Background: Global climate change significantly affects photosynthesis in spring wheat. However, the successive dynamic effects of multiple environmental interactions on photosynthesis in spring wheat have been inadequately investigated. This study conducted pot control experiments to determine photosynthesis characteristics, namely light and CO response curves, in spring wheat under progressive drought stress.

The mummichog Fundulus heteroclitus is a trophically important fish inhabiting Atlantic coastal salt marshes, with few in situ estimates of overwinter survival throughout the species range. We estimated overwinter apparent survival rates of F. heteroclitus at the approximate mid-latitudinal species range [coastal North Carolina (USA)] in four tidal creeks that experience variable winter water temperatures.

Increased nutrient loading in coastal waters poses a threat to marine ecosystems. To develop effective management strategies, a clearer understanding of nitrogen cycle dynamics for the main species is crucial for understudied urbanized areas. By employing stable isotopes of nitrate (δN and δO) and the rarely reported nitrite isotopes, we found a decoupling between physical mixing and microbial transformative processes in the Xiamen Bay.

Monitoring Arctic marine mammals in response to rapid climate change requires reliable longitudinal data. To obtain such data is challenging, but sequential measurements of stable isotopes (SI) from metabolically inert tissues like dentine allow for chronological reconstruction of SI data that can provide insights into whale life history, behaviour and physiology. This study examined dentine samples from narwhal embedded canines to reconstruct individual SI profiles and assess intra-annual variation in δN and δC.

Spermatogenesis, the process of male germ cell development, is tightly regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-testis (HPT) axis in seasonally breeding teleosts. Despite its importance, our understanding of how the brain and male germ cells coordinate key transitions-such as testis initiation and maturation-remains limited, particularly in species with distinct seasonal reproductive cycles. Black rockfish (), a marine viviparous teleost, exhibits a prolonged testis quiescent phase lasting three-quarters of the year, with testis initiation occurring in September and maturation concluding in November and December.
