Researchers have found a novel way to identify heat-stressed corals, which could help scientists pinpoint the coral species that need protection from warming ocean waters linked to climate change, according to a Rutgers-led study.
With restaurants and supply chains disrupted due to the coronavirus pandemic, two-fifths of commercial fishers from Maine to North Carolina did not go fishing earlier this year, a new study shows.
Of those who kept fishing, nearly all reported a decline in income compared with previous years, according to the study in
The study, which covers March to June and included 258 fishers, also examined data on fish landings and found that the catch for some species, such as squid and scallops, decreased compared with previous years. The catch for other species, such as black sea bass and haddock, was on par with or higher than previous years, suggesting that many fishermen fished as much as they had been before the pandemic, while earning less income.

Antibiotics for cesarean section births are just as effective when they re given after the umbilical cord is clamped as before clamping - the current practice - and could benefit newborns developing microbiomes, according to Rutgers co-authored research.
The study, by far the largest of its kind and published in the journal
Antimicrobial Resistance & Infection Control, challenges current recommendations for antibiotic use. Administering antibiotics after clamping does not increase the risk of infection at the site of C-section incisions, the study concludes.
Antibiotics Effective After Clamping Umbilical Cord by Angela Mohan on December 22, 2020 at 3:06 PM
The study, by far the largest of its kind and published in the journal
Antimicrobial Resistance & Infection Control, challenges current recommendations for antibiotic use.
Administering antibiotics after clamping does not increase the risk of infection at the site of C-section incisions, the study concludes. Most national and international guidelines, including those of the World Health Organization, recommend that women receive antibiotics before the skin incision for cesarean section, said co-author Maria Gloria Dominguez-Bello, Henry Rutgers Professor of Microbiome and Health, professor of microbiology and anthropology, and director of the New Jersey Institute for Food, Nutrition, and Health in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences at Rutgers University-New Brunswick.
