Long before marine laboratories were commonplace, a few visionary scientists created the first of a growing number of biological field stations in the second half of the 19th century. This article tells the 150-year tale of the rise and fall of six marine stations that belonged to three different universities and were sometimes operated simultaneously along a stretch of merely ten kilometers of the French coastline of the eastern English Channel. Specifically, I focus on the intellectual lineages, sense of brotherhood, rivalries, and even the indifference between individuals and institutions that shaped the local scientific landscape and paved the way for what became modern marine biology and ecology, and oceanography.

A “Cradle of Marine Science” in China, Xiamen University has a long, long relationship with the ocean. Beginning with the founding of the university in 1921 and the creation of the first Department of Oceanography in China in 1946, many generations of ocean scientists and ocean stewards were born here. Throughout our marine science journey, we have sought collaborations locally, regionally, and internationally as we seek to understand an ocean undergoing rapid change under ever increasing anthropogenic stressors. Thus, it is more important than ever that we, as a scientific community, strengthen existing ties and establish new ones to meet the coming challenges.
The 2025 Xiamen Symposium on Marine Environmental Sciences (or XMAS for short) provides one such platform for creating these connections. To be held from 14 to 17 January 2025 in Xiamen (Figs. 1-3), this biennial meeting hosted by the State Key Laboratory of Marine Environmental Science will continue to build upon the topics and feedback from previous iterations. Sessions will cover a diverse range of ocean science topics (physical, chemical, and biological oceanography as well as marine pollution), and workshops and salons for education/outreach, Women in Science, research adjacent careers, and early career scientists will be on offer as well. While 2025 marks the 7th XMAS, this one will be unique in that we are co-sponsored by ASLO, our first time collaborating with an international society. We hope to make this our most successful conference to date and encourage further collaborations across our one ocean.
In addition to the ocean science and networking opportunities, Xiamen offers a wide variety of sights and experiences. There's truly something for everyone. Gulangyu (鼓浪屿), with its distinctive blend of European and Chinese elements, is just a stone's throw away from Xiamen and offers many local delights. Or go slightly further afield and visit the Tulou (土楼 literal translation: earthen building), the traditional communal domiciles of the Hakka people. And for the foodies, there are loads of different regional delicacies for you to sample!
So, join us for XMAS2025! We are currently accepting abstracts through 20 September (https://melmeeting.xmu.edu.cn/xmas/). If you have additional questions about the conference (or about Xiamen and Xiamen University in general), please feel free to contact us at [email protected].

Each year, ASLO honors aquatic scientists of various career stages for their exceptional contributions to advancing the fields of limnology and oceanography with seven achievement awards. See below for the list of this year's list of winners.
The ASLO awardees are invited to accept their award at an ASLO sponsored meeting and give a plenary presentation about their work and career. These presentations are recorded and added to our extensive YouTube library of award talks and meeting plenaries (http://bit.ly/ASLOUTube). This year, the 2024 G. Evelyn Hutchinson Award was presented to Elizabeth Kujawinski at the 2024 Ocean Sciences Meeting in New Orleans, LA, USA. Robert Chen, the recipient of the 2024 Ramón Margalef Award for Excellence in Education, will be honored at the 2025 Aquatic Sciences Meeting in Charlotte, NC, USA. The remaining five awards were presented at the 2024 Summer ASLO Meeting in Madison, WI, USA.
Do you know someone deserving of an ASLO Award? Consider sending in a nomination! ASLO awardees are chosen from member-submitted nominations only, so we need your help to fill a diverse slate of awardees for 2025. Nominees do not need to be an ASLO member. The nominations period is currently open and will close in September (See http://aslo.org/aslo-awards/). For more on the awards process, check out Wickland and Pollard (2019).
G. EVELYN HUTCHINSON AWARD
EBK: Together with my lab group, we quantify small polar metabolites in seawater that may be used in exchange reactions between microbes. Although some of our measurements target molecules that have been observed by others (like amino acids), many of our measurements are the first of their kind in seawater and thus bring new insights into the molecules that could be important currencies in marine microbial consortia. My favorite molecule in this context is pantothenic acid (vitamin B5). Pantothenic acid is a precursor to coenzyme A (CoA), a critical intermediate in the carbon cycle, and its intracellular concentrations can regulate carbon cycling in many cells. Because almost all organisms can produce pantothenic acid due to its role in the foundational metabolism of the cell, vitamin B5 was not considered to be an important molecule for exchange among microbes and thus was rarely measured in seawater. Over the past four years, we measured monthly or bi-monthly pantothenic acid concentrations at the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) site in the North Atlantic Ocean. The depth profile of pantothenic acid is remarkably stable over time, with elevated concentrations in the upper 100 m, and decreasing into the mesopelagic zone. With newer methods, we see some structure in these profiles, indicating that pantothenic acid concentrations are responding to different consortia with depth. I am interested in determining the controlling factors on pantothenic concentrations with the goal of un

