Coral Reefs in the Indonesian Seas Threatened by Heat and Cold Stress

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Heat accumulation and rising sea surface temperatures (SST) are currently major stressors for coral reefs worldwide. Coral reefs are also impacted by cool SST anomalies, although the dynamics of cold stress events are less well understood. Here, we estimate coral bleaching metrics in the Indonesian Seas using a high‐spatial‐temporal‐resolution

Hunter perceptions of a recreationally‐hunted invasive species during eradication from an island wildlife refuge

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
We quantified recreationists perceptions of wild pigs during an eradication program at Blackbeard Island, Georgia, U.S., by distributing a survey to participants of the 2024 archery hunt. Hunters overwhelmingly supported wild pig eradication (73.0%) and were concerned about wild pig impacts on native species (98.1%), yet only half believed eradication ...
