Abstract. Ozone (O3) is an important secondary pollutant that impacts air quality and human health. Eastern Asia has high regional O3 background due to the numerous sources and increasing and rapid industrial growth, which also impacts the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA). However, the SMA has also been experiencing increasing O3 driven by decreasing NOx emissions, highlighting the role of the local in situ O3 production on the SMA. Here, comprehensive gas-phase measurements collected on the NASA DC-8 during the National Institute of Environmental Research (NIER)/NASA Korea–United States Air Quality (KORUS-AQ) study are used to constrain the instantaneous O3 production rate over the SMA. The observed NOx oxidized products support the importance of non-measured peroxy nitrates (PNs) in the O3 chemistry in the SMA, as they accounted for ∼49 % of the total PNs. Using the total measured PNs (ΣPNs) and alkyl and multifunctional nitrates (ΣANs), unmeasured volatile organic compound (VOC) reactivity (R(VOC)) is constrained and found to range from 1.4–2.1 s−1. Combining the observationally constrained R(VOC) with the other measurements on the DC-8, the instantaneous net O3 production rate, which is as high as ∼10 ppbv h−1, along with the important sinks of O3 and radical chemistry, is constrained. This analysis shows that ΣPNs play an important role in both the sinks of O3 and radical chemistry. Since ΣPNs are assumed to be in a steady state, the results here highlight the role that ΣPNs play in urban environments in altering the net O3 production, but ΣPNs can potentially lead to increased net O3 production downwind due to their short lifetime (∼1 h). The results provide guidance for future measurements to identify the missing R(VOCs) and ΣPN production.

Published: August 2024

Abstract. Accurate gas absorption models at millimetre and sub-millimetre wavelengths are required to make best use of observations from instruments on board the next generation of EUMETSAT polar-orbiting weather satellites, including the Ice Cloud Imager (ICI), which measures at frequencies up to 664 GHz. In this study, airborne observations of clear-sky scenes between 89 and 664 GHz are used to perform radiative closure calculations for both upward- and downward-looking viewing directions in order to evaluate two state-of-the-art absorption models, both of which are integrated into the Atmospheric Radiative Transfer Simulator (ARTS). Differences of 20 K are seen in some individual comparisons, with the largest discrepancies occurring where the brightness temperature is highly sensitive to the atmospheric water vapour profile. However, these differences are within the expected uncertainty due to the observed water vapour variability, highlighting the importance of understanding the spatial and temporal distribution of water vapour when performing such comparisons. The errors can be significantly reduced by averaging across multiple flights, which reduces the impact of uncertainties in individual atmospheric profiles. For upward-looking views, which have the greatest sensitivity to the absorption model, the mean differences between observed and simulated brightness temperatures are generally close to, or within, the estimated spectroscopic uncertainty. For downward-looking views, which more closely match the satellite viewing geometry, the mean differences were generally less than 1.5 K, with the exception of window channels at 89 and 157 GHz, which are significantly influenced by surface properties. These results suggest that both of the absorption models considered are sufficiently accurate for use with ICI.
Anthropogenic carbon storage and its decadal changes in the Atlantic between 1990–2020
Authors: Steinfeldt Reiner , Rhein Monika , Kieke Dagmar
Published: August 2024

Abstract. The Atlantic inventory of anthropogenic carbon (Cant) and its changes between 1990 and 2020 are investigated by applying the transit time distribution (TTD) method to anthropogenic tracer data. In contrast to previous TTD applications, here we take into account the admixture of old waters free of anthropogenic tracers. The greatest difference from other methods based on direct carbon observations is the higher Cant storage in the deep ocean. Estimations of the decadal Cant increase based on direct carbon observations yield in general a smaller share of Cant storage in the North Atlantic and a larger share in the South Atlantic compared to our results. Changes in oceanic circulation and/or ventilation have significant impacts on the Cant inventory on the regional scale. The enhanced upwelling of older water in the Southern Ocean and the variability in the convection depth in the Labrador Sea lead to deviations in the inferred Cant increase between 1990 and 2020 from the rate equivalent to a steady-state ocean. For the total Atlantic Cant inventory, however, decadal ventilation variability of individual water masses partially compensates for each other. In addition, its impact on the Cant storage is small due to the much higher flushing time for the whole Atlantic of the order of hundreds of years. The total Cant inventory increases from 43.0 ± 7.3 Pg C in 1990 to 68.2 ± 10.8  Pg C in 2020, almost in unison with the rising CO2 in the atmosphere. So far, ventilation changes have impacted the Cant concentrations only on the regional scale, especially in the subpolar North Atlantic and the Southern Ocean.

