The present study aimed to develop monitoring methods for shallow water sessile and mobile epifauna with the main focus on enhancing the chance of early detection for new non-indigenous species (NIS) invasions. The field sampling was conducted between June and September in 2012, in the Archipelago Sea (Finland). The tested monitoring methods included baited traps that capture organisms and habitat collectors that provide habitat and refuges for organisms, as well as fouling plates. Catch efficiency of a trap/collector was defined as the number of NIS and all species caught, including their abundances. The American collector with oyster shells (habitat collector) caught the highest number of NIS, and their use is recommended in all places, where oyster shells are easily accessible. Sampling of all habitats of interest between 1 and 2 m depth is recommended with at least three habitat collectors per site.

Small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) are essential regulators of gene expression across a wide range of organisms to precisely modulate gene activity based on sequence-specific recognition. In model plants like Arabidopsis thaliana, extensive research has primarily concentrated on 21 to 24-nucleotide (nt) sRNAs, particularly microRNAs (miRNAs). Recent advancements in cell and tissue isolation techniques, coupled with advanced sequencing technologies, are revealing a diverse array of preciously uncharacterized sRNA species.

While waves, swells and currents are important drivers of the ocean, their specific influence on the biocolonization of marine surfaces has been little studied. The aim of this study was to determine how hydrodynamics influence the dynamics of microbial communities, metabolic production, macrofoulers and the associated vagile fauna. Using a field device simulating a shear stress gradient, a multi-scale characterization of attached communities (metabarcoding, LC-MS, biochemical tests, microscopy) was carried out for one month each season in Toulon Bay (northwestern Mediterranean).

Papillary fibroelastoma is a benign cardiac tumor that most commonly arises from the valvular endocardium and is typically resected because of its predisposition to cause embolic complications. In this clinical vignette, we describe the case of a patient who presented with a round, mobile 1.3 × 1.

The extraordinary chemistry of microdroplets has reshaped how we as a community think about reactivity near multiphase boundaries. Even though interesting physico-chemical properties of microdroplets have been reported, "sessile" droplets' inherent mobility, which has been implicated as a driving force for curious chemistry, has not been well established. This paper seeks to answer the question: Can adsorbed microdroplets be mobile at the nanoscale? This is a tantalizing question, as almost no measurement technique has the spatiotemporal resolution to answer it.

Article Synopsis
- Seismic events, like the November 2016 earthquake near Kaikōura, New Zealand, led to significant coastal uplift and subsequent environmental stress for intertidal marine organisms, especially foundational seaweeds.
- Following these disturbances, including marine heatwaves in 2017/18, there was a drastic loss of the dominant southern bull kelp, which suggests that an ecological threshold was crossed, preventing recovery.
- As a result, alternative seaweed species, which were previously subordinate, became more abundant, leading to changes in ecological interactions and support for different marine species, indicating long-lasting shifts in marine ecosystems.
