Global sensitivity analysis of an end-to-end marine ecosystem model of the North Sea : factors affecting the biomass of fish and benthos [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Comprehensive analysis of parameter and driver sensitivity is key to establishing the credibility of models of complex systems. This is especially so for models of natural systems where experimental manipulation of the real-world to provide controlled ...

Plankton lifeforms as a biodiversity indicator for regional-scale assessment of pelagic habitats for policy

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2019
Plankton are sensitive indicators of change and, at the base of marine food webs, they underpin important ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration and fisheries production. In the UK and the Northeast Atlantic region, change in plankton functional

Mechanochromism of Glassy Polymers Enabled by a Loop‐Forming Supramolecular Mechanophore

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The supramolecular mechanophore LOOP is covalently introduced into glassy polymers, capable of reporting force‐induced pre‐failure damage and local fracture events in polymer glasses. Under different mechanical deformation modes, including grinding, tensile stretching, and scratching, LOOP probes irreversible events in polymer glasses through a ...

Ask the locals: application of fishers ecological knowledge to characterize use of a previously collapsed spawning ground by Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus)

open access: yesFACETS
Reproduction is a key component of species life history, and understanding spawning habitat, location, and timing is essential for effective population monitoring, conservation, and management. When a spawning ground of a fish population collapses, often

Assessment of Marine Litter in the Barents Sea, a Part of the Joint Norwegian–Russian Ecosystem Survey

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2018
This study presents a large-scale monitoring of marine litter performed in the joint Norwegian–Russian ecosystem monitoring surveys in the period from 2010 to 2016 and contribute to documentation of the extent of marine litter in the Barents Sea.

Detection of the elusive Dwarf sperm whale (Kogia sima) using environmental DNA at Malpelo island (Eastern Pacific, Colombia)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Monitoring large marine mammals is challenging due to their low abundances in general, an ability to move over large distances and wide geographical range sizes.

Speckle‐Engineered Upconversion Amplification in Nanoemulsion‐Templated Hydrogel Microdomes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Nanoemulsion‐confined PEGDA microdomes generate speckle‐like excitation fields that strongly amplify upconversion luminescence upon dehydration, enabling filter‐free visible readout with reversible on–off switching. DMD‐based lithography yields scalable, shape‐programmable arrays for moisture‐responsive displays and optical encryption.

The prokaryotic community of a flow regulated lagoon

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Microorganisms play a crucial role in all the environments they inhabit, including coastal areas. These ecosystems are facing increasing pressures due to climate change, rising sea levels, and mitigation measures. One such measure in the Venice lagoon is

Investment prospects in marine capture fisheries [PDF]

open access: yes, 1987
An examination is made of investment prospects in the Nigerian marine fisheries, considering the following sectors: inshore demersal fishery; inshore pelagic fishery; and the offshore pelagic fishery.

Horizontal distribution and overlap of planktivorous fish stocks in the Norwegian Sea during summers 1995–2006 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The Norwegian Sea harbours several large pelagic fish stocks, which use the area for feeding during the summer. The period 1995–2006 had some of the highest biomass of pelagic fish feeding in the Norwegian Sea on record.