Abstract. Capturing the mechanisms leading to the local extirpation of a species in deep time is a challenge. Here, by combining stable oxygen and carbon isotopic analyses on benthic and planktonic foraminifera and the otoliths of pelagic and benthic fish species, we reveal the paleoceanographic regime shifts that took place in the eastern Mediterranean from 7.2 to 6.5 Ma, in the precursor phase to the Messinian salinity crisis, and discuss the fish response to these events. The stepwise restriction of the Mediterranean–Atlantic gateway impacted the metabolism of fishes in the Mediterranean, particularly those dwelling in the lower, deeper part of the water column. An important shift in the Mediterranean paleoceanographic conditions took place between 6.951 and 6.882 Ma, from predominantly temperature to salinity control, which was probably related to stratification of the water column. A regime shift at 6.814 Ma, due to changes in the influx, source and/or preservation of organic matter, led to pelagic–benthic decoupling of the fish fauna. At that time, the oxygen isotopic composition of benthic fish otoliths reflects higher salinity in the lower part of the water column that is accompanied by a rapid fluctuation in the carbon isotopic composition (a proxy for the metabolic rate), ultimately leading to the local extirpation of the benthic species. Overall, our results confirm that otolith stable oxygen and carbon isotope ratios are reliable proxies for paleoceanographic studies and, when combined with those of foraminifera, can reveal life history changes and migration patterns of teleost fishes in deep time.

Abstract. We present a simple approach to laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) U-Pb dating of carbonate minerals from isotopic image maps, made possible using a high repetition rate femtosecond laser ablation system. The isotopic ratio maps are built from 25-µm-height linear scans, at a minimal repetition rate of 100 Hz. The analysis of 238U, 232Th, 208Pb, 207Pb and 206Pb masses by a sector field ICP-MS is set to maximize the number of mass sweeps, and thus of pixels on the produced image maps (∼8 to 19 scans s-1). After normalization by sample standard bracketing using the Iolite 4 software, the isotopic image maps are discretized into squares. The squares correspond to virtual spots of chosen dimension, for which the mean and its uncertainty are calculated, allowing to plot corresponding concordia diagrams commonly used to obtain an absolute age. Because the ratios can vary strongly at the pixel scale, the values obtained from the virtual spots display higher uncertainties compared to static spots of similar size. However, their size, and thus the number of virtual spots can be easily adapted. A low size will result in higher uncertainty of individual spots, but their higher number and potentially larger spread along the isochron can result in a more precise age. Reliability of this approach is improved by using a mobile grid for the virtual spot dataset of a set size, returning numerous concordia allowing to select the more statistically robust result. One can also select from all the possible spot locations on the image map, those that will enable regression to be obtained with the best goodness of fit. We present examples of the virtual spot approach, for which in the most favorable cases (U > 1 ppm, 238U/206Pb >> 1, and highly variable U/Pb ratios) a valid age can be obtained within reasonable uncertainty (< 5–10 %) from maps as small as 100 µm x 100 µm, i.e. the size of a single spot in common in situ approaches. Although the method has been developed on carbonates, it should be applicable to other minerals suited to U-Pb geochronology.
Solar cycle impacts on North Atlantic climate

Published: August 2024

Abstract. The North Atlantic sector has been identified as a region where the 11-year solar cycle has small but non-negligible impacts on near-surface climate. Nonetheless, debate persists about the robustness of such impacts and the mechanisms that explain them. The limited length of historical records, together with the complexity of separating the solar cycle influence from other forcings and from internal variability explain, at least partially, the discrepancies in published results. This work explores the signatures of the 11-yr solar cycle over the North Atlantic in 20th Century reanalysis datasets, which provide longer reconstructions of climate by assimilating only long-record surface observations. The signatures are compared with those detected in long reconstructed observational datasets, modern reanalysis and previous studies. The results confirm previous studies and reveal a robust lagged boreal winter response in mean sea level pressure north of the Azores, peaking 2–3 years after solar maxima. The response is however non-stationary, varying both within the season and on multi-decadal scales. An assessment of the impacts on sub-surface ocean temperatures using an ocean reanalysis dataset supports the hypothesis that thermal inertia of the ocean could explain the lag in the response and amplification of the response. A re-emergence of warm anomalies in the years following solar maxima is observed over the central North Atlantic and is consistent with the observed solar response in sea level pressure north of the Azores.

