Partners or passengers? Revisiting the association between diatoms and aquatic animals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Numerous studies have revealed the importance of research on the communities capable of colonizing animal surfaces (epibionts) and the animals on which they live (basibionts). Very few studies have considered epizoic diatoms, and there are gaps and biases in our knowledge, including the choice of basibionts, the methods used, and the habitats ...

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Mercury biomagnification in an Antarctic food web of the Antarctic Peninsula
Environmental Pollution, 2022 Under the climate change context, warming Southern Ocean waters may allow mercury (Hg) to become more bioavailable to the Antarctic marine food web (i.e., ice-stored Hg release and higher methylation rates by microorganisms), whose biomagnification processes are poorly documented.

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Chief executive officers (CEOs) play a pivotal role in shaping public discourse on climate change through social media, yet how their language use affects the effectiveness of climate‐related posts remains unclear. Drawing on schema‐congruity theory and leader role expectations, we conceptualize certainty in language as congruent and anxiety ...

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Engineering graduate students confuse the scientific method and problem solving when presenting their pre‐doctoral exams and theses: Science discourse adopts question and hypotheses to assert and establish a study's rationale, while it is problem and objectives in engineering design.

New Antarctic stenothoids sensu lato (Amphipoda, Crustacea) [PDF]
, 2011 Three stenothoid species are reported from recent Antarctic collections. Two of these are new to science (Prometopa cedrici sp. nov. and Antatelson claudei sp. nov.). A few character states of Antatelson walkeri are discussed.

Disentangling the interactive effects of anthropogenic disturbances on biodiversity
Ecography, EarlyView.Anthropogenic activity threatens biodiversity through climate change, habitat fragmentation, and increasing frequency and scale of disturbance. Various theoretical studies have sought to shed light on how these factors could promote or hinder the coexistence of species. However, our understanding of the relative importance of, and interactions between,

On the origin of Antarctic marine benthic community structure [PDF]
, 2005 Environmental conditions fostering marine communities around Antarctica differ fundamentally from those in the rest of the world's oceans, particularly in terms of pronounced climatic fluctuations and extreme cold.

Potential of Seaweed to Improve the Quality and Shelf Life of Fish and Fishery Products
Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.Growing global demand for safe fish preservation has increased interest in natural alternatives. Seaweed‐derived bioactive compounds possess antioxidant and antimicrobial properties that enhance fish quality, safety, and shelf life. These sustainable preservatives may reduce spoilage and synthetic preservative use, though further research ...
