TL;DR: It is shown that estimates of average dispersal behaviour and habitat capacities, objectively calculated from average runoff production, yield reliable predictions of large-scale spatial biodiversity patterns in riverine systems.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that the disappearance of the 0.7 structure at very low temperature signals the formation of a Kondo-like correlated spin state, including a zero-bias conductance peak that splits in a parallel field, scaling of conductance to a modified Kondo form, and consistency between peak width and the Kondo temperature.

TL;DR: Results from integrated analyses confirm that Pygoscelis adeliae (Adélie Penguins) are decreasing at almost all locations on the Antarctic Peninsula and unambiguously establish that P. antarctica (Chinstrap Penguins), thought to benefit from decreasing sea ice, are instead declining regionally.

TL;DR: Measurements of a tunable double quantum dot, operating in the quantum regime, with integrated local charge sensors are reported, demonstrating that local charge sensing can be used to accurately determine the interdot coupling in the absence of transport.

TL;DR: Protection of breeding habitat, linked to the designation of appropriately scaled marine reserves, including in the High Seas, will be critical for the future conservation of penguins and other ecosystem-based management methods must be developed to maintain marine biodiversity and ensure that ecosystem functioning is maintained across a variety of scales.
