Skimming genomes for systematics and DNA barcodes of corals

Ecology and Evolution
Numerous genomic methods developed over the past two decades have enabled the discovery and extraction of orthologous loci to help resolve phylogenetic relationships across various taxa and scales. Genome skimming (or low‐coverage genome sequencing) is a

Pesticide Supply Chains From China to Australia: Examining Paraquat Amid the Global Pesticide Complex

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following recent calls to deepen understanding of the Global Pesticide Complex, this article delves into the China‐to‐Australia supply chain of a single herbicide—paraquat. First released in the United Kingdom in the 1960s, acutely toxic paraquat is now primarily produced in China.

Complete organellar genomes of Cystophora brownii: Insights into mitochondrial and plastid structure and evolution in brown algae

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cystophora (order Fucales) is one of the most diverse genera of habitat‐forming brown algae and is endemic to temperate reefs of Australia and New Zealand. Species in this genus form complex habitat structures that support diverse marine communities and contribute to coastal productivity. However, Cystophora spp.

The Greenland–Scotland Ridge in a Changing Ocean: Time to Act?

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Greenland–Scotland Ridge is a submarine mountain that rises up to 500 m below the sea surface and extends from the east coast of Greenland to the continental shelf of Iceland and across the Faroe Islands to Scotland. The ridge not only separates deeper ocean basins on either side, that is, the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans, but also ...

Radical dystopia: The comic modernism of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty‐Four

Orbis Litterarum, EarlyView.
Abstract The present essay turns the received view of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty‐Four on its head, arguing that Orwell's dystopian classic mobilizes the modernist techniques of T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land to lampoon the ideological fatalism of Eliot and other cultural conservatives.

Stress-Resistant Symbiodiniaceae and Diverse Bacterial Communities Promote Coral Persistence in Variable, Multi-Stressor Environments. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Corals living in multi‐stressor bays in Curaçao maintain stress‐tolerant symbiotic algae and specialized bacterial communities in comparison to those in nearby reefs. These findings provide insight into how Caribbean coral holobionts persist in extreme and marginal conditions and may respond under future environmental conditions.

Highly Polygenic Control of Photosynthetic Responses to Nighttime Temperature Studied by Genomic Prediction

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rising nighttime temperature (Tnight) can reduce crop yields while low Tnight may restrict plant growth and development. Despite quantifiable effects of Tnight, genetic basis underlying plant responses to Tnight remains unclear. We investigated natural variation in long‐term response of effective photosynthetic efficiency (Fq’/Fm’) to Tnight ...

Even a slight temperature increase triggers the inhibition of Symbiodiniaceae cell division and promotes cell expulsion in the coral Acropora selago

Phycological Research, EarlyView.
SUMMARY Coral bleaching, characterized by the loss of Symbiodiniaceae symbionts from corals, is promoted both by acute high‐temperature events and by prolonged moderate thermal stress. However, the mechanisms responsible for decreases in Symbiodiniaceae cell densities within corals remain unclear. Symbiodiniaceae cells within corals proliferate through

Morpho‐anatomical and genetic variation of Lithophyllum neo‐okamurae and L. okamurae (Corallinales, Corallinophycidae, Rhodophyta) from Jeju Island, Korea

Phycological Research, EarlyView.
SUMMARY Lithophyllum Philippi (Corallinales, Corallinophycidae, Rhodophyta) is a diverse genus of non‐geniculate coralline algae. Lithophyllum neo‐okamurae and L. okamurae are commonly found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of Jeju Island, Korea, where they contribute to local benthic communities.

Black mangrove growth and root architecture in recycled glass sand: testing a new substrate for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
As coastal regions experience accelerating land loss, artificial substrates may be useful in restoration efforts to replenish sediment and facilitate plant colonization. Recycled glass sand is a potential artificial substrate for marsh building due to its sustainability, availability, and similarity to natural substrates.
