Defaunation in the Anthropocene
We live amid a global wave of anthropogenically driven biodiversity loss: species and
population extirpations and, critically, declines in local species abundance. Particularly …

Antifungal activity of thiosemicarbazones, bis (thiosemicarbazones), and their metal complexes
Fungi are ubiquitous in nature, and typically cause little or no environmental or pathogenic
damage to their plant, animal, and human hosts. However, a small but growing number of …

Thermal stress and coral cover as drivers of coral disease outbreaks
Very little is known about how environmental changes such as increasing temperature affect
disease dynamics in the ocean, especially at large spatial scales. We asked whether the …