Abstract. Recent research has suggested that photosensitized oxidation can be an effective pathway for the oxidation of SO2 based on a limited number of model photosensitizers. However, there is a notable dearth of research conducted on complex chemical systems, impeding a comprehensive understanding of sulfate formation in photosensitization. This work studied sulfate formation by mixing real biomass burning (BB) extracts and NaCl, mimicking internal mixtures of BB and sea-salt particles. Significant enhancement of sulfate formation was observed for BB-NaCl particles compared to incense burning (IS)-NaCl particles. For fresh particles, the sulfate formation rate followed the trend of corn straw (CS)-NaCl>rice straw (RS)-NaCl>wheat straw (WS)-NaCl>IS-NaCl. Aged particles were produced by irradiating the filters directly with UV lights. Aged particles showed changes in sulfate formation rates, with the highest enhancement by RS-NaCl due to interactions between RS and NaCl. Model experiments spiked with nitrogen-containing organic compounds (NOCs), such as pyrazine (CHN) and 4-nitrocatechol (CHON), revealed positive effects of chloride in the PS-CHON system and negative effects in the PS-CHN system. Our work suggests that BB reaching or near coastal areas could affect sulfate formation via photosensitizer-mediated reactions, potentially exacerbating air quality concerns.
Physics-motivated cell-octree adaptive mesh refinement in the Vlasiator 5.3 global hybrid-Vlasov code
Authors: Kotipalo Leo , Battarbee Markus , Pfau-Kempf Yann , Palmroth Minna
Published: August 2024

Abstract. Automatically adaptive grid resolution is a common way of improving simulation accuracy while keeping computational efficiency at a manageable level. In space physics, adaptive grid strategies are especially useful as simulation volumes are extreme, while the most accurate physical description is based on electron dynamics and hence requires very small grid cells and time steps. Therefore, many past global simulations encompassing, for example, near-Earth space have made tradeoffs in terms of the physical description and laws of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) used that require less accurate grid resolutions. Recently, using supercomputers, it has become possible to model the near-Earth space domain with an ion-kinetic hybrid scheme going beyond MHD-based fluid dynamics. These simulations, however, must develop a new adaptive mesh strategy beyond what is used in MHD simulations. We developed an automatically adaptive grid refinement strategy for ion-kinetic hybrid-Vlasov schemes, and we implemented it within the Vlasiator global solar wind–magnetosphere–ionosphere simulation. This method automatically adapts the resolution of the Vlasiator grid using two indices: one formed as a maximum of dimensionless gradients measuring the rate of spatial change in selected variables and the other derived from the ratio of the current density to the magnetic field density perpendicular to the current. Both these indices can be tuned independently to reach a desired level of refinement and computational load. We test the indices independently and compare the results to a control run using static refinement. The results show that adaptive refinement highlights relevant regions of the simulation domain and keeps the computational effort at a manageable level. We find that the refinement shows some overhead in the rate of cells solved per second. This overhead can be large compared to the control run without adaptive refinement, possibly due to resource utilization, grid complexity, and issues in load balancing. These issues lay out a development roadmap for future optimizations.
Exploring the sensitivity of extreme event attribution of two recent extreme weather events in Sweden using long-running meteorological observations
Authors: Holmgren Erik , Kjellström Erik
Published: August 2024

Abstract. Despite a growing interest in extreme event attribution, attributing individual weather events remains difficult and uncertain. We have explored extreme event attribution by comparing the method for probabilistic extreme event attribution employed at World Weather Attribution (https://www.worldweatherattribution.org, last access: 22 August 2024) (WWA method) to an approach solely using pre-industrial and current observations (PI method), utilising the extensive and long-running network of meteorological observations available in Sweden. With the long observational records, the PI method is used to calculate the change in probability for two recent extreme events in Sweden without relying on the correlation to the global mean surface temperature (GMST). Our results indicate that the two methods generally agree for an event based on daily maximum temperatures. However, the WWA method results in a weaker indication of attribution compared to the PI method, for which 12 out of 15 stations indicate a stronger attribution than found by the WWA method. On the other hand, for a recent extreme precipitation event, the WWA method results in a stronger indication of attribution compared to the PI method. For this event, only 2 out of 10 stations assessed in the PI method exhibited results similar to the WWA method. Based on the results, we conclude that at least one out of every two of heat waves similar to the summer of 2018 can be attributed to climate change. For the extreme precipitation event in Gävle in 2021, the large variations within and between the two methods make it difficult to draw any conclusions regarding the attribution of the event.

