Manifestations of climate change in the Arctic include an increase in water temperatures and massive loss of sea ice enabling more light penetration. Yet to understand tempo and scale of these parameters change over time, constant monitoring is needed. We present 16-yr long-term datasets of sea water temperature and relative light intensity at two depth strata (8 and 14 ± 1 m) of two hard-bottom sites in southern Isfjorden proper (Spitsbergen, 78°N).

- Antarctic blue carbon, found in the seafloor around Antarctica, represents the largest natural carbon storage with significant potential for carbon capture and sequestration, especially as ice loss patterns become more even across the region.
- While ocean warming could hinder blue carbon stocks globally, Antarctic blue carbon is expected to increase due to its unique biophysical characteristics and lower disturbance levels from human activities.
- The economic value of this carbon storage is estimated between £0.65 and £1.76 billion (~2.27 billion USD), prompting suggestions for a 'non-market framework' linked to the Paris Agreement and the Antarctic Treaty System to encourage conservation and proper valuation.
Introduction: Feline obesity is a worldwide concern which has recently been formally classified as a disease by the veterinary community. Management involves invoking controlled weight loss by feeding a purpose-formulated food in restricted quantities and altering physical activity. Most weight loss studies conducted in cats have been undertaken in research cat colonies from single geographic locations.

The main objective was to conduct an international, multi-centre, weight loss trial to determine the efficacy of a dietary weight loss intervention in obese pet dogs.
Methods: A 3-month prospective observational cohort study of weight loss in 926 overweight dogs was conducted at 340 veterinary practices in 27 countries.
It was thought that the Southern Ocean was relatively free of microplastic contamination; however, recent studies and citizen science projects in the Southern Ocean have reported microplastics in deep-sea sediments and surface waters. Here we reviewed available information on microplastics (including macroplastics as a source of microplastics) in the Southern Ocean. We estimated primary microplastic concentrations from personal care products and laundry, and identified potential sources and routes of transmission into the region.
