Coral reefs form vast ecosystems in tropical oceans that are hotspots for biodiversity and are economically valuable. The ecological success of coral reefs is made possible by the symbiotic relationship between corals and dinoflagellate algae from the family Symbiodiniaceae. In this symbiosis, the algae are found within host gastrodermal cells...
The inaccessibility of open ocean habitat and the cryptic nature of small
animals are fundamental problems when assessing the distribution of
oceanic-stage sea turtles and other marine animals sharing similar life-history
traits. Most methods that estimate patterns of abundance cannot be
applied in situations that are extremely data limited. Here,...

Predicting the distribution of oceanic-stage
We used simulated magnetic displacements to test orientation preferences of
juvenile steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) exposed to magnetic fields
existing at the northernmost and southernmost boundaries of their oceanic
range. Fish reared in natural magnetic conditions distinguished between
these two fields by orienting in opposite directions, with headings that
would...

Despite its very low oral bioavailability and rapid elimination, multiple reports of unexpectedly high bisphenol A (BPA) concentrations in the serum of pregnant mothers or cord blood have raised questions about BPA exposures during pregnancy. Thirty healthy pregnant women recruited to the study were evaluated for total BPA exposure over...

Accurate assessment of specific mortality factors is vital to prioritize recovery actions for threatened and
endangered species. For decades, tag recovery methods have been used to estimate fish mortality due to avian
predation. Predation probabilities derived from fish tag recoveries on piscivorous waterbird colonies typically
reflect minimum estimates of predation...

Assessing impacts of future anthropogenic carbon emissions is currently impeded by uncertainties in our knowledge of equilibrium climate sensitivity to atmospheric carbon dioxide doubling. Previous studies suggest 3 K as best estimate, 2–4.5 K as the 66% probability range, and non-zero probabilities for much higher values, the latter implying a...