Abstract. Performing stimulation experiments at approximately 1 km depth in the Bedretto Underground Laboratory for Geosciences and Geoenergies necessitates identifying and characterizing the target fault zone for on-fault monitoring of induced fault slip and seismicity, which presents a challenge when attempting to understand seismogenic processes. We discuss the multidisciplinary approach for selecting the target fault zone for experiments planned within the Fault Activation and Earthquake Ruptures (FEAR) project, for which the aim is to induce the fault slip and seismicity for an earthquake magnitude of up to 1.0 while enhancing the monitoring and control of fluid-injection experiments. Structural geological mapping, remote sensing, exploration drilling and borehole logging, ground-penetration radar, and laboratory investigations were employed to identify and characterize the target fault – a ductile–brittle shear zone several meters wide with an intensely fractured volume spanning over 100 m. Its orientation in the in situ stress field favors reactivation in normal to strike-slip regimes. Laboratory tests showed slight velocity strengthening of the fault gouge. The fault's architecture, typical for crystalline environments, poses challenges for fluid flow, necessitating detailed hydraulic and stress characterization before each of the FEAR experiments. This multidisciplinary approach was crucial for managing rock volume heterogeneity and understanding implications for the dense monitoring network. Successfully identifying the fault sets the stage for seismic activation experiments commencing in spring 2024.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease that can cause various serious complications, including diabetic foot ulcers (DFU), which often require intensive treatment and can result in amputation. The global prevalence of DFU reaches 6.3%, with a significant impact on sufferers' quality of life. This community service program aims to improve nurses' skills in caring for diabetic wounds in Kediri City through special training.The methods used in this program include qualitative and quantitative approaches to collect comprehensive data regarding nurses' knowledge and skills before and after training. This program is implemented in several stages: initial survey to identify training needs, development of comprehensive training materials, implementation of theory and practical sessions, as well as program evaluation through pre- and post-training assessments and participant satisfaction surveys.The results show that this training was successful in increasing nurses' knowledge and skills significantly. This increase is manifested in knowledge of how to prevent complications and amputations in DFU patients, as well as high participant satisfaction with the training program. However, obstacles such as limited medical equipment and materials as well as management support in health services still need to be overcome to ensure the continuity and effectiveness of the program in the future.In conclusion, ongoing training is very important to improve the quality of diabetic wound care by nurses, which will ultimately have a positive impact on the outcomes of diabetes patient care.

Fransızcada deyimler, dilin anlatım gücünü, zenginliğini ve güzelliğini ortaya koyan klişeleşmiş özgün sözlerdir. Fransız dilinde gündelik iletişimde çok önemli bir yeri olan deyimlerin çoğunluğu, çok ileri düzeyde Fransızca bilen Türkler tarafından bile bilinmemektedir. Zira, hala deyim öğretimi gerekli öğretim tekniklerinden yoksundur. Öte yandan, literatür taramasında, önemli yabancı ve Türk yazarlara ait çalışmalar incelenmiştir. Bu kapsamda, deyim öğretiminde öğrencinin merkeze alındığı güncel öğretim yöntemleri ile başarılı sonuçlar alındığı ve çoğunlukla, görsel ve videolu öğretim metodunun deyimlerin anlaşılmasını ve akılda kalıcılığı geliştirdiği tespit edilmiştir. Bu çerçevede hazırlanan bu çalışmada, Fransızca deyimlerin öğretiminde kullanılan düz anlatım, kısa hikayeler ve görsellere dayalı öğretim yöntemlerinin öğrencilerin başarısında ne ölçüde etkisi olduğu ve en iyi öğretim yönteminin hangisinin olduğunun araştırılarak ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Bu maksatla, Marmara Üniversitesi Fransızca Mütercim ve Tercümanlık Ana Bilim Dalında 2023-2024 Eğitim-Öğretim Yılında eğitim gören 26 öğrencinin katılımıyla nicel araştırma yöntemi kullanılarak bir araştırma yapılmıştır.

