Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective

Oikos, EarlyView.
The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

The modulation of leaf metabolism plays a role in salt tolerance of Cymodocea nodosa exposed to hypersaline stress in mesocosms

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
By the proteomic approach we tested the physiological responses of the euryhaline seagrass Cymodocea nodosa to deliberate manipulation of salinity in a mesocosm system.

Climate‐Driven Mangrove Dieback and Recovery: A Case Study in Albert and Leichhardt Rivers, Australia

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Cycles of dieback and recovery drove mangrove forest dynamics at the Albert and Leichhardt Rivers (Gulf of Carpentaria, Queensland, Australia) over 36 years (1987–2023). Landward margins were the most affected by reduced tidal inundation when the alignment of low lunar declination suppressed tidal range and extreme El Niño phases lowered mean sea level.

Groundwater Connectivity and Buffering in Western Australian Hypersaline Lakes: Implications for Late‐Stage Martian Lacustrine Systems

Earth and Space Science
Thousands of saline to hypersaline lakes exist across the Yilgarn Craton in Western Australia, representing potential Mars analogs with diverse and varying salinity, pH, and oxygen conditions that remain poorly constrained.

Crystal‐Facet‐Engineered BiOBr(1 1 0)/MXene Sponge–Hydrogel Evaporators for Synergistic Solar Desalination and Non‐Mineralizing Volatile Organic Compound Conversion

SusMat, EarlyView.
A crystal‐facet‐engineered BiOBr(1 1 0)/MXene composite is integrated into a sponge‐hydrogel evaporator to enable synergistic solar desalination and selective, non‐mineralizing conversion of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The dual‐phase structure achieves a high evaporation rate of 2.42 kg m−2 h−1 under one‐sun illumination, sustained salt ...

Halophilic Aspergillus penicillioides from athalassohaline, thalassohaline and polyhaline environments

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Aspergillus penicillioides is a true halophile, present in diverse econiches – from the hypersaline athalassohaline and thalassohaline environments, to polyhaline systems, and in different geographical locations.

MetFish: a Metabolomics Pipeline for Studying Microbial Communities in Chemically Extreme Environments

mSystems, 2021
The identification and accurate quantification of metabolites using electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) in hypersaline samples is a challenge due to matrix effects.

Environmental Contaminant Accumulation in Freshwater Turtles Inhabiting Three Rivers of the Permian Basin, New Mexico, USA

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Freshwater turtles are valuable sentinels of aquatic systems due to their long lifespans and resilience in environments impacted by contaminants. The Permian Basin, dominated by the oil and gas sector, spans western Texas and southeastern New Mexico, USA, including the Pecos River and its tributaries, the Delaware and Black Rivers.

Extraction of high molecular weight DNA from microbial mats

BioTechniques, 2010
Due to the presence of inhibitors such as extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) and salts, most microbial mat studies have relied on harsh methods of direct DNA extraction that result in DNA fragments too small for large-insert vector cloning.
