Floating macroalgae of Sargassum horneri (S. horneri) in the East China Sea (ECS) has increased in recent years, with ocean warming being one of the driving factors. Yet their possible origins, based on a literature review, are unclear. Here, using multi-sensor high-resolution remote sensing data and numerical experiments for the period of 2015-2023, we show two possible origins of the ECS floating S. horneri, one being local near the Zhejiang coast with initiation in January-February and the other being remote (> 800 km from the first) in the Bohai Sea with initiation in June-November...

A large-scale sampling was undertaken during a research cruise across the South China Sea in August 2016, covering an area of about 100,000 km2 to investigate the molecular diversity and distributions of micro-eukaryotic protists, with a focus on the potentially harmful microalgal (HAB) species along the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Environmental DNAs from 30 stations were extracted and DNA metabarcoding targeting the V4 and V9 markers in the 18S rDNA was performed. Many protistan molecular units, including previously unreported HAB taxa, were discovered for the first time in the water...

Urbanization and economic development have contributed to the rapid and massive generation of municipal solid waste (MSW) and significant changes in spatial patterns, which are becoming a serious pollution problem. Previously, macroscopic studies on the driving factors of MSW have been widely conducted at the national level, but the exploration of the driving factors in different geographical regions on a regional scale has not received much attention in the previous literature. This study is based on China, spatial patterns were analyzed using spatial autocorrelation and movement of center of gravity, and time series clustering was used to explore temporal trends...

Particulate pollution from forest fire smoke threatens the health of communities by increasing the occurrence of respiratory illnesses. Wind drives both fire behaviour and smoke dispersal. Understanding regional wind patterns would assist in effectively managing smoke risk. Sydney, Australia is prone to smoke pollution because it has a large population close to fire-prone eucalypt forests. Here we use the self-organising maps (SOM) technique to identify sixteen unique wind classes for the Sydney region from days with active fires, including identifying sea breeze occurrence...

Underwater biogenic habitats composed of unattached calcified red algae, named as rhodolith or maërl beds, may extant either alive or dead, over the seabed. The accumulation of rhodoliths constitute three-dimensional structured biogenic habitats that harbour high diversity of benthic organisms. In the Mediterranean Sea, rhodolith beds can be found between ca. 50 and 100 m, increasing diversity of the continental shelf habitats and their conservation value. Despite the remarkable relevance of these habitats, information regarding their spatial distribution in the western Mediterranean is scarce...

The East Sea, also known as the Sea of Japan, is a marginal sea located in the western Pacific Ocean, displaying comparable characteristics to Earth's oceans, thereby meriting its recognition as a "miniature ocean". The East Sea exhibits a range of annually-recurring biogeochemical features in accordance with seasonal fluctuations, such as phytoplankton blooms during the spring and autumn seasons. Despite ongoing monitoring efforts focused on water quality and physicochemical parameters, the investigation of prokaryotic assemblages in the East Sea, encompassing seasonal variations, has been infrequently pursued...

Elucidating the mechanisms governing microplastic transport and spatial distribution in offshore waters is essential to microplastic control. However, current research on microplastic transport in the China Seas is largely restricted to small-scale investigations, which do not provide a comprehensive result. Therefore, in this study, we used the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) combined with the Lagrangian Transport (LTRANS v.2) model to investigate how microplastics are transported around the China Seas during different seasons and under climatological river discharge...

To quantify the hazard or risks associated with severe convective wind gusts, it is necessary to have a reliable and spatially complete climatology of these events. The coupling of observational and global reanalysis (ERA-Interim) data over the period 2005-2015 is used here to facilitate the development of a spatially complete convective wind gust climatology for Australia. This is done through the development of Bayesian Hierarchical models that use both weather station-based wind gust observations and seasonally averaged severe weather indices (SWI), calculated using reanalysis data, to estimate seasonal gust frequencies across the country while correcting for observational biases specifically, the sparse observational network to record events...

Aquaculture is growing rapidly worldwide, and sustainability is dependent on an understanding of current genetic variation and levels of connectivity among populations. Genetic data are essential to mitigate the genetic and ecological impacts of aquaculture on wild populations and guard against unintended human-induced loss of intraspecific diversity in aquacultured lines. Impacts of disregarding genetics can include loss of diversity within and between populations and disruption of local adaptation patterns, which can lead to a decrease in fitness...

BACKGROUND: Cryptococcus is one of the most common systemic mycosis worldwide, infecting young adults of the large to giant breed dogs. Infection is commonly acquired from the environment via the sinonasal cavity as the main portal of entry. It either remains there, or spreads to the central nervous system (CNS) and the eye (optic nerve and retina) by penetration of the cribriform plate, or haematogenously to other viscera. Lung involvement is uncommon in cats and dogs in contrast to human and equine patients...

We present here the first observation of Bipalium admarginatum de Beauchamp, 1933 since its original description 90 years ago. Three specimens were found on Perhentian Kecil Island, off Terengganu State, Malaysia and photographed in the field, and two were collected. This report thus includes the first colour photographs published for this species, from a locality close to the type-locality, Tioman Island (which is ca. 200 km south of the locality in this study, on the east coast of Peninsula Malaysia). We describe the external morphology and colour pattern of the species, which correspond well to the original description, itself based only on two preserved specimens...
