Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization
In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways of indirect effects: feedback loops.

DmdA‐independent lag phase shortening in Phaeobacter inhibens bacteria under stress conditions
The lag phase is crucial for resuming bacterial growth and can be shortened by fueling the methionine cycle with methyl groups from DMSP or other methylated compounds. While DmdA is the primary DMSP demethylase in Phaeobacter inhibens, stress activates additional enzymes like Bmt. This enzymatic flexibility allows bacteria to exit the lag phase rapidly,

ABSTRACT Climate change is transforming marine ecosystems, opening new fishing possibilities for large‐scale trawling vessels in the Arctic. This study investigates the potential for new fishing grounds to emerge in West Greenland. We employed a maximum entropy model to predict fishing suitability based on climatological and time‐invariant variables ...

Past research and future directions in understanding how birds use their sense of smell
Our understanding of the functional importance of olfaction to birds has improved over the past 60 years, largely as the result of experimental studies testing how birds use their sense of smell in different contexts. As it is impossible to measure directly which odours birds can detect, we rely on measuring behavioural responses to scent cues or ...
