    Description: On 12 August 2021, a 〉220 s lasting complex earthquake with M〈sub〉w〈/sub〉 〉 8.2 hit the South Sandwich Trench. Due to its remote location and short interevent times, reported earthquake parameters varied significantly between different international agencies. We studied the complex rupture by combining different seismic source characterization techniques sensitive to different frequency ranges based on teleseismic broadband recordings from 0.001 to 2 Hz, including point and finite fault inversions and the back‐projection of high‐frequency signals. We also determined moment tensor solutions for 88 aftershocks. The rupture initiated simultaneously with a rupture equivalent to a M〈sub〉w〈/sub〉 7.6 thrust earthquake in the deep part of the seismogenic zone in the central subduction interface and a shallow megathrust rupture, which propagated unilaterally to the south with a very slow rupture velocity of 1.2 km/s and varying strike following the curvature of the trench. The slow rupture covered nearly two‐thirds of the entire subduction zone length, and with M〈sub〉w〈/sub〉 8.2 released the bulk of the total moment of the whole earthquake. Tsunami modeling indicates the inferred shallow rupture can explain the tsunami records. The southern segment of the shallow rupture overlaps with another activation of the deeper part of the megathrust equivalent to M〈sub〉w〈/sub〉 7.6. The aftershock distribution confirms the extent and curvature of the rupture. Some mechanisms are consistent with the mainshocks, but many indicate also activation of secondary faults. Rupture velocities and radiated frequencies varied strongly between different stages of the rupture, which might explain the variability of published source parameters.
    Description: Plain Language Summary: The earthquake of 12 August 2021 along the deep‐sea trench of the South Sandwich Islands in the South Atlantic reached a magnitude of 8.2 and triggered a tsunami. The automatic earthquake parameter determination of different agencies showed very different results shortly after the earthquake and partially underestimated the tsunami potential of the earthquake. A possible reason was the complex rupture process and that the tsunami was generated by a long and shallow slow slip rupture sandwiched between more conventional fast slip subevents at its northern and southern ends. In addition, the fault surface, which extended over 450 km, was highly curved striking 150°–220°. We investigated the different components of the seismic wavefields in different frequency ranges and with different methods. The analysis shows how even complex earthquakes can be deciphered by combining analyzing methods. The comparison with aftershocks and the triggered tsunami waves confirms our model that explains the South Sandwich rupture by four subevents in the plate boundary along the curved deep‐sea trench. Here, the depth, rupture velocities, and slip on each segment of the rupture vary considerably. The method can also be applied to other megathrust earthquakes and help to further improve tsunami warnings in the future.
    Description: Key Points: A combination of multiple approaches, inversion setups, and frequency ranges deciphered the complex earthquake of 2021 South Sandwich. The rupture consisted of four subevents with the largest occurring as a shallow slow rupture parallel to the South Sandwich Trench. Forward modeling proves that the large, shallow thrust subevent caused the recorded tsunami.

    Description: The Macapule Lagoon (25º 21' and 25º 24' N; 108º 30' and 108º 45' W) is part of the San Ignacio-Navachiste-Macapule lagoon system, located in the southern region of the Gulf of California (Fig. 1). In 2000, it has been declared an "Area of Reserve and Refuge for Migratory Birds and Wildlife – Gulf of California Islands". This lagoon is very productive due to its location in the Gulf of California (Lluch-Cota et al. 2007). Water temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, and salinity were measured in situ with an YSI (55-12FT) probe and a portable refractometer (RHS-10ATC). Nutrient (nitrate, ammonium, and phosphate) concentrations were determined in the laboratory during each sampling month using a photometer (YSI, 9500).

    Description: In December 2013, June and December 2014, and July 2015, a total of 123 specimens of L. argentiventris were captured in the Macapule Lagoon with gillnets of 50 mm mesh size. The total length and weight of each specimen were recorded. The liver, stomach, and gutted weight were weighed to the nearest gram (g) and the data used to calculate the following morpho-physiological indices: 1) the Fulton's condition factor (CF) using the equation: CF = W~t~/L~t~3 * 100, where W~t~ = total weight and L~t~ = total length; 2) the hepatosomatic index (HSI) using the equation: HSI = W~h~/W~t~*100, where W~h~ = liver weight and W~t~ = total weight of the individual; and 3) the gastric repletion index (GRI) using the equation GRI = W~s~/W~t~ *100, where W~s~ = stomach weight and W~t~ = total weight. Parameters of the length-weight relationship of L. argentiventris were estimated using the equation: W = aL^b^, where W = weight of the fish (g), L = total length (cm), a = y-intercept or the initial growth coefficient, b = slope or the growth coefficient. Blood samples of 1±0.1 mL were extracted (only of fish larger than 10 cm total length) by caudal puncture with a disposable plastic syringe containing 0.5 mL of heparinized solution (Sigma-Aldrich). The blood samples were centrifuged at 9,500 g at 4ºC during 10 minutes to separate the blood cells from the plasma. Total protein concentrations were determined following Bradford's method (1976), which is based on the reaction of the amino groups with the dye Coomassie Blue G-250. Triglycerides, glucose, and cholesterol concentrations were determined with colorimetric commercial kits Randox, U.K (Apún-Molina et al., 2015);. Absorbance was determined with a microplate reader (Multiskan Go, Thermo Scientific UV, United States) and concentrations were calculated from a standard solution of substrates.

