesRecent changes in the strength and location of the Southern Hemisphere westerly winds (SHW) have been linked to continental droughts and wildfires, changes in the Southern Ocean carbon sink, sea […]

A marine biodiversity observation network for genetic monitoring of hard-bottom communities (ARMS-MBON)
Read more of: A marine biodiversity observation network for genetic monitoring of hard-bottom communities (ARMS-MBON)Marine hard-bottom communities are undergoing severe change under the influence of multiple drivers, notably climate change, extraction of natural resources, pollution and eutrophication, habitat degradation, and invasive species. Monitoring marine […]