Por sobre una lucha de clases en el campo material del “tener”, transcurre actualmente el envite protagonizado por un inédito conglomerado de sujetos revolucionarios, reemplazantes del proletariado, tendente a imponer a la entera comunidad un nuevo modo de “ser”, anulatorio del imaginario colectivo basado en la cosmovisión greco-cristiana que aún, exangüe, late en la sociedad.
Al hilo de cierta ideología que transita hacia un nuevo formato del sempiterno sueño ácrata: “Ni Dios, ni Patria, ni Rey”, y con el auxilio de un subdiscurso que les ha permitido obtener la hegemonía en el ámbito cultural, buscan consolidarla irrevocablemente a través de una nueva Constitución que patrocine e impulse su “revolución legal”.
Hacia una correcta interpretación del artículo 151 del Estatuto Administrativo
Authors: Silva Schultz Agustín
Published: August 2024

Analizaremos la interpretación que la Corte Suprema le da al artículo 151 del Estatuto Administrativo, sobre la declaración de vacancia de un empleo público por salud incompatible, tras examinar las sentencias dictadas por ella sobre la materia durante el año 2022. Luego, estudiamos detenidamente una interpretación alternativa, que estimamos es la correcta y detallamos los defectos que, a nuestro juicio, tiene el criterio que actualmente aplica.
Análisis de jurisprudencia relativa al caso del asbesto en Chile y la vulneración de derechos fundamentales de las víctimas
Authors: Suárez Donaire Leticia , Malebrán Guerra Edgar
Published: August 2024

El asbesto ha sido identificado como un material causante de diversos daños tanto en la salud humana como en el ambiente, por lo cual, el derecho nacional e internacional ha prohibido su utilización, sin perjuicio de lo cual en Chile se ha seguido utilizando bajo ciertas excepciones, con los consecuentes daños que de ello se derivan, lo que ha motivado la interposición de numerosas demandas de indemnización de perjuicios, muchas de las cuales han concluido por la vía de conciliación y transacción. Frente a esto, el presente trabajo invita a reflexionar sobre la disponibilidad de la indemnización por vulneración de los derechos fundamentales, y la eficacia de dejar su salvaguarda únicamente a los tribunales de justicia.
Organismos autónomos constitucionales
Authors: Ortiz Ortega Consuelo
Published: August 2024

El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo exponer y analizar algunas mate­rias relativas a los organismos autónomos constitucionales. En concreto, se revisarán las principales definiciones elaboradas por la doctrina y la jurisprudencia constitucional con la finalidad de desentrañar el núcleo esencial de dicha autonomía, los fundamentos argüidos para consagrar organismos autónomos constitucionales y el diseño regulatorio de estos en el ordenamiento jurídico chileno. Finalmente, se analizará la crítica efectuada por un sector de la doctrina que postula que, en el sistema na­cional, los organismos autónomos constitucionales –en particular el Banco Central y el Tribunal Constitucional– adolecen de legitimidad por ser custodios de un orden ideológico impuesto por el constituyente de 1980.

Research on the Application of Digital Twin Technology in Water-saving Irrigation for Hillside Orchards: Achieving Precision Management Based on UAV 3D Modeling and Intelligent Algorithms
Authors: Te Xu
Published: August 2024

This paper aims to investigate the application of digital twin reality models in water-saving irrigation for hillside orchards. By constructing digital twin models of orch ards, precision and intelligent management of irrigation systems are achieved. Taking a kiwifruit orchard in the Karst mountainous region of Guizhou as the research object, this study utilizes unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and 3D modeling to construct a site model of the study area. By integrating precipitation data over the past five years and the water storage patterns during the kiwifruit growth cycle, the irrigation strategies of the target orchard are analyzed. On this basis, the construction methods, application process, and effect evaluation of digital twin reality models in water-saving irrigation for hillside orchards are elaborated . Experimental results indicate that digital twin reality models can significantly enhance the precision and efficiency of orchard irrigation, effectively improving water use efficiency of fruit trees without compromising photosynthetic efficiency, thereby providing robust support for the sustainable development of hillside orchards.
Systematic review and meta-analysis of long term outcomes and innovations in Total Knee Arthroplasty: KINEMATIC, PERSONALIZED KNEE vs. CONVENTIONAL
Authors: Alhifzi Zaki
Published: August 2024

Background

Kinematic alignment is an emerging approach for total knee arthroplasty, with the aim to restore patient’s individual pre-arthritic joint kinematics. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we compared the kinematic alignment with the conventional mechanical alignment for total knee arthroplasty.

