Changes in phytoplankton and biomineral content of particles during episodic fluxes to abyssal depth
Large episodic pulses of particulate organic carbon (POC) at the deep‐sea (~ 4000 m) time‐series Sta. M in the Northeast Pacific Ocean have increased in frequency and magnitude over the past 32 years. We inferred the ecological drivers of these events by

We have observed and collected unusual specimens of what we recognize as undescribed types of the genus Atolla over the past 15 years. Of these, there appear to be three potentially different types.

Reliability of AMS 14C dates of moss temper preserved in Neolithic pottery from the Scheldt river valley (Belgium) [PDF]
Direct dates of pottery obtained from food crusts or other organic residues on the vessel surfaces can be affected by a reservoir effect and/or an old wood effect and therefore be unreliable.

Physiological effects of environmental acidification in the deep-sea urchin Strongylocentrotus fragilis [PDF]
Anthropogenic CO2 is now reaching depths over 1000 m in the Eastern Pacific, overlapping the Oxygen Minimum Zone (OMZ). Deep-sea animals are suspected to be especially sensitive to environmental acidification associated with global climate change.

Ecological divergence of a mesocosm in an eastern boundary upwelling system assessed with multi-marker environmental DNA metabarcoding [PDF]
Eastern boundary upwelling systems (EBUS) contribute a disproportionate fraction of the global fish catch relative to their size and are especially susceptible to global environmental change.

Biotechnological exploitation of mosses has several aspects, for example, the use of moss extracts or the whole plant for diverse industrial applications as well as their employment as production platforms for valuable metabolites or pharmaceutical proteins, especially using the genetically and developmentally best-characterised model moss ...

Head-mounted accelerometry accurately detects prey capture in California sea lions
Detecting when and where animals feed is key to understanding their ecophysiology, but our ability to collect these data in marine mammals remains limited.

Utilizing the Janus MoSSe surface polarization in designing complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors [PDF]
Janus transition metal dichalcogenides (JTMDs) have attracted much attention because of their outstanding electronic and optical properties. The additional out-of-plane dipole in JTMDs can form n- and p-like Ohmic contacts, and this may be used in device applications such as pin diodes and photovoltaic cells.

Multi-agent reinforcement learning for autonomous vehicles: a survey
In the near future, autonomous vehicles (AVs) may cohabit with human drivers in mixed traffic. This cohabitation raises serious challenges, both in terms of traffic flow and individual mobility, as well as from the road safety point of view.
