Review of the fauna associated with wild and farmed mussels and oysters in the Mediterranean

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mussels and oysters are important ecosystem engineers which modify the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment and create habitats that support highly diverse associated communities. In the Mediterranean Sea, the native Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, together the ...

Improving marine heatwave simulations through realistic Kuroshio representation in a high-resolution dynamical downscaling ensemble

Weather and Climate Extremes
Marine heatwaves (MHWs), marked by extended periods of unusually warm seawater, significantly impact marine ecosystems and human communities. They have notably increased in the recent decades especially in the Northwest Pacific, a complex coastal region ...

Retrieval of the precipitable water vapor from shipborne multi-GNSS measurements in tropical cyclone-prone regions of the Northwest Pacific during the summer season in 2021 [PDF]

Atmospheric Measurement Techniques
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is useful for monitoring atmospheric precipitable water vapor (PWV) content. GNSS observations performed in the ocean are relatively rare, making PWV observations at sea difficult to achieve.

Land birds on atolls: diversity, origin, and function

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oceanic islands are global hotspots of avian biodiversity and endemism. Their isolation and distinct environmental conditions have uniquely shaped the evolutionary trajectories of island birds, while, in turn, land bird communities have become critical providers of ecological functions to island ecosystems.

Long‐term hydrographic variability in the Northwest Pacific Ocean [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2003
Hydrographic changes in the Northwest Pacific Ocean are examined using data for two time periods: 1945: 1975 and 1976:1998. The largest changes in T/S (2°C,0.2 psu) are within the interfrontal zone between the Kuroshio Extension (KE) and the subarctic (or Oyashio) front near the Shatsky Rise, and are consistent with a southward shift of the Kuroshio ...

Reduced size of larvae and small fish linked to warming and reduced prey density

Ecography, EarlyView.
Body size is an integrative trait that has declined across many ecological assemblages in the last decades. Changes in body size of early life stages and small‐bodied fish are driven by complex interactions between size‐dependent mortality, and temperature‐ and food‐dependent growth, and can have consequences for recruitment to the adult stock and food

Time irreversibility as an indicator of approaching tipping points in Earth subsystems

Communications Earth & Environment
With shifting environmental trends, many Earth system elements may be poised to undergo critical transitions or ‘tipping’. Reliable anticipation of these tipping elements is vital to inform policy decisions.

Glacial-Interglacial Variations in Organic Carbon Burial in the Northwest Pacific Ocean Over the Last 380 kyr and its Environmental Implications

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The carbon cycle on the Earth’s surface is linked to long-term variations in atmospheric CO2 as well as carbon sequestration in various pools. The burial of particulate organic carbon (OC) in marine sediments is also highly sensitive to the global ...

Spatially heterogenous range dynamics since the Last Glacial Maximum underpin the modern bimodal latitudinal diversity gradient in planktonic foraminifera

Ecography, EarlyView.
The modern latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) of planktonic foraminifera is bimodal, with a distinct depression near the equator surrounded by mid‐latitude diversity peaks. This pattern emerged after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; 19–23 ka), but it remains unclear how species' spatial dynamics contributed to its formation.

Contrasting Heatwave Regimes in Dry and Humid Subtropical Mexico: A Station‐Based Probabilistic Assessment

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Heatwaves have intensified under a warming climate, producing substantial environmental and societal impacts. This study characterizes heatwave regimes in two contrasting regions of Mexico using a percentile‐based threshold and a Poisson distribution framework.
