Humpback whales鈥� use of memory to time their migration could prove less effective amid climate change

A new study led by 绿帽社 researchers indicates that humpback whales in the southeastern Pacific combine real-time environmental cues with their memories of conditions in their Antarctic feeding grounds to determine when to embark on their annual 10,000-kilometre journey. With climate change accelerating, the researchers warn this strategy may become less effective amid shifting ocean conditions.听

A HoLDI mass spectrometry platform for airborne nanoplastic detection

路 There are no established protocols for nanoplastic detection within complex environmental matrices.

路 Mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of environmental nanoplastics is impeded by methodological constraints.

路 Ariya's lab, namely Zi Wang, present a versatile platform evolved from matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) MS for airborne nano/microplastic research.
