Advancing conservation breeding programs for marine invertebrates
Abstract In the face of ecosystem change and biodiversity loss caused by climate change and other stressors, conservation breeding, or captive breeding, with the aim of reintroduction for wild population recovery, is an emerging tool for preventing species’ extinction and rehabilitating ecosystems.

ABSTRACT Many existing rubrics for L2 argumentative writing prioritize form‐based linguistic accuracy and complexity while insufficiently addressing substantive argumentative rigor and effectiveness. This limitation is further complicated by cross‐cultural variation in rhetorical conventions and educational practices, which challenge the direct ...

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Wildfires are disrupting and regenerating forces in nature that affect all ecosystem components. However, the impact of wildfires on soil multitrophic biodiversity and the resulting consequences for ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) remain poorly understood.

Jellyfish blooms restructure plankton dynamics and trophic linkages in coastal waters
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Jellyfish blooms are increasing globally in frequency and intensity, introducing complex ecological interactions, yet the mechanisms by which they alter ecosystem structure remain poorly characterized due to a lack of sustained field observations.

Genomic responses to increased temperature and pollinator selection in Brassica rapa L.
Summary Rapid environmental change reshapes both abiotic stress and biotic interactions, yet it remains unclear how these combined forces structure plants' genomic adaptation. In particular, the joint influence of temperature and pollinator identity, two ecological axes undergoing simultaneous global shifts, has rarely been quantified at genomic ...

Devouring the Invaders: The Racial‐Ecological Politics of the Chinese Crayfish Trade in Kenya
ABSTRACT This article examines entanglements of ecology, race, and foodways at Lake Naivasha in Kenya. Nonnative Louisiana red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), first introduced to Kenya in the 1960s, were once viewed as invasive but are now sought after as a delicacy among Kenya's Chinese community.

High nitrogen enrichment buffers plant photosynthesis against herbivory damage
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivorous insects and nitrogen deposition are key drivers of ecosystem productivity under global change. However, their combined effects on plant photosynthesis, particularly during insect outbreaks, remain poorly understood in natural ecosystems.

Summary Fine roots are critical for soil resource uptake, yet how declining plant diversity alters fine root biomass (RB) and traits remains unclear. We tested how plant functional trait dissimilarity in shade tolerance, drought tolerance, growth rate, and nitrogen‐fixation ability drives variation in root attributes.

水下生产系统正常运行或因事故关停时,由于海水的冷却作用,易产生水合物并发生沉积,从而堵塞油气通道,严重影响油气田安全高效生产,因此有必要对水下生产系统水合物防治技术展开专题研究。分析了水合物的形成机理,重点介绍了国外水合物防治的主要方法及应用情况,包括化学注入法、隔热保温法、电加热法以及隔热保温层与化学注入相结合法。简述了水下生产系统的“冷点”管理,指出“冷点”一般位于传感器、闸阀驱动器和接头等部位。最后建议国内加大化学注入剂、隔热保温材料等的自主研发力度,并开展水合物防治工艺研究。