Methods

We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus on June 2, 2024. We screened the retrieved studies for eligibility. Then extracted the data from the included studies, and then pooled the data as mean difference (MD) or odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval using Review Manager Software (ver. 3.5).

Results

There was no significant difference between KA and MA in the different reported scores: combined KSS score at 6 months (P = 0.23) and 1 years (P = 0.60), KSS Patient satisfaction (P = 0.33), KSS function score (P = 0.07), Oxford score at 6 months (P = 0.45) and 2 years (P = 0.41), KOOS score (P = 0.26). Moreover, there was statistically significant difference in range of motion for flexion and extension at 1 and 2 years, incision length, the length of hospital stay, or the duration of surgery.

Conclusion

Although kinematic alignment showed slightly better clinical outcomes than mechanical alignment, the difference between the two techniques is not statistically significant.
Dental Professionals' Insight, Outlook, and Vigilance on Needle Stick and Sharp Encounters — A Comprehensive Cross-sectional Nationwide Survey
Authors: Shinde Omkar , Trivedi Shivangi , Atram Jatin , Pawar Ajinkya M
Published: August 2024

Background

Needle stick and sharps injuries (NSSI) represent grave risks to the health and safety of healthcare professionals in their places of employment. Healthcare workers are particularly vulnerable to these injuries, which increase their risk of spreading bloodborne illnesses by exposing them to bodily fluids like blood and urine. The main motive of this study was to investigate dental practitioners’ cognizance, mindsets and comprehension of needle-stick and sharp injuries (NSSI), a population at exceptionally high risk for acquiring illnesses transmitted by blood.

Materials and Methods

A cross-sectional survey technique was used in this study, with an organized and pretested interview-based questionnaire. With 320 participants, most of whom were Indian nationals, there was a clear gender difference in the research favouring women. Among them, nearly all participants comprehended that needle-stick and sharps injuries (NSSI) may transmit infections, specifically naming HIV, Hepatitis B, and other pathogens. Of them, 85.9% were aware of the primary measures for NSSI.

Results

The majority of participants stated that frequent patient care procedures, including needle manipulation, frequently result in NSSI. The majority selected many preventative techniques (72.8%), with the ”one-hand method of recapping” being a popular choice. In terms of attitudes, a sizable segment conveyed that they were attempting to keep their cool, that they were afraid of getting sick, and that they thought NSSI could be avoided. In terms of awareness, a sizable majority recognized the significance of cleaning with soap and water, avoiding puncturing wounds to stop bleeding and avoiding sticking fingers in the mouth. With 84.1% indicating awareness, post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) awareness was moderate. Most participants felt that getting vaccinated against hepatitis B is an effective preventive measure, agreed that seeing a medical practitioner in the event of NSSI, and were aware that there was no vaccine against hepatitis C. Sources were mentioned to acquire information, including journal articles, training manuals, CME seminars, and CDC guidelines.

Conclusion

The study highlighted variables contributing to NSSI non-reporting and identified critical areas for lowering preventable illnesses. It emphasizes the importance of giving dental practitioners thorough and prompt training in infection control procedures and improved teaching on NSSI throughout undergraduate studies.
Behavioral traits of mangrove mosquitofish (Gambusia rhizophorae) in their historic and recently expanded range in South Florida
Authors: Leeger Rose , Hoch J Matthew
Published: August 2024

The mangrove mosquitofish (Gambusia rhizophorae) is found in brackish ecosystems in southeast Florida (USA) and Cuba. Historical range distribution in Florida has found these fish solely in the Florida Keys and parts of Biscayne Bay. This research provides an update to the northern range limit for mangrove mosquitofish. We tested whether “personality” differed between fish in the historic and expanded portions of the range. Tests of boldness showed differences in risk tolerance and exploration between sexes, but not between fish from the historic range and expanded range. We conclude that although their range has shifted northward, bolder fish do not dominate the expansion front.
