New index links changing ocean food webs to Bermuda’s spiny lobster fishery
Bermuda Institute of Ocean SciencesBermuda’s spiny lobster (Panulirus argus) catch has declined over the past decade despite longstanding management measures designed to support a sustainable fishery. New research suggests that part of the explanation may lie far beyond Bermuda’s waters, in changes taking place across the wider ocean food web.

BiLSTM-driven error compensation for high-precision orbit prediction with two-line elements
Beijing Institute of Technology Press Co., LtdWith the exponential increase in the number of objects in low Earth orbit (LEO), collision risks have risen correspondingly, making high-precision orbit prediction a core requirement for ensuring satellite safety and space environment management. Two-Line Elements (TLEs) are the only publicly available orbital data source and are widely used in conjunction with the Simplified General Perturbations 4 (SGP4) model for LEO object orbit prediction. However, LEO objects are significantly affected by complex time-varying perturbations such as atmospheric drag, causing model prediction errors to grow rapidly over time—short-term errors can reach hundreds to thousands of meters, while medium- and long-term prediction errors may exceed 10 km. Although traditional dynamical models can achieve relatively high accuracy through numerical integration, they incur substantial computational costs and suffer from limited atmospheric density modeling accuracy (only about 5%–15%). Analytical methods, while computationally efficient, struggle to handle complex perturbations. In recent years, bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) networks have demonstrated strong capabilities in time-series prediction; nevertheless, an effective approach for systematically modeling and compensating for TLE-based prediction errors using solely publicly available TLE data has remained lacking.
Marine ammonia-oxidizing archaea link ocean nitrogen cycling to nitrous oxide emissions in a changing climate
Science China PressA review published in SCIENCE CHINA Earth Sciences synthesizes current knowledge of nitrous oxide (N2O) production by marine planktonic ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA), an important microbial group involved in ocean nitrification. The authors summarize the potential metabolic pathways of AOA-derived N2O and examine how environmental factors including oxygen, temperature, pH, substrate availability, and organic carbon regulate this process. The review highlights the need to understand multifactorial effects of ocean warming, acidification, and deoxygenation to better predict marine N2O emissions under future climate change.

Adaptive lunar jumping strategies: Understanding Temporal associations for behavior consequences
Beijing Institute of Technology Press Co., LtdWith the growing demand for in-situ exploration of complex extreme terrains such as polar craters in lunar exploration missions, quadruped robots have demonstrated unique advantages owing to their efficient jumping and locomotion capabilities in weak gravitational fields. However, lunar gravity is only one-sixth of Earth's, which substantially prolongs the flight phase of underactuated jumping. Incorrect takeoff actions on rugged terrain generate rotational torques that cause the robot to continuously rotate in mid-air, with the angular momentum accumulating over time and leading to catastrophic consequences, thus imposing significant uncertainty on landing control. Conventional optimal control methods rely on offline preplanned trajectories and are unable to cope with the variability of unknown rugged terrains; existing deep reinforcement learning models lack effective utilization of temporal causal relationships, relying solely on current states for decision-making and struggling to predict the long-term consequences of actions. Therefore, how to leverage historical sequence information to model temporal dependencies between actions, enabling the robot to possess forward-looking prediction and adaptive adjustment capabilities during the jumping process, has become a key technical challenge for jumping control on complex lunar terrains.