    Description: High-throughput metabolic phenotyping is a challenge, but it provides an alternative and comprehensive access to the rapid and accurate characterization of plants. In addition to the technical issues of obtaining quantitative data of plenty of metabolic traits from numerous samples, a suitable data processing and statistical evaluation strategy must be developed. We present a simple, robust and highly scalable strategy for the comparison of multiple chemical profiles from coffee and tea leaf extracts, based on direct-injection electrospray mass spectrometry (DIESI-MS) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA). More than 3500 individual Coffea canephora and Coffea arabica trees from experimental fields in Mexico were sampled and processed using this method. Our strategy permits the classification of trees according to their metabolic fingerprints and the screening for families with desired characteristics, such as extraordinarily high or low caffeine content in their leaves.

    Description: Relict sand wedges are ubiquitous in southern Patagonia. At six sites we conducted detailed investigations of stratigraphy, soils, and wedge frequency and characteristics. Some sections contain four or more buried horizons with casts. The cryogenic features are dominantly relict sand wedges with an average depth, maximum apparent width, minimum apparent width, and H/W of 78, 39, 3.8, and 2.9 cm, respectively. The host materials are fine-textured (silt loam, silty clay loam, clay loam) till and the infillings are aeolian sand. The soils are primarily Calciargidic Argixerolls that bear a legacy of climate change. Whereas the sand wedges formed during very cold (-4 to -8 °C or colder) and dry (ca. 〈=100 mm precipitation/yr) glacial periods, petrocalcic horizons from calcium carbonate contributed by dustfall formed during warmer (7 °C or warmer) and moister (〉= 250 mm/yr) interglacial periods. The paleo-argillic (Bt) horizons reflect unusually moist interglacial events where the mean annual precipitation may have been 400 mm/yr. Permafrost was nearly continuous in southern Patagonia during the Illinoian glacial stage (ca. 200 ka), the early to mid-Pleistocene (ca. 800-500 ka), and on two occasions during the early Pleistocene (ca. 1.0-1.1 Ma).

    Description: Ocean Acidification (OA) has become one of the most studied global stressors in marine science during the last fifteen years. Despite the variety of studies on the biological effects of OA with marine commercial species, estimations of these impacts over consumers' preferences have not been studied in detail, compromising our ability to undertake an assessment of market and economic impacts resulting from OA at local scales. Here, we use a novel and interdisciplinary approach to fill this gap. We experimentally test the impact of OA on commercially relevant physical and nutritional attributes of mussels, and then we use economic discrete choice models to assess the marginal effects of these impacts over consumers' preferences and wellbeing. Results showed that attributes, which were significantly affected by OA, are also those preferred by consumers. Consumers are willing to pay on average 52% less for mussels with evidences of OA and are willing to increase the price they pay to avoid negative changes in attributes due to OA. The interdisciplinary approach developed here, complements research conducted on OA by effectively informing how OA economic impacts can be analyzed under the lens of marginal changes in market price and consumer' welfare. Thereby, linking global phenomena to consumers' wellbeing, and shifting the focus of OA impacts to assess the effects of local vulnerabilities in a wider context of people and businesses.

    Description: This paper presents a novel fuzzy inference model based on artificial hydrocarbon networks, a computational algorithm for modeling problems based on chemical hydrocarbon compounds. In particular, the proposed fuzzy-molecular inference model (FIM-model) uses molecular units of information to partition the output space in the defuzzification step. Moreover, these molecules are linguistic units that can be partially understandable due to the organized structure of the topology and metadata parameters involved in artificial hydrocarbon networks. In addition, a position controller for a direct current (DC) motor was implemented using the proposed FIM-model in type-1 and type-2 fuzzy inference systems. Experimental results demonstrate that the fuzzy-molecular inference model can be applied as an alternative of type-2 Mamdani’s fuzzy control systems because the set of molecular units can deal with dynamic uncertainties mostly present in real-world control applications.

    Description: ARGONAUTE1 (AGO1) encodes a key component of the complexes mediating microRNA (miRNA) function in Arabidopsis. To study the regulation, action and interactions of AGO1, we conducted a genetic screen to identify second-site mutations modifying the morphological phenotype of ago1-52, a partial loss-of-function allele of AGO1. Unlike null ago1 mutations, the hypomorphic ago1-52 allele does not cause lethality or sterility; however, ago1-52 does produce a morphological phenotype clearly distinct from wild type. In our screen for modifiers of ago1-52, we identified suppressor mutations that partially restore wild-type morphology in the ago1-52 background and we termed these mas (morphology of argonaute1-52 suppressed). We focused on 23 of these putative suppressors. Linkage analysis of the mas mutations together with sequencing of the AGO1 gene in genomic DNA and cDNA from ago1-52 mas plants indicated that 22 of the mas lines contain extragenic suppressors, and one contains an intragenic suppressor that affects splicing of ago1-52. In the presence of the wild-type allele of AGO1, most of the mas mutations cause a mild or no mutant phenotype on their own, indicating that the ago1-52 mutant may provide a sensitized background for examining the interactions of AGO1.
