The Zooplankton International Geospatial dataset: A global repository of spatiotemporal freshwater zooplankton community composition data from lakes and reservoirs to support ecological research

Stephanie Figary, Michael F. Meyer, Rachel M. Pilla, Warren J. S. Currie et autres

Abstract Zooplankton transfer substantial energy in aquatic food webs and are used as indicators of environmental change. Syntheses of zooplankton community dynamics globally require datasets that span a wide range of environmental gradients; however, these datasets are limited due to methodological differences …

Long-term dynamics of the Lake Huron benthic community

Alexander Y. Karatayev, Nikolai V. Barulin, Susan E. Daniel, Anne E. Scofield et autres

Analysis of Lake Huron's benthic community structure from the 1950s to 2022 provides a long-term perspective on the effects of environmental change on the benthic community and the potential for ecosystem recovery. The lake's four major basins differ markedly in benthic community …

Phytoplankton growth and potential cyanotoxin production differ in response to nitrogen and phosphorus amendments in late summer communities from Kabetogama Lake (Minnesota, United States)

James H. Larson, Ryan P. Maki, Sean W. Bailey, Victoria G. Christensen et autres

Abstract Cyanotoxins such as microcystin (MC), cylindrospermopsin, and saxitoxin are secondary metabolites that are rich in nitrogen (N). Most cyanobacteria grow best on reduced inorganic N (ammonium, NH 4 ), but when NH 4 is absent, cyanobacteria can activate physiological pathways to …

Using effect biomarker thresholds in regulatory risk assessment: an OECD-based framework for assessing cumulative exposures to chemical mixtures

Antonio F. Hernández, Maryam Zare Jeddi, Martin F. Wilks, Rex FitzGerald et autres

The international initiative titled: "Using Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOP) to address combined exposures to chemicals with relevant effect-biomarkers", was coordinated by the OECD's Working Parties on Exposure Assessment (WPEA) and Hazard Assessment (WPHA). It brought together over 90 experts from 25 countries …

GPU-accelerated city-scale urban flood forecasting for real-time decision-making

Abhinav Wadhwa, Ashish Sharma, Xilin Xia, Ting Pong Chan et autres

High-intensity rainfall flooding is an escalating global urban hazard, with exposure growing as cities expand and climate change intensifies. Increasing short-duration extremes are driving more frequent, severe flooding, raising damages, and disproportionately impacting vulnerable communities. These trends highlight the need for flood …

Device-Specific Fire Risk Analysis of Lithium-Ion Battery Incidents: Engineering Implications for Detection and Protection Systems

Matthew D. Bucala, Dac Nguyen, Holli Knight, Adam Barowy

Abstract Lithium-ion battery fires present increasing safety engineering challenges, with U.S. incident rates rising 86% between 2020 and 2023, particularly in micromobility devices and urban environments. We analyzed 148 lithium-ion battery fire incidents documented through the Massachusetts State Fire Marshal’s specialized checklist …

Systematic discovery of a topical bacterial consortium that targets Staphylococcus aureus to treat atopic dermatitis

Emily L. Bean, Bernardo Cervantes, Keaton Armentrout, A. H. Hassaballah et autres

Abstract Atopic dermatitis (AD) flares are frequently accompanied by Staphylococcus aureus overgrowth and activation of quorum sensing-regulated virulence pathways that amplify inflammation and barrier dysfunction. Because commensal members of the skin microbiome can inhibit S. aureus colonization and virulence, we hypothesized that …
