Histomorphological Damage in the Small Intestine of Wami Tilapia (Oreochromis urolepis) (Norman, 1922) Exposed to Microplastics Remain Long after Depuration
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The histopathological effects of microplastics (MPs) in the gastrointestinal tracts of fish following long-term exposure and depuration are relatively understudied. This study investigated histomorphological damage in the ... -
Characteristics of precipitation extremes over the Nordic region: added value of convection-permitting modeling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)It is well established that using kilometer scale grid resolution for simulations of weather systems in weather and climate models enhances their realism. This study explores heavy- and extreme-precipitation characteristics ... -
Limited role of climate change in extreme low rainfall associated with southern Madagascar food insecurity, 2019-21
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Southern Madagascar recently experienced a severe food security crisis, made significantly worse by well below average rainfall from July 2019 to June 2021. This exceptional drought has affected a region with high pre-existing ... -
Exploring time series of hyperspectral images for cold water coral stress response analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a promising technology for environmental monitoring with a lot of undeveloped potential due to the high dimensionality and complexity of the data. If temporal effects are studied, such as in ... -
Integrated Behavioral, Genetic and Brain Circuit Visualization Methods to Unravel Functional Anatomy of Zebrafish Amygdala
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The mammalian amygdala is a complex forebrain structure consisting of a heterogeneous group of nuclei derived from the pallial and subpallial telencephalon. It plays a critical role in a broad range of behaviors such as ... -
Observation-based Sea surface temperature trends in Atlantic large marine ecosystems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Variations in Sea Surface Temperature (SST) are an important driver of marine species abundance in Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs). Studies concerned with climate change induced SST trends within these LMEs have so far been ... -
Reconciling and Improving Formulations for Thermodynamics and Conservation Principles in Earth System Models (ESMs)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Earth System Models (ESMs) have numerous total energy budget errors. This article establishes the governing total energy equations for large-scale ESMs and assesses the energy budget errors in real-world simulations in a ... -
Using unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs) to map seagrass cover from Sentinel-2 imagery
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Seagrass habitats are ecologically valuable and play an important role in sequestering and storing carbon. There is, thus, a need to estimate seagrass percentage cover in diverse environments in support of climate change ... -
The sensitivity of the Eocene-Oligocene Southern Ocean to the strength and position of wind stress
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The early Cenozoic opening of the Tasmanian Gateway (TG) and Drake Passage (DP), alongside the synergistic action of the westerly winds, led to a Southern Ocean transition from large, subpolar gyres to the onset of the ... -
Biogeochemical impacts of fish farming on coastal sediments: Insights into the functional role of cable bacteria
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Fish farming in sea cages is a growing component of the global food industry. A prominent ecosystem impact of this industry is the increase in the downward flux of organic matter, which stimulates anaerobic mineralization ... -
Physiology as a tool for at-risk animal recovery planning: An analysis of Canadian recovery strategies with global recommendations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Many government organizations use recovery planning to synthesize threats, propose management strategies, and determine recovery criteria for threatened wildlife. Little is known about the extent to which physiological ... -
Ethical ecosurveillance: Mitigating the potential impacts on humans of widespread environmental monitoring
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Ecosurveillance has proliferated in recent years, generating vast amounts of data on the natural environment. Ecosurveillance also has significant potential impacts on humans; therefore, researchers and policymakers need ... -
Emit now, mitigate later? Earth system reversibility under overshoots of different magnitudes and durations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Anthropogenic CO2 emissions cause irreversible climate change on centennial to millennial timescales, yet current mitigation efforts are insufficient to limit global warming to a level that is considered safe. Carbon dioxide ... -
Possibility for strong northern hemisphere high-latitude cooling under negative emissions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)It is well established that a collapse or strong reduction of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) would substantially cool the northern high latitudes. Here we show that there is a possibility that such ... -
Afforestation affects rain-on-snow climatology over Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Rain-on-snow (ROS) events are most commonly found in sub-polar and alpine climates where they pose a considerable threat to society and nature. While the relationship between ROS frequency and large-scale climate features ... -
Toward a decade of ocean science for sustainable development through acoustic animal tracking
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The ocean is a key component of the Earth's dynamics, providing a great variety of ecosystem services to humans. Yet, human activities are globally changing its structure and major components, including marine biodiversity. ... -
Diverse Surface Signatures of Stratospheric Polar Vortex Anomalies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The Arctic stratospheric polar vortex is an important driver of winter weather and climate variability and predictability in North America and Eurasia, with a downward influence that on average projects onto the North ... -
The roles of humans and apex predators in sustaining ecosystem structure and function: Contrast, complementarity and coexistence
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In nearly every ecosystem, human predators (hunters and fishers) exploit animals at extraordinarily high rates, as well as target different age classes and phenotypes, compared to other apex predators. Demographically ... -
Representation of the Mozambique channel trough and its link to southern African rainfall in CMIP6 models
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The topography of Madagascar and the strength of the Mozambique Channel Trough (MCT) modulate summer rainfall over southern Africa. A strong MCT hinders the penetration of moisture bearing easterlies from the South Indian ... -
