Sex Inversion of Sexually Immature Honeycomb Grouper (Epinephelus merra) by Aromatase Inhibitor [PDF]

open access: yesZoological Science, 2004
Previous studies have shown that estrogen plays an important role in sex change of protogynous honeycomb grouper, and that the treatments with aromatase inhibitor (AI) cause estrogen depletion and complete sex inversion of pre-spawning females into functional males.

Host Phylogeny and Feeding Habit Jointly Govern Mammalian Gut Microbiota Composition

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Herbivores showed higher alpha diversity than carnivores/omnivores, while omnivores had the highest beta diversity. Host phylogeny influenced gut microbiota more strongly in herbivores/omnivores, with phylogenetic distance correlating to microbiota dissimilarity.

PBL Height From AIRS, GPS RO, and MERRA‐2 Products in NASA GES DISC and Their 10‐Year Seasonal Mean Intercomparison

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, 2021
Within the planetary boundary layer (PBL), surface forcing response, drag, turbulence, and vertical mixing are important processes and play a more critical role here than in the overlying “free atmosphere.” The PBL height (PBLH) is an important parameter

Machine Learning Model Optimization for Antarctic Blowing Snow Height and Optical Depth Diagnosis

open access: yesAtmosphere
Blowing snow is a common phenomenon over the Antarctic ice sheet and sea ice regions, playing a crucial role in the Antarctic climate system. Previous research developed an optimized machine learning (ML) model to diagnose blowing snow occurrence using ...

Missing Summer Westerly Jet Barotropic Governor Effect Explains Climate Models—Observation Discrepancies in the Indian Monsoon Trends

open access: yesAGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract The South Asian summer monsoon has exhibited a pronounced Northwest India‐Indo‐Gangetic Plains rainfall dipole since 1999, with northwest India experiencing a 24.6% increase, while rainfall in the Indo‐Gangetic Plain has decreased by 4.4%.

Sustenance of phytoplankton in the subpolar North Atlantic during the winter through patchiness [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This study investigates the influence of two factors that change the mixed layer depth and can potentially contribute to the phytoplankton sustenance over winter: 1) variability of air-sea fluxes and 2) three-dimensional processes arising from strong ...
