Exposure of insects to current use pesticide residues in soil and vegetation along spatial and temporal distribution in agricultural sites by Carolina Honert, Ken Mauser, Ursel Jäger, Carsten A. Brühl

“…Abstract Current use pesticides (CUPs) are recognised as the largest deliberate input of bioactive substances into terrestrial ecosystems and one of the main factors responsible for the current decline in insects in agricultural areas. To quantify seasonal insect exposure in the landscape at a regional scale (Rhineland-Palatine in Germany), we analysed the presence of multiple (93) active ingredients in CUPs across three different agricultural cultivation types (with each three fields: arable, vegetable, viticulture) and neighbouring meadows. …”

A local meteoric water line for interior Alaska constrains paleoclimate from 40 000 year old relict permafrost by Thomas A Douglas, Amanda J Barker, Alistair J Monteath, Duane G Froese

“…Information from past warming events provides long-term perspectives for future trajectories; however, late Quaternary seasonal temperatures are poorly constrained. We have established a stable water isotope meteoric water line for interior Alaska and measured stable water isotope values from 126 permafrost cores representing different ice types deposited over the past ∼40 ka (thousand years before 1950 CE). …”

Effects of Climate Change on Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases in Europe by J. S. Gray, H. Dautel, A. Estrada-Peña, O. Kahl, E. Lindgren

“…Increased winter activity of  I. ricinus is probably due to warmer winters and a retrospective study suggests that hotter summers will change the dynamics and pattern of seasonal activity, resulting in the bulk of the tick population becoming active in the latter part of the year. …”

An extreme North Atlantic Oscillation event drove the pelagic Sargassum tipping point by Julien Jouanno, Sarah Berthet, Frank Muller-Karger, Olivier Aumont, Julio Sheinbaum

“…Among the hypotheses being debated about the origin and nutrient source to support the blooms are either: a) an increase in nutrient supply to the Atlantic Ocean via continental, or atmospheric inputs, or b) long-distance transport of a seed population during the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) event of 2009/2010 and stimulation of blooms in the tropical North Atlantic by nutrient supply primarily due to seasonal vertical mixing of the upper water column. …”
