Worship, Atsushi Yamaguchi, Wuchang Zhang, Anthony J. Richardson

Summary: The study provides strong support for Bergmann's rule in marine copepods, showing that temperature is a key factor in determining body size. Other drivers, such as food availability, also play a role in modifying this pattern. Smaller copepod species may benefit as 'winners' in a warming world, potentially impacting fisheries production and carbon sequestration rates.

Ship traffic connects Antarctica's fragile coasts to worldwide ecosystems

Arlie H. McCarthy, Lloyd S. Peck, David C. Aldridge

Summary: Antarctica is increasingly exposed to the negative effects of ship-borne human activity and the introduction of invasive species. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of ship movements into Antarctic waters and assesses the risk of introducing nonnative marine species. The study reveals that ships connect Antarctica to global regions through an extensive network of ship activity, with the Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland Islands being the most visited areas. Additionally, it highlights the importance of implementing biosecurity interventions in ports outside Antarctica and establishing monitoring programs in vulnerable Antarctic locations.

'Destructive fishing'-A ubiquitously used but vague term? Usage and impacts across academic research, media and policy

David F. Willer, Joshua Brian, Christina J. Derrick, Marcus Hicks, Alerick Pacay, Arlie H. McCarthy, Sophie Benbow, Holly Brooks, Carolina Hazin, Nibedita Mukherjee, Chris J. McOwen, Jessica Walker, Daniel Steadman

Summary: This study systematically reviewed the use of 'destructive fishing' in academic literature, media articles, and policy documents. The term 'destructive fishing' has seen increased usage since the 1990s compared to the generic term 'fisheries.' It predominantly focuses on fishing practices in Southeastern Asia, with bottom trawling and unspecified net fishing commonly associated with destructive fishing. The use of the term differs among academic literature, media articles, and policy documents.

Influence of environmental variability and Emiliania huxleyi ecotypes on alkenone-derived temperature reconstructions in the subantarctic Southern Ocean

Summary: Long-chain unsaturated alkenones produced by haptophyte algae are widely used as paleotemperature indicators, but complicating factors in the Southern Ocean, including the dominance of E. huxleyi var. aurorae, may impact the accuracy of alkenone-based SST reconstructions.

Effects of exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations of lead (Pb) on expression of stress and immune-related genes, and microRNAs in shorthorn sculpins (Myoxocephalus scorpius)

Khattapan Jantawongsri, Rasmus Dyrmose Norregaard, Lis Bach, Rune Dietz, Christian Sonne, Kasper Jorgensen, Syverin Lierhagen, Tomasz Maciej Ciesielski, Bjorn Munro Jenssen, Courtney Alice Waugh, Ruth Eriksen, Barbara Nowak, Kelli Anderson

Summary: Old lead-zinc mining sites in Greenland have increased the concentration of lead in local marine organisms, including the shorthorn sculpin. This study investigated the effect of exposure to environmentally relevant waterborne lead on gene expression in shorthorn sculpins. The results suggest that lead exposure influences the expression of metallothionein and immune responses in shorthorn sculpins, and potential molecular markers have been identified.

Summary: Microbial communities in estuarine systems vary along the environmental gradient, and their structures are influenced by both oceanic and riverine inputs.

Marine planktonic dinophysoid dinoflagellates (order Dinophysales): 60 years of species-level distributions in Australian waters

Gustaaf M. Hallegraeff, Ruth S. Eriksen, Claire H. Davies, Julian Uribe-Palomino

Summary: This study reviewed 64 species of marine planktonic dinoflagellates from the Australian waters, confirming several causative organisms of diarrhetic shellfish poisoning. The ornate tropical genera Ornithocercus and Histioneis serve as warm-water indicators, while D. truncata is a cold-water Subantarctic species.

New observations on the rarely reported tropical dinoflagellates Tripos lanceolatus and T. schroeteri from the Colombian Caribbean, South Pacific and Indian Oceans

Luis Castro-Cera, Dario Vega-Diaz, Ruth S. Eriksen, Karine Leblanc, Gustaaf M. Hallegraeff

Summary: We reported the findings of the circumtropical dinoflagellate Tripos lanceolatus (Kofoid) F. Gomez from the Colombian Caribbean, with new records from the tropical western Pacific off Tonga and the Australian sector of the Indian Ocean. Scanning electron micrographs showed its morphological similarities to T. furca (Ehrenberg) F. Gomez within the subgenus Biceratium. Additionally, we reported the widely distributed tropical species T. schroeteri (B. Schroder) F. Gomez from the Colombian Caribbean and compared it to T. digitatus (F. Schutt) F. Gomez within the subgenus Archaeceratium.

Marked shifts of harmful algal blooms in the Bohai Sea linked with combined impacts of environmental changes

Xiao-Yu Li, Ren-Cheng Yu, Anthony J. Richardson, Chaojiao Sun, Ruth Eriksen, Fan-Zhou Kong, Zheng-Xi Zhou, Hui-Xia Geng, Qing-Chun Zhang, Ming-Jiang Zhou

Summary: The Bohai Sea in China, an important mariculture region, has experienced harmful algal blooms (HABs) for several decades. A dataset spanning from 1952 to 2017 was compiled to investigate changes in HABs and their potential drivers. The frequency of HAB events in the Bohai Sea has increased over time but plateaued in the last decade, and shifts in HAB-forming species and their distribution were observed. These changes are influenced by climate change, eutrophication, and mariculture development. Future monitoring programs, adaptive management strategies, and predictive models are needed to address the issue.

Reduction in size of the calcifying phytoplankton Calcidiscus leptoporus to environmental changes between the Holocene and modern Subantarctic Southern Ocean

Moy, Ruth Eriksen, Laura Makowka, Thibauld M. Bejard, Francisco Henri Rigal-Munoz, Alberto Hernandez-Martin, Maria Zorita-Viota, Jose Abel Flores

Summary: The Subantarctic Zone of the Southern Ocean is crucial for the Earth system, but there is limited data on its ecosystems, hindering predictions of future response to climate change. This study reconstructs the state of a key phytoplankton species and finds that environmental factors, especially warming and ocean acidification, have led to a reduction in coccolith size. These findings have implications for the efficiency of the marine carbon cycle and suggest the potential use of coccolith size as a proxy for growth rate.

Summary: Signatories to the Antarctic Treaty System's Environmental Protocol are committed to preventing non-native species incursions in Antarctica. The use of environmental DNA (eDNA) methods can enhance the detection and monitoring of non-native species for biosecurity purposes. This study identified priority biosecurity risks for the Australian Antarctic Program in East Antarctica and determined that the most appropriate eDNA methods should be capable of detecting high-risk taxonomic groups such as mussels, tunicates, springtails, and grasses. The most beneficial applications of eDNA biosecurity in Antarctica include surveillance of marine species, terrestrial invertebrates, and biofouling organisms on visiting vessels.
