Inventory of bat activity at Pearl Harbor National Memorial to inform historic preservation and compliance Inventory of bat activity at Pearl Harbor National Memorial to inform historic preservation and compliance
We examined ‘ōpe‘ape‘a, or Hawaiian hoary bat (Lasiurus semotus; Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae), acoustic activity and surveyed potential roost trees at the Ford Island Chief Petty Officer’s (CPO) Bungalows Neighborhood of Pearl Harbor National Memorial (PERL) on the island of O‘ahu. We established four acoustic monitoring stations (PERL1–PERL4) that operated nightly to survey for ‘ōpe...

Effects of 6PPD, 6PPD-quinone, and potential alternatives on freshwater mussels. Effects of 6PPD, 6PPD-quinone, and potential alternatives on freshwater mussels.
N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD) is an antioxidant and antiozonant widely used in tires. When 6PPD reacts with ozone, it transforms into a breakdown product called 6PPD-quinone (6PPDQ). Both compounds are currently being studied because of their high aquatic toxicity to fish, particularly coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch). The Washington State Legislature...

Tropical and subtropical coral reefs Tropical and subtropical coral reefs
Global declines in coral cover persist, owing to increasing ocean temperatures associated with climate change, continued coastal development, pollution, sedimentation, diseases and the destruction and overextraction of marine resources (through fishing and coral harvesting). These stressors have an impact on coral biodiversity, reef-associated fauna and the architectural complexity of...

Coastal development Coastal development
As a focal point of global urbanization, the coastal zone faces multiple pressures from human activities, land-sea interactions and natural disasters. Over the past five years, population, communities and infrastructure in coastal zones have consistently grown, alongside gradual economic recovery. Coastal pollution has become more complex owing to climate change and the coronavirus...

Characterization and modeling approach for planning restoration strategies in a complex basin affected by acid mine drainage Characterization and modeling approach for planning restoration strategies in a complex basin affected by acid mine drainage
The management of acid mine drainage (AMD) impacted catchments, such as the Odiel River basin, in southwestern Spain, prioritizes reclamation to meet water resources needs. Assessing water composition across its watercourses is needed to identify major AMD contributors and potentially guide remediation efforts. An equilibrium-based mixing model was developed to simulate AMD pollutant...

Bringing the Nature Futures Framework to life: Creating a set of illustrative narratives of nature futures Bringing the Nature Futures Framework to life: Creating a set of illustrative narratives of nature futures
To halt further destruction of the biosphere, most people and societies around the globe need to transform their relationships with nature. The internationally agreed vision under the Convention of Biological Diversity—Living in harmony with nature—is that “By 2050, biodiversity is valued, conserved, restored and wisely used, maintaining ecosystem services, sustaining a healthy planet...

Challenges and opportunities for Sendai framework disaster loss reporting in the United States Challenges and opportunities for Sendai framework disaster loss reporting in the United States
The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction provides quantitative indicators for nations to measure progress in the reduction of disaster losses. The collection and analysis of disaster loss data under the Sendai Framework improves our understanding of the effectiveness of national disaster risk reduction strategies and interventions. The Sendai Framework has enhanced cooperation...

Foliar chemical composition and respiration rates of sugar maple (Acer saccharum) and American beech (Fagus grandifolia) trees across a gradient of soil acidification Foliar chemical composition and respiration rates of sugar maple (Acer saccharum) and American beech (Fagus grandifolia) trees across a gradient of soil acidification
Acidic deposition has been well studied for its impacts on forest soils and plants and is thought to detrimentally affect sugar maple (Acer saccharum) in northeastern North America. The physiological mechanism driving reduced tree growth on acid impaired sites is not well understood, but has been suggested to involve increased autotrophic respiration rates. We measured foliar respiration...

Integrating Sr isotopes, microchemistry, and genetics to reconstruct Salmonidae species and life history Integrating Sr isotopes, microchemistry, and genetics to reconstruct Salmonidae species and life history
Recent approaches to fisheries research emphasize the importance of the coproduction of knowledge in building resilient and culturally mindful fisheries management frameworks. Despite widespread recognition of the need for Indigenous knowledge and historical reference points as baseline data, archaeological data are rarely included in conservation biology research designs. Here we...

Mercury methylation genes identified across diverse anaerobic microbial guilds in a eutrophic sulfate-enriched lake Mercury methylation genes identified across diverse anaerobic microbial guilds in a eutrophic sulfate-enriched lake
Mercury (Hg) methylation is a microbially mediated process that converts inorganic Hg into bioaccumulative, neurotoxic methylmercury (MeHg). The metabolic activity of methylating organisms is highly dependent on biogeochemical conditions, which subsequently influences MeHg production. However, our understanding of the ecophysiology of methylators in natural ecosystems is still limited...
