Co-occurring anthropogenic activities influence coastal ecosystems around the world. Notions of ecological exposure are promising indicators to better understand environmental status and enhance ecosystem protection. This study characterized in context multiple human on benthic at a scale <100 km. Using particle diffusion model fishing event data, we developed an index for seven (aquaculture, artificial structures, dredging, fisheries, runoff, sewers shipping) Canadian industrial harbour area. A generally low cumulative was obtained, with highest values observed directly front city areas. Derived indices explained portion community structure (R2 = 0.22), suggesting link between species their vulnerability activities. Such tools relevant data-poor environments where proxies required assess state ecosystem, facilitating application ecosystem-based management.

Resonant photonic refractive index sensors have made major advances based on their high sensitivity and contact-less readout capability, which is advantageous in many areas of science technology. A issue for the technological implementation such response to external influences, as vibrations temperature variations; more sensitive a sensor, susceptible it also becomes influences. Here, we introduce novel bowtie-shaped sensor that highly responsive variations while compensating changes mechanical (linear angular) vibrations. We exemplify its capability by demonstrating detection salinity precision 0.1%, corresponding 2.3 × 10–4 units presence fluctuations As second exemplar, detected bacteria growth pilot industrial environment. Our results demonstrate possible translate resonant into real-world environments.

Abstract Climate‐change is rapidly and intensively altering aquatic communities habitats. While previous work has focused on direct effects of potential drivers, indirect interactive organisms ecosystems have received less attention. Here, we give an overview contributions to a special issue in Limnology Oceanography that addresses this knowledge gap. Contributions covered diverse habitats, from polar tropical regions, alpine streams coral reefs. Several studies relied time‐series identify effects, thus emphasizing our need maintain high‐quality data. Time‐series are particularly crucial now the pace climate‐change aquatic‐ecosystems accelerating. Another common theme role species‐specific characteristics physiology, behavior or genetics ecosystem function. The addition inter‐ intra‐specific variability investigations may be challenging since typically involve large parameter space environmental biological variables across spatial temporal scales. However, results demonstrate inclusion dynamics, although challenging, can deliver mechanistic insights into patterns processes. Some leverage habitat changes disturbances climate shifts document capacity for resilience recovery pelagic benthic communities. Jointly, fruitful approaches provide urgent information needed deciphering responses forcings. This foundational if wish tackle combined change other human impacts with maximum efficacy minimize unintended consequences biodiversity functioning.

Abstract Water salinization is a recognized growing threat to freshwaters, whose consequences on streams’ function, per se or concomitantly with other stressors, are still far from clear. This microcosm study evaluated the combined effect of (0 and 4 g/l NaCl) temperature (5, 15, 20 °C) microbial-mediated oak leaf litter decomposition, fungal biomass, sporulation, microbial respiration as descriptors. Invertebrate consumption was also assessed using common shredder Sericostoma vittatum (Trichoptera, Sericostomatidae). Mass loss affected by interaction between salinity temperature. Under salt conditions, mass higher at 15 °C reduced (~ 10%) °C. Microbial activity lower 5 °C, irrespective salinity. Fungal biomass both (5 < (4 0 NaCl), although not significant. The variables production spores: addition strongly sporulation rates all temperatures despite significant increase in conidial significantly only salinization. Overall, our results seem indicate that may modulate (at least ≥ stream decomposition. While stronger effects be observed temperatures, consistent strong inhibition shredders’ feeding behavior promoted salt, regardless temperature, anticipate important repercussions secondary throughout year.
