Abstract The publish‐or‐perish culture in academia has catalysed the development of an unethical publishing system. This system is characterised by proliferation journals and publishers—unaffiliated with learned societies or universities—that maintain extremely large revenues profit margins diverting funds away from academic community. Early career researchers (ECRs) are particularly vulnerable to consequences this because intersecting factors, including pressure pursue high impact...
Considerable uncertainty remains over how increasing atmospheric CO2 and anthropogenic climate changes are affecting open-ocean marine ecosystems from phytoplankton to top predators. Biological time series data thus urgently needed for the world's oceans. Here, we use carbon stable isotope composition of tuna provide a first insight into existence global trends in complex ecosystem dynamics oceanic cycle. From 2000 2015, considerable declines δ13 C values 0.8‰-2.5‰ were observed across three...
El Niño typically induces cooling in the Southwest Pacific Ocean during austral summers, usually leading to decreased marine heatwave frequency and severity. However, 2016 extreme unexpectedly coincided with longest most extensive ever recorded region. This heatwave, spanning over 1.7 million square kilometers, persisting for 24 days a peak intensity of 1.5°C, resulted massive coral bleaching fish mortality. exceptional warming from anomalously strong shortwave radiation...
Micronekton organisms, ranging in size from 2 to 20 cm and composed of various taxa (fish, cephalopods, gelatinous, crustaceans…), are present across all oceans play a vital role pelagic ecosystems the surface deep ocean. They form key component trophic web by feeding commercial top predators such as tuna, they participate actively carbon pump, influencing nutrient cycles marine environments. However, their abundance distribution, particularly ocean regions, remain uncertain. This study aims...
Abstract The western Baltic Sea cod (WBC) stock is at historically low levels, mainly attributed to high fishing pressure and recruitment. Stable assessment metrics suggested recovery potential, given appropriate fisheries management measures. However, changing environmental conditions violate stability assumptions, may negatively affect WBC, challenge the resource management. present study explored 42 years of changes in WBC biological parameters. body condition gradually decreased over...
Abstract Aim The criteria used to define the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List categories are essentially based on demographic parameters at species level, but they do not integrate species' traits or their roles in ecosystems. Consequently, current IUCN‐based protection measures may be sufficient conserve ecosystem functioning and services. Some have a singular combination associated with unique functions. Such functionally distinct increasingly recognized as...
Abstract Oceanic eddies are recognized as pivotal components in marine ecosystems, believed to concentrate a wide range of life spanning from phytoplankton top predators. Previous studies have posited that predators drawn these due an aggregation their forage fauna. In this study, we examine the response fauna, detected by shipboard acoustics, across broad sample thousand world’s oceans. While our findings show impact on surface temperatures and most cases, they reveal only minority (13%)...
Human interest in biodiversity is essential for effective conservation action but remains poorly quantified at large scales. Here, we investigated human 2408 marine reef fishes using data obtained from online public databases and social media, summarized two synthetic dimensions, research effort attention. Both dimensions are mainly related to geographic range size. Research also linked fishery importance, while attention more fish aesthetic value aquarium trade importance. We found a strong...
El Niño typically induces cooling in the Southwest Pacific Ocean during austral summers, usually leading to decreased marine heatwave frequency and severity. However, 2016 extreme unexpectedly coincided with longest most extensive ever recorded region. This heatwave, spanning over 1.7 million square kilometers, persisting for 24 days a peak intensity of 1.5°C, resulted massive coral bleaching fish mortality. exceptional warming from anomalously strong shortwave radiation reduced heat loss...
Evidence of large‐scale biodiversity degradation in marine ecosystems has been reported worldwide, yet most research focused on few species interest or limited spatiotemporal scales. Here we assessed the spatial and temporal changes taxonomic functional composition fish communities European seas over last 25 years (1994–2019). We then explored how these community were linked to environmental gradients fishing pressure. show that variation is more than two times higher variation, with a...
This study explores the impact of global climate targets on sea surface temperatures and marine heatwaves (MHWs) in Baltic Sea. We further evaluate potential adverse effects reproductive success western Sea (WBS) herring stock, which underwent a dramatic decline during past two decades. For this, we use refined ensemble projections from Coupled Model Intercomparison Project. WBS spawning ground, number MHW days nearly triples 34 days/year historical period, to 102 already under optimistic...
Mesopelagic resources are central to the ecosystem but remain poorly studied mainly due lack of observations. This paper investigated assemblages micronekton organisms and their habitat in Natural Park Coral Sea around New Caledonia (southwest Pacific) using data from 141 pelagic trawls. A total 67 130 individuals (fish, crustaceans, molluscs) were collected, with 252 species identified, among 152 genus 76 families. In analyses we focused on 22 species, each present more than 33 trawls...
Abstract Understanding the ecological mechanisms underpinning distribution patterns is vital in managing populations of mobile marine species. This study a first step towards an integrated description habitats and spatial distributions predators Natural Park Coral Sea, one world’s largest marine-protected areas at about 1.3 million km 2 , covering entirety New Caledonia’s pelagic waters. The aims to quantify benefit including proxy for prey abundance predator niche modelling, relative other...
Abstract Background The nucleoprotein (N protein) of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a candidate antigen for new RSV vaccine development. aim the present study was to investigate association between maternal antibody titers against N protein at birth and newborns' risk developing very severe lower tract infection (VS‐LRTI). Methods In this single‐center prospective cohort study, 578 infants born during epidemic season in France were included. Among these, 36 hospitalized VS‐LRTI. A...
