Embryonic development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Starfish play essential ecological roles as predators and ecosystem regulators; however, detailed developmental descriptions exist for only a handful of species, none of which are from the Mediterranean Sea. Results In this study, we provide the first full account of the development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata ...

From Ship to Shore: A Review of Vessel‐To‐Grid Bidirectional Charging for Sustainable Maritime Transport

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
As maritime transport electrifies, bidirectional charging (V2G) offers a dual‐purpose solution for energy resilience and economic viability. This work identifies key technological advancements and lifecycle challenges utilizing practical case studies to demonstrate how V2G systems can drive decarbonization and grid stability in the marine sector ...

PondNet – towards a global network of experiments on the effects of climate change on aquatic ecosystems

Ecography, EarlyView.
Global change is reshaping the distribution of biodiversity and the functioning of ecosystems. Predicting the long‐term consequences of such changes remains a challenge due to a need for a clear understanding of the mechanisms underpinning ecosystem‐level responses, as well as the role of geographical and environmental contingencies.

Consumer diversity drives stronger predation in tropical marine communities

Ecography, EarlyView.
Biotic interactions are predicted to be stronger in the tropics compared to higher latitudes, contributing to observed patterns of global biodiversity. While increased consumer diversity and more complex food webs are expected in tropical communities, the trophic dynamics underlying strong regional effects of predation are not well understood.

A See‐Saw of Subduction Rate in the North Pacific Western and Eastern Subtropical Mode Water Formation Areas Induced by the Aleutian Low

Geophysical Research Letters
Subduction of water masses serves as a critical linkage between the surface and subsurface ocean, playing a crucial role in redistributing heat, carbon, and nutrients in the ocean. This process significantly influences global climate and marine ecosystem

Enemy release: loss of parasites in invasive freshwater bivalves Sinanodonta woodiana and Corbicula fluminea

Ecography, EarlyView.
Invasive freshwater bivalves harm native species, ecosystems and biodiversity, and incur economic costs. The enemy release hypothesis posits that invasive species are released from enemies during the invasion process, giving them a competitive advantage in the new environment.

Thermochromic Radiative Cooling Coatings with Robust Superhydrophobicity for Energy‐Efficient Buildings

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A scalable, color‐adaptive radiative cooling coating is developed to enable dynamic spectral regulation via a reversible thermochromic transition at ~45 °C and a high solar reflectance of 91.7%. The coating achieves 4.44 °C outdoor sub‐ambient cooling while providing robust superhydrophobicity and environmental durability through its micro/nano ...

Warming of newly-subducted subtropical mode water in the North Pacific was suppressed from 1999 to 2017

Environmental Research Letters
Subtropical mode waters are important water masses influencing the regional and global climate. By tracing water masses from the mixed layer into the deeper ocean in late winter, we identified the newly-subducted North Pacific Subtropical Mode Water ...
