Sodium sulfite can reliably induce chemical hypoxia without toxic effects in the model sea anemone species, Exaiptasia diaphana

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change is accelerating the deoxygenation of aquatic ecosystems, so understanding its effects on biological processes is increasingly critical. An emerging method for inducing hypoxia during experimentation utilizes sodium sulfite (SSI) to scavenge oxygen; however, it remains unclear if hypoxia‐inducing concentrations of SSI are toxic ...

Bacterial Diversity and Community Composition in the Pyloric Ceca of Acanthaster solaris in the Xisha Islands

open access: yesRedai dili
Crown-of-Thorns Starfish (CoTS) are natural enemies of corals. Periodic outbreaks of CoTS and substantial feeding on corals lead to the degradation of coral reefs among the Indo-Pacific Ocean. Symbiotic bacteria play an important role in the development,

Integrating and assessing metacommunity drivers of ecosystem function and resilience in benthic algal systems

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Understanding the scales and mechanisms by which species composition interacts with ecosystem functions is critical for forecasting the effects of environmental perturbations on ecosystem services. However, the linkages between what regulates the ecosystem functions of dispersal‐capable networks of communities (metacommunities) and what regulates a ...

Influence of Local Pressures on Maldivian Coral Reef Resilience Following Repeated Bleaching Events, and Recovery Perspectives

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Two severe heat waves triggered coral bleaching and mass mortality in the Maldives in 1998 and 2016. Analysis of live coral cover data from 1997 to 2019 in shallow (5 m depth) reefs of the Maldives showed that the 1998 heat wave caused more than 90% of ...

The Politics of Policy Robustness: A Central Paradox and Computational Review of Adaptive Policymaking

open access: yesPublic Administration and Development, Volume 46, Issue 3, Page 476-486, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Policy robustness, that is, the capacity of policies to sustain performance across diverse and uncertain futures, is increasingly considered a core objective of public policymaking. Although adaptive policymaking is widely promoted as an approach to achieving policy robustness, it suffers from a central paradox highlighted by theories of the ...

Microbiome dynamics and multiscale environmental response patterns of later-diverging coral clade across latitudes, reefs and geomorphological zones in the South China Sea

open access: yesEcological Informatics
The climatic adaptability and resilience of coral-associated microbiomes are pivotal under the global change. However, the environmental responses and acclimation patterns of microbiome within corals from the latest clades across multiple spatial scales ...

Hollow WO3/SnO2 Hetero-Nanofibers: Controlled Synthesis and High Efficiency of Acetone Vapor Detection

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemistry, 2019
Metal oxide hetero-nanostructures have widely been used as the core part of chemical gas sensors. To improve the dispersion state of each constituent and the poor stability that exists in heterogeneous gas sensing materials, a uniaxial electro-spinning ...

What is ‘relational thinking’, and how does it manifest in research?

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract People and Nature is a ‘journal of relational thinking’. This editorial explores what relational thinking can mean and how it might be operationalized in the context of humans and the environment. Relational thinking may seem intuitive because it recognizes the world's inherent interconnectedness. However, the question of how to operationalize

Marine Heatwaves and Cold Spells in Global Coral Reef Regions (1982–2070): Characteristics, Drivers, and Impacts

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Extreme sea surface temperature (SST) events, such as marine heatwaves (MHWs) and marine cold spells (MCSs), severely affect warm water coral reefs.

Plants back: Re‐envisioning botanical garden collections management for indigenous crops

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Botanical gardens and other ex situ collections play a key role in preventing plant extinctions, yet the needs of Indigenous crop cultivars are not being met by conventional botanical collections management practices. Inspired by Indigenous land care restoration movements centering plant–human–society relationships, we propose a path toward reciprocal ...
