Summary: The intrusion of Atlantic-origin cold saline water in the summer of 2017 was found to be an essential mechanism responsible for transporting Pacific-origin nutrients to the surface layer, leading to anomalously high surface phytoplankton blooms in the northwestern Chukchi Sea.

Summary: DNA-encoded compound libraries are widely used in small molecule screening, aiming to cover chemical space with diverse molecules. By substituting purines with 7-deazaadenine in DNA barcodes, stability and reactivity of the barcodes are enhanced for a wider range of reactions in library design.

Summary: This study shows that the atmospheric Arctic Dipole (AD) modulates the inflows of warm subarctic waters, affecting sea ice, oceanic circulation, and heat fluxes in the Nordic Seas. The AD+ phase slows sea-ice loss, while a transition to the AD- phase may accelerate the decline of Arctic sea ice.

Summary: The study reveals that silicon isotopic composition of Pacific-origin waters can track the modification of water masses as they transit through the Arctic, reflecting biogenic silica dissolution and biological utilization of silicon in surface waters. The research also estimates the biogenic silicon isotope effect and proposes a method to estimate sea-ice algae production.

Summary: During the past decades, the Arctic has experienced significant tropospheric warming, with varying decadal warming rates. External radiative forcing, interdecadal Pacific variability, Atlantic multidecadal variability, and Arctic sea-ice concentration changes all contribute to the warming, with external radiative forcing being the primary driver. The effects of these factors reproduce the observed accelerated and step-down Arctic warming in different decades, but with generally weaker intensities.

Summary: The study presents a simple and robust method for multiplexed molecular probing using fluorescent DNA barcodes generated from hierarchically assembled DNA origami superstructures. Machine learning algorithm was successfully utilized for high precision processing and identification of barcodes. The increase in the number of combinations was achieved through various methods, showcasing the potential for applications in target nucleic acid sequence capture and simultaneous characterization of binding kinetics of multiple complementary nucleic acids.

Summary: This paper explores the physical cause of the decadal variability of the warm Arctic-cold Eurasia (WACE) pattern observed in recent decades. The study finds that the phases of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) mediate the decadal variability of the WACE pattern. The study also highlights the influence of PDO and AMO on the meridional structure of the WACE pattern, leading to different spatial distributions of warm and cold anomalies.

Summary: Research shows that the Canadian Arctic Archipelago region's sediment resuspension and sediment-water interactions result in the enrichment of iron in water bodies, which are then transported to Baffin Bay, providing crucial support for primary production and nitrogen fixation in the region and beyond.

Summary: Understanding the connection between the tropical Pacific and Atlantic Oceans has been a challenge for the climate community. While Atlantic Nino events are usually followed by Pacific events of opposite sign, incorporating Atlantic information does not enhance predictive skill for subsequent ENSO events. This study resolves this conundrum by showing that the observed correlation between Atlantic and Pacific is a statistical artifact, and the impact of Pacific events on the Atlantic is limited to a short window in late spring.

Summary: This study experimentally demonstrates the potential of a double nanopore system for determining DNA barcodes, and identifies tension propagation along the chain's backbone as a key element in chain motion. It suggests the importance of considering the dynamics of the entire chain in measuring DNA barcodes accurately.

Summary: The connection between the North Tropical Atlantic (NTA) sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies and El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events varies considerably over multidecadal timescales and is mainly controlled by the multidecadal variability of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). During the positive phase of the NAO, the NTA impact on ENSO is amplified due to strengthening of precipitation over the equatorial Atlantic and enhancement of the persistence of NTA SST anomalies.

Summary: The Nordic Seas are experiencing abrupt climate change, connecting the Arctic Ocean and North Atlantic Ocean with complex water masses. The viromes in this region show distinct features in the cold Arctic waters and warm Atlantic waters, with Caudovirales and NCLDVs dominating in different conditions. This study provides important insights into the viral communities in response to climate change in the subarctic seas.

Summary: The aim of DNA barcoding is to accurately identify species. However, universal barcodes often fail to discriminate species in taxonomically complex groups. The development of assays that allow low-cost access to large numbers of nuclear markers is a major challenge in plant DNA barcoding.

Summary: Due to limited resources, prioritizing species for conservation is necessary, with zoos often selecting different species from conservation organizations. A novel species surrogacy approach is proposed, using non-threatened species as proxies for related threatened species in zoos to enhance conservation efforts.

Summary: This study compared the local threat status and zoo population size of native bird, mammal, reptile, and amphibian species in North American zoos. It found that the contribution of zoos to the conservation of locally threatened species is relatively limited, but zoos tend to have larger populations of species threatened in more subnational regions.
