The acute and chronic low-temperature stress responses in Porites lutea from a relatively high-latitude coral reef of the South China Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science
Relatively high-latitude coral reefs could be potential “refuges” for corals under climate change. One of the most important aspects limiting their availability as refuges is low-temperature stress.

Distinct Bacterial Communities Associated with Massive and Branching Scleractinian Corals and Potential Linkages to Coral Susceptibility to Thermal or Cold Stress

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
It is well known that different coral species have different tolerances to thermal or cold stress, which is presumed to be related to the density of Symbiodinium. However, the intrinsic factors between stress-tolerant characteristics and coral-associated

Symbolic or Substantive Action: Intent, Effort, and Results

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many firms have made ambitious climate pledges since the Paris Agreement of 2015. These pledges may be symbolic or substantive, but the literature is fragmented in defining these two terms. We propose a conceptual framework with three frames to delineate symbolic from substantive action: Intent—underlying motivations for engaging in climate ...

Comparison of UV based advanced oxidation processes (UV/Periodate, UV/ Peroxydisulfate, UV/NaClO, and UV/H2O2) for inactivating Escherichia coli in marine water

Desalination and Water Treatment
Escherichia coli (E. coli) contamination in marine aquaculture represents a major financial risk. This study investigated the efficacy of ultraviolet-based advanced oxidation processes (UV-AOPs) employing a 10 W ultraviolet lamp and 1 mM oxidant to ...

A Systemic Model for Understanding Business Interactions With Biodiversity and Ecosystems

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation represent critical threats to human well‐being and economic resilience, challenging businesses to understand and manage their interdependence with natural systems. This study develops a systemic framework—the BioModel—that elucidates the reciprocal relationship between businesses, biodiversity, and ...

Microbiome dynamics and functional profiles in deep-sea wood-fall micro-ecosystem: insights into drive pattern of community assembly, biogeochemical processes, and lignocellulose degradation

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Wood-fall micro-ecosystems contribute to biogeochemical processes in the oligotrophic deep ocean. However, the community assembly processes and biogeochemical functions of microbiomes in wood fall remain unclear.

Diazotroph Diversity Associated With Scleractinian Corals and Its Relationships With Environmental Variables in the South China Sea

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Coral reef ecosystems cannot operate normally without an effective nitrogen cycle. For oligotrophic coral reef areas, coral-associated diazotrophs are indispensable participants in the nitrogen cycle.

When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...

Effects of Natural Ingredient Xanthohumol on the Intestinal Microbiota, Metabolic Profiles and Disease Resistance to Streptococcus agalactiae in Tilapia Oreochromis niloticus

Microorganisms
Streptococcus agalactiae (SA) is a severe prevalent pathogen, resulting in high morbidity and mortality in the global tilapia industry. With increasing bacterial resistance to antibiotics, alternative strategies are urgently needed.
