Multi-horizon forecasting of coastal high water temperature events for operational marine-heatwave early warning in South Korean aquaculture: a walk-forward benchmark of eleven statistical and deep-learning models
Coastal aquaculture in South Korea faces repeated losses due to marine-heatwave events impacting key species like olive flounder. Addressing this, a recent study benchmarks eleven statistical and deep-learning models for forecasting high water temperatures, culminating in the development of the Hybrid GNN-BiLSTM. This innovative architecture demonstrates superior long-horizon predictive skill, achieving the lowest root-mean-square error and calibrated probabilistic forecasts. The research highlights a 38-hour advisory lead time, demonstrating the potential for operationally actionable early warnings—a critical advancement for protecting vulnerable aquaculture operations.
Disentangling drivers of Magellanic penguin demography: climate variability and terrestrial predation at Southern Patagonia
Magellanic penguin populations in Southern Patagonia face complex interplay between climate and local pressures. A 15-year analysis of reproductive data (2010–2025) and 10 years of population abundance reveals a decoupling of factors driving breeding success versus overall population size. While breeding success is significantly influenced by climate indicators (Southern Annular Mode, SST) and puma predation, population abundance remained stable, demonstrating climate’s dominant role in interannual breeding dynamics. Understanding these dynamics is critical for effective conservation strategies.
