Evaluating land–sea linkages using land cover change and coral reef monitoring data: A case study from northeastern Puerto Rico

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Land cover change that leads to increased nutrient and sediment runoff is an important driver of change in coral reef ecosystems. In this study, we combined satellite remote sensing and field monitoring to assess concomitant changes in watershed land cover and coral cover in northeastern Puerto Rico in 2000–2015.

Multifunctional Superwetting Sea‐Urchin‐Mimetic Nanosheet‐Based Interface for Remote Oil‐Water Separation

Small, EarlyView.
A fluorine‐free, FBC–rGO coating‐based robust superhydrophobic/superoleophilic sorbent (WCA >154°), enabling rapid, selective oil uptake and efficient oil/water separation. Integrated into a dolphin‐inspired Wi‐Fi mini‐bot with onboard pumping and storage, the platform enables remote, contactless, on‐site oil recovery from hazardous spill zones ...

Nanomedicine Meets Immunotherapy: Transforming Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Treatment for Solid Tumors

Small Science, EarlyView.
This review highlights recent advances in nanomedicine that enhance chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy against solid tumors. It discusses key barriers to CAR T cell efficacy and outlines nanotechnology‐based strategies to improve tumor targeting, remodel the immunosuppressive microenvironment, and integrate nanomaterials into CAR T cell ...

Phylogeny and historical biogeography of the Pachira sensu lato clade (Bombacoideae, Malvaceae) with a new infrageneric classification

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract We explore phylogenetic relationships within the Pachira sensu lato clade (Bombacoideae, Malvaceae), test the monophyly of the genera Eriotheca and Pachira, and investigate their biogeographic history. The Pachira s.l. clade comprises ca. 72 species that traditionally have been placed in Eriotheca and Pachira. We sampled ca. 79% of its species

Identification and phylogenetic analysis of marine sponges in the Jordanian Gulf of Aqaba using DNA barcoding

Heliyon
Sponges (Porifera) are the largest biomass component of coral reefs benthic fauna among marine organisms and are very morphologically diverse. In the present work, we aimed to identify marine sponges in the Jordanian Gulf of Aqaba using the partial 18S ...

Dietary resilience of coral reef fishes to habitat degradation

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Metabarcoding of gut contents shows that two common benthic‐feeding reef fishes with different feeding stratgies—a butterflyfish (Chaetodon capistratus) and a hamlet (Hypoplectrus puella)—shift diets on degraded reefs. These shifts mirror contrasting patterns in body condition: butterflyfish showed strong individual variation, whereas condition was ...

125 years of exploration and research at Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK) 125 ans d'exploration et de recherches à Gough's Cave (Somerset, Royaume‐Uni)

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Our understanding of the recolonization of northwest Europe in the period leading up to the Lateglacial Interstadial relies heavily on discoveries from Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK). Gough's Cave is the richest Late Upper Palaeolithic site in the British Isles, yielding an exceptional array of human remains, stone and organic artefacts, and butchered ...

A global estimator of C and N isotope baselines for fresh waters

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Baselines are the pebbles in the shoes of isotope ecologists. The extreme variability of the isotope composition of resources at the base of food webs governs the spatial differences of consumers' isotope composition, so that isotope‐inferred trophic properties can be compared across ecosystems only after correction for baseline effects ...
