Distribution and Species Richness of Benthic Polychaeta and Sipuncula in the Northwestern Pacific by Katharina Kohlenbach, Henry Knauber, Angelika Brandt, Hanieh Saeedi

“…Half of the distribution records were reported at a species level. The area around the island of Hainan and South Korea showed the highest alpha species richness (the number of species per 700,000 km² hexagon cell), yet the estimated species richness (ES50) indicated that there might be many unknown, unsampled, or non-digitized species throughout the whole NWP. …”

Distribution and Characterization of Deep Rhodolith Beds off the Campania coast (SW Italy, Mediterranean Sea) by Francesco Rendina, Sara Kaleb, Annalisa Caragnano, Federica Ferrigno, Luca Appolloni, Luigia Donnarumma, Giovanni Fulvio Russo, Roberto Sandulli, Valentina Roviello, Annalisa Falace

“…Remotely operated vehicles (ROV) investigations allowed the description of several RBs, and the discovery of a RB with rhodolith cover >65% offshore the Capri Island. Only two sites (Secchitiello and Punta Campanella) showed a very low mean cover of live rhodoliths (<10%); hence, not being classifiable as RBs. …”

Shallow Depth, Substantial Change: Fluid-Metasomatism Causes Major Compositional Modifications of Subducted Volcanics (Mariana Forearc) by Elmar Albers, John W. Shervais, Christian T. Hansen, Yuji Ichiyama, Patricia Fryer

“…New insights are provided by ocean island basalt (OIB) clasts from the Mariana forearc that experienced subduction to up to ∼25–30 km depth and up to blueschist-facies metamorphism; thereafter, the clasts were recycled to the forearc seafloor via serpentinite mud volcanism. …”

Comparing Object-Based and Pixel-Based Methods for Local Climate Zones Mapping with Multi-Source Data by Ziyun Yan, Lei Ma, Weiqiang He, Liang Zhou, Heng Lu, Gang Liu, Guoan Huang

“…The local climate zones (LCZs) system, a standard framework characterizing urban form and environment, effectively promotes urban remote sensing research, especially urban heat island (UHI) research. However, whether mapping with objects is more advantageous than with pixels in LCZ mapping remains uncertain. …”

Physicochemical Characteristics of Commercially Available Greek Yoghurts by Eleni C. Pappa, Efthymia Kondyli, Athanasios C. Pappas, Panagiota Kyriakaki, Evangelos Zoidis, Lida Papalamprou, Agori Karageorgou, Panagiotis Simitzis, Michael Goliomytis, Eleni Tsiplakou, Constantinos A. Georgiou

“…A significant effect of species origin was determined for yoghurt physicochemical attributes, whereas geographical origin, mainland or island, affected yoghurt acidity only. Discriminant analysis revealed MDA, pH, acidity, syneresis, fat, and protein content and color lightness and redness as the traits responsible for the discrimination of yoghurts into milk-type classes, whereas fat, protein, and ash content, pH, and syneresis attributes were responsible for the discrimination into fat content classes. …”

A Pilot Study on Zinc Isotopic Compositions in Shallow‐Water Coral Skeletons by Hangfang Xiao, Wenfeng Deng, Gangjian Wei, Jiubin Chen, Xinqing Zheng, Tuo Shi, Xuefei Chen, Chenying Wang, Xi Liu, Ti Zeng

“…In this study, we first reported the δ66Zn in shallow‐water coral skeletons by investigating with monthly resolution δ66Zn values in the skeleton of a modern Porites coral 10AR2 from the Great Barrier Reef of Australia, and the bulk skeletal δ66Zn values of several coral species from the Luhuitou Reef of Hainan Island in the northern South China Sea. Correlations between δ66Zn and other climate and environmental proxies (Sr/Ca, δ18O, and δ13C) and instrumental environmental variables (sea surface temperature, river runoff, and chlorophyll a) are poor, suggesting that the effects of external environmental changes on monthly variations in δ66Zn in coral skeletons are not significant. …”
