Marine microalgae demonstrate a notable capacity to adapt to high CO and warming in the context of global change. However, the dynamics of their evolutionary processes under simultaneous high CO₂ and warming conditions remain poorly understood. Here, we analyze the dynamics of evolution in experimental populations of a model marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum.

Marine microalgae, as one of the most important groups of primary producers in the biosphere, exhibit significant trade-offs across multiple traits in response to environmental changes, such as elevated CO (and consequent ocean acidification) and warming. In this review, we synthesize recent findings on the trade-offs associated with both short-term phenotypic acclimation and long-term genotypic adaptation of marine microalgae.

Intersectoral/multisectoral collaboration and action is foundational to strengthening the HWF, enabling responsiveness to dynamic population health demands and supporting broader goals around social and economic development-such development underpins the need for health in all policies (HiAP). To identify what can be learned from intersectoral/multisectoral activity for HWF strengthening to advance HiAP, we carried out a scoping review.

In 2016, the Liberian Ministry of Health launched the National Community Health Services Policy 2016-2021, which included significant CHW programme reform to address ongoing health workforce capacity gaps in the country. However, little consideration was given to the impact of such reforms on ongoing health interventions that rely heavily on the use of CHW cadres.
