Influence of climate factors on the formation of radial increment of walnut wood by Leonid Osadсhuk, Volodymyr Mahuran, Liubov Kondratiuk

“…The correlation analysis for two periods of plant growth (the first period 1994-2003 and the second period 2004-2023) showed that due to climate changes, namely, an increase in air temperature and a decrease in the amount of precipitation (which was irregular and intense) changed growth response both in forest ecosystems and plantations. In the growing season of 2004-2023, with an increase in the intensity and frequency of extreme weather conditions during the vegetative development of plants, such as high air temperatures and moisture deficit, the negative impact of these phenomena on the growth of walnuts was observed. …”

Pseudovibriamides from Pseudovibrio marine sponge bacteria promote flagellar motility via transcriptional modulation by Yitao Dai, Vitor Lourenzon, Laura P. Ióca, Dua Al-Smadi, Lydia Arnold, Ian McIntire, Roberto G. S. Berlinck, Alessandra S. Eustáquio

“…Finally, we observed many differentially expressed genes (up to 29% of the total gene number) indicating that pseudovibriamides have a global effect on transcription that goes beyond motility.IMPORTANCEMarine sponges are found throughout the oceans from tropical coral reefs to polar sea floors, playing crucial roles in marine ecosystems. Pseudovibrio bacteria have been proposed to contribute to sponge health. …”

Improving machine learning predictions to estimate fishing effort using vessel's tracking data by J. Samarão, A. Moreno, M.B. Gaspar, M.M. Rufino

“…This information can identify areas with high fishing density, warranting protection of their main fishing grounds against other users (i.e. ocean grabbing), while also signalling potential stock depletion requiring management interventions and preserving the ecosystems from which these fisheries depend on.In this study, we propose a series of steps to enhance the performance of Machine Learning algorithms in estimating fishing effort. …”
