To address this, we developed a novel, integrative algorithm for rapid and automated cardiac data processing. This algorithm primarily employs autocorrelation for time series analysis to identify recurrent heartbeats and compute heart rates from their periods. A genetic algorithm framework was used to implement such an autocorrelative analysis to filter out noise and extract meaningful signals, maximizing data utilization. A tracking index is also incorporated to reference previous timepoints and reduce errors associated with complex waveforms. To evaluate its performance, we compared the algorithm estimates to manually obtained heart rates of 33 individuals of marine invertebrates (from nine species of gastropods, bivalves, and crustaceans). The results showed that these features collectively improve data utilization (mean percentage count &gt; 90%) and accuracy (mean absolute percentage error = 3%). By avoiding reliance on any predetermined characteristics, this algorithm can not only accommodate case-by-case variability and thus be applicable to diverse taxa, but also potentially extend to analyze periodicity in other biological time series data such as valvometry, acoustics and movement patterns. As an open-source tool, this algorithm encourages collaborative efforts and further developments that refine and expand its applications, thereby enhancing our capabilities in physiological monitoring and analyses.</p>","PeriodicalId":18145,"journal":{"name":"Limnology and Oceanography: Methods","volume":"24 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/lom3.70055","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148667540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For highly mobile marine species, these observations typically rely on high effort monitoring programs. Tracking enough individuals to understand trends in movement behavior is not always logistically feasible, and animals are less likely to be observed in migratory or transitional habitats. To optimize observation data we built a Brownian bridge movement model to generate spatially and temporally explicit space use estimations of individuals along tracks created from intermittent sightings of North Atlantic right whales from 1980 to 2022. Right whales can be identified by unique callosities and markings, providing a noninvasive opportunity to link sightings to individual movement. This model generated location probability estimates of medium- and large-scale movements in biologically plausible habitats. A total of 351,214 d of occurrence distributions were calculated from 67,840 sightings attributed to 806 individuals, representing more than a five-fold increase in individual spatial information. From 1980 to 2022, the model generated space use estimates for at least one whale on 75.7% of days, compared to the underlying visual sightings data, which only provided observations on 38.7% of days. Model outputs compared to tracks of tagged whales demonstrated proficiency estimating space use across regions. The occurrence distributions produced depict known changes in seasonal and decadal space use and estimate transitional space use where observations are sparse. These methods improve spatial distribution predictions in intermittently observed animals and expand the utility of stationary sightings without constraining predictions to historical relationships with the environment.</p>","PeriodicalId":18145,"journal":{"name":"Limnology and Oceanography: Methods","volume":"24 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/lom3.70049","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148373628","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Closed floating chambers are widely used to measure carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) and methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) fluxes at the water–air interface, yet large uncertainties persist due to subjective processing of chamber time series. In particular, the treatment of nonlinear patterns and abrupt events such as ebullition often relies on expert judgment, which may strongly influence flux estimates. We present the first quantitative assessment of bias arising from expert subjectivity in the processing of floating chamber measurements. Seventeen researchers, all of whom participated in field sampling, independently evaluated a common dataset of 794 incubations from 36 European coastal wetlands. Each expert visually selected valid data segments and flagged abnormal time series prior to flux calculation. In total, 2679 manual inspections were compared with fully automated flux estimates based on untrimmed time series. Experts showed substantial variability in flagging abnormal measurements and handling nonlinear or irregular concentration patterns. While flux variability was generally low for most CO<sub>2</sub> and CH<sub>4</sub> incubations, disagreements exceeded 100% for curved or temporally complex time series. For CH<sub>4</sub>, ebullition was a major source of divergence, but marked variability also occurred when ebullition contributed only marginally to total fluxes. This methodological experiment demonstrates that expert judgment introduces significant, previously unquantified uncertainty into aquatic GHG flux estimates.

Currently, DBC in DOM is quantified by oxidation with nitric acid to produce benzene polycarboxylic acids (BPCAs) and subsequently measured by ion-pair reverse-phase liquid (IP-RP) chromatography with photodiode array (PDA) detection. This popular method relies solely on retention times and light absorbance for analyte identification and quantitation, leading to potential errors if co-eluting and light absorbing non-BPCA compounds are present. Moreover, this method is incompatible with mass spectrometry (MS) detection due to its mobile phase composition. To address these limitations, our study evaluated an alternative MS-compatible quantification method that can be used to corroborate DBC values determined by IP-RP. This alternative method separates the target analytes using multi-mode ion exchange-reverse phase columns that elute the necessary BPCAs with MS-friendly mobile phases. We analyzed various DOM samples from different environments. Detection was performed using high-performance liquid chromatograph with both a PDA and a single quadrupole electrospray ionization mass spectrometer detector arranged in series. This MS-friendly method enabled us to identify BPCA with higher confidence relative to methods that rely solely on retention times and PDA light absorbance, while also introducing the potential for superior limits of detection relative to current methods in future studies utilizing higher sensitivity tandem MS instruments.</p>","PeriodicalId":18145,"journal":{"name":"Limnology and Oceanography: Methods","volume":"24 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148373368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To maximize the reported spectral range while delivering the highest-quality measurements across ultraviolet–visible wavelengths we developed and evaluated two approaches, the value threshold and percent difference approaches, to combine CDOM absorption spectra of the same sample measured on two different spectrophotometers that have different but overlapping spectral ranges. Colored dissolved organic matter absorption measurements from 1001 samples were examined, which were sourced from nine different field campaigns with broad optical water type properties. The value threshold approach successfully produces a merged product with larger spectral range for coastal ocean and open ocean samples, transitioning between the input measurements over a span of 40–80 nm where both measurements are valid based on the instrument characteristics of linear response limit and instrument uncertainty. The percent difference approach relies on the percent difference between spectra from the two instruments and works for coastal ocean waters but fails for most open ocean samples where there is more uncertainty proportional to CDOM signal.
