Transcriptomic Temperature Stress Responses Show Differentiation Between Biomes for Diverse Plants.

Andrew, SC Harris, RJ Coppin, C Nicotra, AB Leigh, A Mokany, K

Plants are foundational to terrestrial ecosystems, and because they are sessile, they are particularly reliant on physiological plasticity to respond to weather extremes. However, variation in cons...

Climate Change Effects on Fishes

Nagelkerken, I Allan, B Booth, D Donelson, J Mellin, C Ravasi, T Rummer, J

Fishes comprise the most diverse group of aquatic vertebrates and are found across the world’s aquatic biomes and ecosystems — in freshwater, estuaries, as well as in the ocean. With this divers...

Is there a negative decadal trend in abundance of the weedy seadragon (Phyllopteryx taeniolatus)? Comment on survey data summarised in Edgar et al. (2023)

Schlögl, E Booth, DJ

ABSTRACT Decadal changes in abundance of marine organisms along the Australian coastline were reported in a recent Nature paper by Edgar et al. (2023...

Role of the RegCM4 Regional Climate Model in Investigating the Influence of the Initialized Soil Moisture on the Soil Temperature Profile of Egypt

Anwar, SA Srivastava, A

In this study, the sensitivity of the soil temperature (ST) profile of Egypt to different initial soil moisture conditions was investigated using the RegCM4 regional climate model. The RegCM4 was d...

Plants originating from more extreme biomes have improved leaf thermoregulation.

Arnold, PA White, MJ Cook, AM Leigh, A Briceño, VF Nicotra, AB

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Many plants have some capacity for leaf thermoregulation via stomatal conductance (gsw), such that leaf temperature (Tleaf) is rarely coupled with air temperature (Tair). The d...

Native Australian seedlings exhibit novel strategies to acclimate to repeated heatwave events.

Alvarez, PR Harris, RJ Cook, AM Briceño, VF Nicotra, AB Leigh, A

Heatwaves are becoming more intense and frequent. Plant photosystem thermal thresholds can vary with species, but also shift in response to environmental triggers. Both upper and lower thresholds c...

Salt-Assisted Vapor-Liquid-Solid Growth of 1D van der Waals Materials.

Pham, T Reidy, K Thomsen, JD Wang, B Deshmukh, N Filler, MA Ross, FM

The method of salt-assisted vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth is introduced to synthesize 1D nanostructures of trichalcogenide van der Waals (vdW) materials, exemplified by niobium trisulfide (NbS3)....

Historical changes in marine communities uncovered in diverse data sources highlight impacts over half a century

Turnbull, JW Booth, DJ Clark, GF

Context Historical records and citizen scientist data are a useful resource for long-term ecological studies, yet their quality and validity have been challenged. Aims We aimed to i...

Low dose aspirin prevents endothelial dysfunction in the aorta and foetal loss in pregnant mice infected with influenza A virus.

Coward-Smith, M Liong, S Oseghale, O Erlich, JR Miles, MA Liong, F Brassington, K Bozinovski, S Vlahos, R Brooks, RD Brooks, DA O'Leary, JJ Selemidis, S

Influenza A virus (IAV) infection in pregnancy resembles a preeclamptic phenotype characterised by vascular dysfunction and foetal growth retardation. Given that low dose aspirin (ASA) is safe in p...
