Ecological, Functional, and Phylogenetic Determinants of Cyanobacterial Biomineralisation

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
Cyanobacteria contribute to the global carbon cycle by biomineralising CO2 into solid carbonates. Unlike photosynthesis, biomineralisation is a less‐understood, multifaceted and adaptive metabolic process with significant global impact. It involves cell wall structures, genetic factors, and metabolic pathways that enable mineral formation and help ...

Analysis into the selection of a ballast water treatment system

open access: yesTransport, 2015
Today, it is very important to select and install the optimal equipment for the treatment of ballast water in existing ships. Increasing cargo volumes demand for a greater number of ships for transportation and expanded navigation geography as well as ...

Economic Incentives for Controlling Trade-Related Biological Invasions in the Great Lakes [PDF]

open access: yes
Ballast water from commercial ships engaged in international trade has been implicated as the primary invasion pathway in over 60 percent of new introductions of invasive alien species (IAS) in the Great Lakes since 1960.

Unravelling echinoid mass mortalities: a global overview of mechanisms, spatio‐temporal trends, and taxonomic insights

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 221-236, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Mass mortality events (MMEs) have been occurring since the dawn of time. However, in contrast to terrestrial events, most marine MMEs remain undetected, largely due to the inaccessibility of many marine environments. One of the most notorious and best‐studied marine MMEs in modern times is that of the population collapse of the echinoid ...

Wind-induced drift of objects at sea: the leeway field method [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A method for conducting leeway field experiments to establish the drift properties of small objects (0.1-25 m) is described. The objective is to define a standardized and unambiguous procedure for condensing the drift properties down to a set of ...

Restoring Balance: The Intersection of Management and Fishing Sustainability in Indonesia

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 54-68, February 2026.
ABSTRACT As the world's second‐largest fish producer, Indonesia plays a crucial role in global fishing. However, overfishing, habitat degradation, population growth, and container port traffic threaten the sustainability of the fishing industry. We examined the impacts of fishing, population growth, and container port traffic on Indonesia's fishing ...

Geochemical analysis of Cenozoic fossil conifers at high latitudes: Implications for molecular preservation and environmental change [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Fossil materials record ancient life and their adapted environment. Arctic plant fossils are critical for our understanding of the Earth’s paleoenvironment when high latitudes were under ice-free conditions.

Technology on Snow and Ice: Innovation, Monitoring, and Performance for the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Medicine &Science in Sports, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Elite performance in Olympic winter sports depends on the interplay among the athlete, equipment, and the snow or ice. This naturally evolves with temperature, humidity, wind, preparation, and contact between the equipment and its surface. Together, these factors continuously rebalance the forces of gravity, aerodynamic drag, and friction ...
