Adaptability of clams to prolonged heatwaves: Influences on gene expression, antioxidant capacity, and histology of Chinese cyclina Cyclina sinensis

Aquaculture Reports
An increase in the duration of marine heat waves (MHWs) has a serious negative impact on the survival of marine organisms. However, the impact of MHWs on Cyclina sinensis remains largely unknown. Here, this study assessed the effects of acute (25°C or 35°

Factors Affecting the Recovery of Invertebrate Stocks From the 2011 Western Australian Extreme Marine Heatwave

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
The extreme Western Australia 2011 marine heatwave had a lasting effect on the marine ecosystem and after 7 years, only parts of the ecosystem have showed good signs of recovery. After the heatwave, scallop fisheries in the Abrolhos Is.

Modulating influence of drought on the synergy between heatwaves and dead fine fuel moisture content of bushfire fuels in the Southeast Australian region

Weather and Climate Extremes, 2021
During the 2019-20 summer season, Australia experienced frequent heatwave events with scorching temperatures and massive bushfires with dense smoke. These catastrophic heatwaves and bushfires resulted in huge socio-economic and ecological losses.

Heatwave-protective knowledge and behaviour among urban populations: a multi-country study in Tunisia, Georgia and Israel

BMC Public Health, 2021
Background There is an expected increase in heatwaves globally. As such, it is imperative to have sufficient levels of heatwave-protective knowledge and behaviour in areas regularly affected by heatwaves.

Heatwave magnitude quantization and impact factors analysis over the Tibetan Plateau

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science
More frequent and intense heatwave events (HWEs) on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) present substantial threats to the ecological and hydrological systems. However, understanding the changes in HWEs on the TP is limited, primarily from analyses at individual ...

Mortality Burden of Heatwaves in Sydney, Australia Is Exacerbated by the Urban Heat Island and Climate Change: Can Tree Cover Help Mitigate the Health Impacts?

Atmosphere, 2022
Heatwaves are associated with increased mortality and are exacerbated by the urban heat island (UHI) effect. Thus, to inform climate change mitigation and adaptation, we quantified the mortality burden of historical heatwave days in Sydney, Australia ...
