An interplay between plasticity and parental phenotype determines impacts of ocean acidification on a reef fish

Biological responses to ocean acidification will depend on variation in tolerance and phenotypic plasticity over different timescales. This study of the spiny damselfish demonstrates the importance of parental variation and transgenerational effects in the response of fish to ocean acidification.

Across 24 countries, Hoogeveen et al. found that gobbledegook coming from a scientist was considered more credible than when coming from a spiritual guru. This ‘Einstein effect’ was less pronounced for religious individuals.

On the electrocardiogram, the PR interval reflects conduction from the atria to ventricles and also serves as risk indicator of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Here, the authors perform genome-wide meta-analyses for PR interval in multiple ancestries and identify 141 previously unreported genetic loci.

Addressing poaching in marine protected areas through voluntary surveillance and enforcement

Poaching undermines the effectiveness of marine protected areas, where enforcement capacity is limited. In this study, fishers adjacent to MPAs were surveyed, and it was found that about half had observed poaching, but that most do not react so as to avoid conflict, or because they feel that this is either not their responsibility or that poaching is a survival strategy.

Maternal pluripotency factors initiate extensive chromatin remodelling to predefine first response to inductive signals

Embryonic development produces different cell types in response to a small number of inductive signals. Here, the authors characterise how maternal factors modify chromatin to specify initial competence in Xenopus tropicalis, finding that the pioneering activity of the pluripotency factors Pou5f3 and Sox3 establishes competence for germ layer formation by remodelling chromatin before the onset of signalling.
