Novel infrastructure for coral gardening and reefscaping

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Since 1950, coral abundance has declined worldwide by an estimated 60%, and further dramatic declines are predicted. Although global reductions in carbon emissions are essential to prevent further loss, coral reef restoration has become imperative to ...

Bioenergetic Materials for Tissue Regeneration: Modulating Metabolism to Promote Cellular Anabolism

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bioenergetic materials (BEMs) modulate cellular metabolism to promote tissue regeneration. Their principal mechanisms of action include metabolic substrate supplementation, metabolic enzyme modulation, organelle transfer, electrical current regulation, redox homeostasis modulation, and oxygen tension modulation.

Pt‐Regulated Dynamic Cu(0) Regeneration in CuPt Alloy Enables High‐Efficiency Self‐Driven Formaldehyde Fuel Cells for Potassium Formate Production

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this work, a Cu30PtX/CF anode material was synthesized to effectively catalyze the electrocatalytic formaldehyde oxidation, and thereby assembled a fuel cell that offered a high open‐circuit potential of 0.94 V and a power density of 34.3 mW cm−2. This work realizes the co‐generation of electrical energy and high‐value‐added chemicals with nearly ...

Species-specific retention vs. recovery of coral thermal tolerance following nursery propagation

Communications Biology
Thermal screening of coral source material is likely crucial to enhancing long-term restoration success under ocean warming. It is unclear, however, whether reef-based donor colonies retain their thermal tolerance in a nursery environment.

Fine Scale Temporal and Spatial Dynamics of the Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Outbreak Within the Lower Florida Keys

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
One of the latest threats to Florida’s Coral Reef is the stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) outbreak which affects all but a few Caribbean scleractinian species and has spread throughout the Caribbean since 2014. Without a known pathogen, ecological

Coral reef restoration efforts in Latin American countries and territories.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Coral reefs worldwide are degrading due to climate change, overfishing, pollution, coastal development, coral bleaching, and diseases. In areas where the natural recovery of an ecosystem is negligible or protection through management interventions ...

Quantifying the Dynamics of Network Detachment Across Scientific, Technological, Commercial, and Pharmacological Domains

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Across scientific, technological, commercial, and pharmacological domains, individuals and organizations disengage from a previously adopted practice not at random, but as their network neighbors detach. The probability of detachment rises with the number of neighbors who have already disengaged. Preferential detachment reshapes network disintegration,

Land birds on atolls: diversity, origin, and function

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oceanic islands are global hotspots of avian biodiversity and endemism. Their isolation and distinct environmental conditions have uniquely shaped the evolutionary trajectories of island birds, while, in turn, land bird communities have become critical providers of ecological functions to island ecosystems.

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 ...
