Revisiting global diversity and biogeography of freshwater diatoms: New insights from molecular data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The distribution of microorganisms has long been assumed to be cosmopolitan and primarily controlled by the environment, but recent studies suggest that microbes may also exhibit strong biogeographical patterns driven by ... -
Incorporating climate change model projections into ecological risk assessments to help inform risk management and adaptation strategies: Synthesis of a SETAC Pellston Workshop®
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The impacts of global climate change are not yet well integrated with the estimates of the impacts of chemicals on the environment. This is evidenced by the lack of consideration in national or international reports that ... -
Evaluating the effects of climate change and chemical, physical, and biological stressors on nearshore coral reefs: A case study in the Great Barrier Reef, Australia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)An understanding of the combined effects of climate change (CC) and other anthropogenic stressors, such as chemical exposures, is essential for improving ecological risk assessments of vulnerable ecosystems. In the Great ... -
Incorporating climate projections in the environmental risk assessment of pesticides in aquatic ecosystems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Global climate change will significantly impact the biodiversity of freshwater ecosystems, both directly and indirectly via the exacerbation of impacts from other stressors. Pesticides form a prime example of chemical ... -
Estimating Sea Surface Salinity in the East China Sea Using Satellite Remote Sensing and Machine Learning
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Sea surface salinity (SSS) is a master variable in oceanography and important to understand marine biogeochemical and physical processes. In the East China Sea (ECS), a random forest based regression ensemble model (RF) ... -
European Approaches Support an Essential Definition of Ecosystem-Based Management and Demonstrate Its Implementation for the Oceans
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Unclear, contested definitions and high complexity have been used to explain why ecosystem-based management (EBM) has been hard to implement. This still seems to be a problem, judging from the unspecific references to it ... -
Can plastic related chemicals be indicators of plastic ingestion in an Arctic seabird?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)For decades, the northern fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis) has been found to ingest and accumulate high loads of plastic due to its feeding ecology and digestive tract morphology. Plastic ingestion can lead to both physical and ... -
Small watersheds may play a disproportionate role in arctic land-ocean fluxes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)While over 99% of coastal arctic rivers drain small catchments, future projections of landocean fluxes are based on data from large rivers. We encourage inclusion of and increased focus on smaller catchments to support ... -
Marine invasive alien species in Europe: 9 years after the IAS Regulation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Biological invasions, resulting from human activities, exert substantial impacts on ecosystems worldwide. This review focuses on marine invasive alien species (IAS) in Europe, examining the current state, proposing strategies ... -
Levelling-up rhodolith-bed science to address global-scale conservation challenges
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Global marine conservation remains fractured by an imbalance in research efforts and policy actions, limiting progression towards sustainability. Rhodolith beds represent a prime example, as they have ecological importance ... -
A global assessment of lake restoration in practice: New insights and future perspectives
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)A global survey of 179 restoration practitioners spanning 65 countries identified the extent of stakeholder engagement as a key factor determining the success or failure of restoration projects. Lack of support across ... -
Removal of a cyanotoxins mixture by loose nanofiltration membranes applied in drinking water production
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Cyanobacterial toxins may threaten human health if their levels in drinking water exceed certain thresholds. Therefore, it is important for water works that use raw water sources prone to cyanobacterial blooms to have ... -
The Role of Coastal Yedoma Deposits and Continental Shelf Sediments in the Arctic Ocean Silicon Cycle
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The availability of silicon (Si) in the ocean plays an important role in regulating biogeochemical and ecological processes. The Si budget of the Arctic Ocean appears balanced, with inputs equivalent to outputs, though it ... -
Long-term rise in riverine dissolved organic carbon concentration is predicted by electrolyte solubility theory
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The riverine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) flux is of similar magnitude to the terrestrial sink for atmospheric CO2, but the factors controlling it remain poorly determined and are largely absent from Earth system models ... -
Does sedation with AQUI-S® mitigate transport stress and post transport mortality in ballan wrasse (Labrus bergyltae)?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) are commonly used as cleaner fish in salmon farms as a biological treatment to mitigate sea lice infestation. Improved welfare for cleaner fish both during production of these fish and when ... -
No additional stress of sublethal gas supersaturation in a landlocked population of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) exposed to environmental acidification
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The landlocked Atlantic salmon population “bleke” faces extinction due to environmental acidification (EA) and hydropower expansion in the Norwegian river Otra. Despite of restoration, unexpected mortality has been reported ... -
Why is the Biotic ligand model so scarcely applied in Brazil? A review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Brazil boasts of large hydrographic basins, numerous lentic environments, and an extensive coastal region. These aquatic environments are susceptible to the presence of metals originated from both natural and anthropic ... -
Effects of petrogenic pollutants on North Atlantic and Arctic Calanus copepods: From molecular mechanisms to population impacts
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Oil and gas industries in the Northern Atlantic Ocean have gradually moved closer to the Arctic areas, a process expected to be further facilitated by sea ice withdrawal caused by global warming. Copepods of the genus ... -
Understanding temporal variability across trophic levels and spatial scales in freshwater ecosystems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)A tenet of ecology is that temporal variability in ecological structure and processes tends to decrease with increasing spatial scales (from locales to regions) and levels of biological organization (from populations to ... -
