In contrast to most of the Southern Ocean, the Kerguelen Plateau supports an unusually strong spring chlorophyll (Chl a) bloom, likely because the euphotic zone in the region is supplied with higher iron concentrations.This study uses satellite wind, sea surface temperature (SST), and ocean color data to explore the impact of wind-driven processes
Abstract Tidal cycles are known to affect the ecology of many marine Cupboard animals, but logistical obstacles have discouraged behavioural studies on sea snakes in the wild.Here, we analyse a large dataset (1,445 observations of 126 individuals) to explore tidally-driven shifts in the behaviour of free-ranging turtle-headed sea snakes (Emydocepha
The fast and precise fabrication of three-dimensional (3-D) structures made of nanofibers is an important development trend in the electrospinning technique.This paper describes a new and facile method of electrospinning to fabricate nanofibrous 3-D structures.The nanofibrous 3-D structures can be engineered to have the desired layer thicknesses, w
Large areas of agricultural land have been abandoned or are at risk of being abandoned such as small scattered fields and pastures in forest-dominated landscapes are unsuitable for modern mechanized agriculture and cost-efficient grazing.These areas have therefore become unprofitable to cultivate and graze.Spruce planting has been seen as the obvio
