Atmospheric Trace Metal Deposition near the Great Barrier Reef, Australia

Atmosphere, 2020
Aerosols deposited into the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) contain iron (Fe) and other trace metals, which may act as micronutrients or as toxins to this sensitive marine ecosystem. In this paper, we quantified the atmospheric deposition of Fe and investigated

Solenostomus snuffleupagus sp. nov., a hairy ghost pipefish (Teleostei: Solenostomidae) from the Southwest Pacific, with an integrative comparison to S. paegnius

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract A new species of ghost pipefish, Solenostomus snuffleupagus sp. nov., is described from the Coral Sea based on specimens (18–34 mm SL) collected from coral reef habitats in Queensland, Australia. The species is diagnosed by the following combination of characters: abundant elongate integumentary filaments imparting a conspicuously shaggy ...

Taxonomic inflation in fish systematics: A critical review with illustrative evidence assessment and integrative case study of the Salmo trutta Complex

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fish species are being described at an accelerating rate, but a substantial fraction of recent descriptions rests on evidentiary standards too weak to distinguish genuine species‐level discontinuities from intraspecific variation, local adaptation and the artefacts of single‐marker analyses, a pattern of taxonomic inflation with documented ...

A method for risk analysis across governance systems: a Great Barrier Reef case study

Environmental Research Letters, 2013
Healthy governance systems are key to delivering sound environmental management outcomes from global to local scales. There are, however, surprisingly few risk assessment methods that can pinpoint those domains and sub-domains within governance systems ...

Fish Poxviruses on the Rise: Prospects for Aquatic Health

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fish poxviruses are increasingly recognised as emerging pathogens of fish and should be considered in cases of unexplained gill or skin pathology. Carp edema virus (CEV), the causative agent of koi sleepy disease in common carp and koi (Cyprinus carpio), represents the first known example.

Melanoma and Other Melanistic Lesions in Brown Bullhead Ameiurus nebulosus From Waterbodies in the Northeastern United States and Canada: Identification of Risk Factors

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Melanistic lesions, including non‐raised black areas due to proliferations of melanocytes and melanomacrophages in the dermis and epidermis, as well as raised black areas consistent with melanoma, are described in brown bullhead (BBH) Ameiurus nebulosus from three water bodies in the northeastern United States and Quebec, Canada.

Pesticide Supply Chains From China to Australia: Examining Paraquat Amid the Global Pesticide Complex

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following recent calls to deepen understanding of the Global Pesticide Complex, this article delves into the China‐to‐Australia supply chain of a single herbicide—paraquat. First released in the United Kingdom in the 1960s, acutely toxic paraquat is now primarily produced in China.

Enlightened False Consciousness: Why Climate Consciousness Is Not Followed by Action

Sociology Lens, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The article discusses enlightened false consciousness by focusing on the denial of the climate crisis. It approaches this idea by first emphasizing the role of emotions in connection with actions, arguing that a classical rationalist perspective falls short of grasping this. The article is divided into four parts.

Carbon Populism and Representative Politics: On Why Fossil Fuel Firms Speaking for ‘The People’ Is a Bad Idea

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite growing recognition that countries around the world must transition to a low‐carbon economy, global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise. One way that decarbonization has been obstructed, we argue, is by fossil fuel firms intentionally conflating their agenda with ‘the people’, evoking notions of national identity, security and ...
