Assessing the potential, effectiveness and implementation challenges of beach and tourism ecolabels for beach macrolitter reduction

Discover Sustainability
There is an urgent need to address the contribution of mass tourism to coastal litter generation, however, identifying effective, context-specific measures to reduce listed litter remains challenging.

A Pentaradial and Bilateral Combined Photoreception System in the Sea Cucumber is Mediated by a Blue Light‐Sensitive R‐Opsin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota detects blue and adjacent wavelengths of light via an r‐opsin with a maximum absorption at 459 nm. In the oral tentacles, papillae, and tube feet, distinct light‐sensing structures with specialized morphologies are formed, constituting a unique pentaradial and bilateral combined photoreception system.

Assessing the health of the U.S. west coast with a regional-scale application of the Ocean Health Index.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Management of marine ecosystems increasingly demands comprehensive and quantitative assessments of ocean health, but lacks a tool to do so. We applied the recently developed Ocean Health Index to assess ocean health in the relatively data-rich US west ...

T2T Genome Assembly and Multi‐Omics Data Reveal Terrestrial Adaptation and Mucus Biosynthesis in Tropical Leatherleaf Slug (Laevicaulis alte)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A gap‐free genome assembly and multi‐omics comparison of the terrestrial slug Laevichaulis alte with an aquatic relative reveal that expansion of the VEGF family orchestrates mucus production, lipid metabolism, and immune defense—highlighting key molecular innovations for conquering life on land.

Dengue Outbreak in Mombasa City, Kenya, 2013-2014: Entomologic Investigations.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016
Dengue outbreaks were first reported in East Africa in the late 1970s to early 1980s including the 1982 outbreak on the Kenyan coast. In 2011, dengue outbreaks occurred in Mandera in northern Kenya and subsequently in Mombasa city along the Kenyan coast ...

Aircraft and ground measurements of dust aerosols over the west African coast in summer 2015 during ICE-D and AER-D [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2018
During the summertime, dust from the Sahara can be efficiently transported westwards within the Saharan air layer (SAL). This can lead to high aerosol loadings being observed above a relatively clean marine boundary layer (MBL) in the tropical ...
