Cause and consequences of Common Snook (Centropomus undecimalis) space use specialization in a subtropical riverscape by Rolando O. Santos, Mack White, W. Ryan James, Natasha M. Viadero, Jordan A. Massie, Ross E. Boucek, Jennifer S. Rehage

“…Projected changes in riverscape hydrological regimes due to water management and climate change accentuate the need to understand the natural variability in animal space use and its implications for population dynamics and ecosystem function. Here, we used long-term tracking of Common Snook (Centropomus undecimalis) movement and trophic dynamics in the Shark River, Everglades National Park from 2012 to 2023 to test how specialization in the space use of individuals (i.e., Eadj) changes seasonally, how it is influenced by yearly hydrological conditions, and its relationship to the between individual trophic niche. …”

Photodegradation of Nitrogen Oxide under Solar Light Using a Facile Synthesis Catalyst by Ernso Fenelon, Sheng-Jie You, Ya-Fen Wang

“…Abstract NOx is becoming a hot issue due to its contribution to ozone, PM2.5 formation, and its negative impacts on the ecosystem. In this study, the synthesis of an MgO/Bi2S3-BiOCl composite was carried out via the co-precipitation method for the photodegradation of nitrogen oxide (NO) under solar light. …”

Variability of nutrient transport and associated upper ocean primary production induced by Kuroshio meanders in the Enshu-nada Sea, Japan by Namazue Gaku, Uchiyama Yusuke, Zhang Xu, Masunaga Eiji

“…Towards the desirable preservation of the marine environment under a changing global climate, this study aims to investigate the coastal biological response to varying oceanic conditions, namely the Kuroshio meander, and associated nitrate transport on the Pacific coast of Japan around the Enshu-nada Sea, using a coupled three-dimensional regional ocean circulation model with a nitrogen-based ecosystem model. A prominent difference was found in nitrate transport processes between for a period when the Kuroshio took a meandering path and for a non-meandering period, leading to about 1.5 times higher surface primary production measured by chlorophyl-a concentration during the non-meandering period than during the meandering period. …”
