A new ultraviolet-sensitive instrument has enabled the first direct observations of corona discharges on trees under thunderstorms Corona discharges are transient in nature, often jumping from le...

Glimmer sparked by electrical fields detected in nature for the first time

This study provides the first assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem multifunctionality in urban vacant lots. Although urbanization and spatial aggregation of vacant lots impaired multifunctionalit...

Harmful algal blooms have been causing significant damage worldwide, and Hong Kong is no exception. To understand the drivers of algal bloom formation and forecast the dynamics of chlorophyll-a (Chl-a...

The Indo-Pacific finless porpoise ( Neophocaena phocaenoides ), a coastal cetacean species widely distributed from the Taiwan Strait to the Persian Gulf, is an iconic species that may represent an ove...

Cetacean eDNA metabarcoding results from the aquarium pool samples using new cetacean-specific primers. μCeta shows superior performance to detect and differentiate different cetacean species.

Liquid brains conceptualize living systems that operate without central control, where collective outcomes emerge from local and dynamic interactio...

Reservoir computing (RC) has emerged as a powerful computational paradigm, leveraging the intrinsic dynamics of complex systems to process temporal da…

Plastic pollution threatens marine and freshwater ecosystems and the services they provide. Although plastic bag bans and taxes are increasingly implemented worldwide, their effectiveness in reducing ...

Biodiversity monitoring is crucial for understanding ecosystem dynamics and species distributions, particularly in the context of anthropogenic impacts and climate change. Cetaceans, as key indicator ...
