Multistressor Interaction of Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS) and Temperature in Two Estuarine Fish Species, Red Drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) and Sheepshead Minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus)

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), a perfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS), is characterized by a long, fluorinated carbon chain which makes it ideal for oil‐ and water‐repellent products but detrimental for the environment, where it persists and accumulates in organisms.

EE2 and the Fish Brain: Age‐Dependent Impact of 17α‐Ethinylestradiol on Brain Cell Proliferation and Behavior in Sea Bass Larvae

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs), such as 17α‐ethinylestradiol (EE2), have raised concerns about their potential effects on aquatic organisms, particularly during early developmental stages. In this context, the study of behavioral disruption has gained considerable attention, as it may have consequences on individual fitness and ...

Trends in thunderstorm days, lightning activity, squalls and the environmental factors in Hong Kong

Weather, EarlyView.
This study analyses trends in Hong Kong's convective weather using long‐term observer‐based and shorter‐term instrument‐based data. Annual thunderstorm days increased significantly by 1.9 days decade−1 in 1947–2024, notably in June–September, consistent with increasingly favourable warm‐season environments for thunderstorms.

Using a live‐streaming webcam to assess the behavioural responses of waterbirds to changes in the density of swans Cygnus spp.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife research has benefitted from the development of new methods that allow data to be collected remotely, with less disturbance to focal animals. The proliferation of livestreaming webcams, for example, those used by nature reserves for public engagement purposes, have offered new possibilities for the study of wildlife behaviour.
