Geographical patterns of intraspecific genetic diversity reflect the adaptive potential of the coral Pocillopora damicornis species complex. by M Carr, C Kratochwill, T Daly-Engel, T Crombie, R van Woesik

“…Marine heatwaves are increasing in intensity and frequency however, responses and survival of reef corals vary geographically. Geographical differences in thermal tolerance may be in part a consequence of intraspecific diversity, where high-diversity localities are more likely to support heat-tolerant alleles that promote survival through thermal stress. …”

Network meta-analysis of cadmium toxicity against Chlorella vulgaris and the role of growth stimulants and macronutrients by M. Iqhrammullah, S. Saudah, M. Monalisa, F. Fahrurrozi, S.A. Akbar, S.S. Lubis

“…A comparison of growth stimulants, gibberellic acid and brassinolide (standard means differences of 1.7 and 3.8, respectively), in mitigating cadmium toxicity indicated the latter superior effectiveness in sustaining microalgal survivability. The presence of high nitrogen and low phosphorous levels was found to be significantly associated with a reduction in Chlorella vulgaris cells due to cadmium exposure.CONCLUSION: This research has provided conclusive proof of the harmful effects of cadmium on Chlorella vulgaris through the implementation of Bayesian frequentist network meta-analysis, offering valuable insights for environmental management practices. …”

Distribution of Cetaceans in the Canary Islands (Northeast Atlantic Ocean): Implications for the Natura 2000 Network and Future Conservation Measures by Inma Herrera, Inma Herrera, Manuel Carrillo, Marcial Cosme de Esteban, Ricardo Haroun

“…The waters of the Canary Islands are considered a hotspot for marine biodiversity, especially regarding cetacean species. Based on this fact, this study pays attention to the spatial distribution pattern of cetacean species and the conservation role of the Natura 2000 Network, a set of Special Areas of Conservation (SACs), which were defined mainly based on data compiled in 1996, under the framework of the European Habitats Directive. …”

Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network of Growth Differentiation-Related lncRNAs and mRNAs in Plectropomus leopardus by Jin GAO, Jinye LIU, Fuxiao CHEN, Yongbo WANG, Shuyuan FU

“…To address this issue, a majority of grouper species undergo a "size grading" process during seedling cultivation, wherein fries are segregated according to different size categories post-screening, thereby enhancing fry survival rates and shortening the overall cultivation cycle. …”

Impact of Prenatal Stress on Neuroendocrine Programming by Odile Viltart, Christel C. A. Vanbesien-Mailliot

“…Since life emerged on the Earth, the development of efficient strategies to cope with sudden and/or permanent changes of the environment has been virtually the unique goal pursued by every organism in order to ensure its survival and thus perpetuate the species. In this view, evolution has selected tightly regulated processes aimed at maintaining stability among internal parameters despite external changes, a process termed homeostasis. …”