<p>We are pleased to announce a call for papers for a special issue of <i>Limnology and Oceanography Letters</i> focusing on methane emissions from aquatic environments (Fig. 1).</p><p>Freshwater, brackish, and marine environments significantly contribute to global methane emissions, but the high degree of variability in estimates from these environments is largely responsible for the uncertainty in estimates of methane emissions from natural sources. With this special issue of <i>Limnology and Oceanography Letters</i>, we call for papers that contribute to minimizing the knowledge gap in understanding the spatiotemporal variability of methane emissions across the aquatic continuum and the biological, chemical, and physical processes driving it.</p><p>Surface emissions correspond to the net balance between production and consumption processes and include several biotic and abiotic mechanisms such as diffusion and lateral transport of CH<sub>4</sub> from the sediment; demethylation of organic compounds in oxic environments; photosynthesis, ebullition, and emission through macrophytes; and transport by various organisms. Nevertheless, the contribution of individual mechanisms to the accumulation and emission of methane is not well constrained. For example, the contribution of aerobic and anaerobic methane oxidizers to methane consumption in sediments and deeper layers of the water column at the oxic–anoxic interfaces is well studied. In contrast, in the oxic surface layers of oceans and lakes, this process is less understood with contradicting data regarding the inhibitory effects of light and oxygen on the methane oxidation process. As methane emissions are a result of production, transport, and consumption, it is essential to gain a better understanding of the organisms playing a role in the process as well as the different rates of production and consumption.</p><p>The variability in methane emissions from different types of aquatic systems and across various spatial scales, from ponds to large lakes, streams to rivers, estuaries, and oceans, hinders the generation of large-scale models. Novel methanogenesis processes discovered in the last decade are major contributors to methane emissions, yet there is minimal information on their isotopic signatures.

我们很高兴地宣布，《湖沼学与海洋学快报》特刊将面向水生环境甲烷排放专题征稿（图1）。淡水、半咸淡水和海洋环境对全球甲烷排放有重大贡献，但这些环境估计值的高度变异性是造成自然来源甲烷排放估计值不确定性的主要原因。在本期《湖沼学与海洋学快报》特刊中，我们呼吁投稿论文，以最大限度地缩小理解水生连续体中甲烷排放的时空变异性以及驱动甲烷排放的生物、化学和物理过程方面的知识差距。地表排放对应于生产和消费过程之间的净平衡，包括几种生物和非生物机制，如沉积物中CH4的扩散和侧向运输；有机化合物在氧环境中的去甲基化；通过大型植物的光合作用、沸腾和释放；以及各种生物体的运输。然而，个别机制对甲烷积累和排放的贡献并没有得到很好的约束。例如，好氧和厌氧甲烷氧化剂对沉积物和缺氧界面水柱深层甲烷消耗的贡献得到了很好的研究。相比之下，在海洋和湖泊的含氧表层，人们对这一过程的了解较少，关于光和氧对甲烷氧化过程的抑制作用的数据相互矛盾。由于甲烷排放是生产、运输和消费的结果，因此有必要更好地了解在这一过程中发挥作用的生物以及不同的生产和消费速度。不同类型水生系统和不同空间尺度（从池塘到大湖、溪流到河流、河口和海洋）甲烷排放的变异性阻碍了大尺度模型的生成。过去十年中发现的新型甲烷生成过程是甲烷排放的主要贡献者，但关于其同位素特征的信息很少。在评估水生系统在全球甲烷收支中的作用时，这两个知识缺口导致了自上而下和自下而上方法之间的巨大差异。我们欢迎本期特刊就不同水生生物的甲烷生产、消费、运输和排放问题发表意见。研究可能涉及参与甲烷循环的微生物群落，经典和新型过程和途径的量化，大规模时空研究，新型甲烷来源的同位素表征，以及量化水中甲烷排放的新方法。本期特刊的所有投稿必须符合《湖沼学与海洋学快报》（https://aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/23782242）的范围，并将以与常规期刊投稿相同的严格程度进行评估。被接受的论文将在Early View上在线发表，并附有永久DOI。提交到本期特刊的论文将被绑定并添加到期刊网站收藏页面。所有文章都是开放获取的，ASLO会员的出版费用为2688美元，非会员的出版费用为3360美元。学生和退休科学家的会员费用仅为30美元，早期职业科学家的会员费用为50美元，发展中国家的学生和早期职业科学家的会员费用为免费（见：https://www.aslo.org/membership-options-join-and-renew/join/）。低收入和中低收入国家和地区的通讯作者可获得文章出版费用的豁免和折扣（详细信息：https://aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/hub/journal/23782242/resources/apc#:~:text=The%20journal%20does%20not%20charge%20any%20submission%20fees%20or%20page%20charges）。请注意期刊的数据发表要求，如Cloern（2022）所述。为了确定稿件是否适合特刊，请在2024年9月30日之前向《湖泊学与海洋学快报》主编James E.

{"title":"Call for Proposals: Special Issue of Limnology and Oceanography Letters: Methane in freshwater, brackish, and marine environments","authors":"Mina Bizic, Paul del Giorgio, Sofia Baliña, Yves Prairie, Tonya DelSontro, Alberto Borges","doi":"10.1002/lob.10653","DOIUrl":"10.1002/lob.10653","url":null,"abstract":"<p>We are pleased to announce a call for papers for a special issue of <i>Limnology and Oceanography Letters</i> focusing on methane emissions from aquatic environments (Fig. 1).</p><p>Freshwater, brackish, and marine environments significantly contribute to global methane emissions, but the high degree of variability in estimates from these environments is largely responsible for the uncertainty in estimates of methane emissions from natural sources. With this special issue of <i>Limnology and Oceanography Letters</i>, we call for papers that contribute to minimizing the knowledge gap in understanding the spatiotemporal variability of methane emissions across the aquatic continuum and the biological, chemical, and physical processes driving it.</p><p>Surface emissions correspond to the net balance between production and consumption processes and include several biotic and abiotic mechanisms such as diffusion and lateral transport of CH<sub>4</sub> from the sediment; demethylation of organic compounds in oxic environments; photosynthesis, ebullition, and emission through macrophytes; and transport by various organisms. Nevertheless, the contribution of individual mechanisms to the accumulation and emission of methane is not well constrained. For example, the contribution of aerobic and anaerobic methane oxidizers to methane consumption in sediments and deeper layers of the water column at the oxic–anoxic interfaces is well studied. In contrast, in the oxic surface layers of oceans and lakes, this process is less understood with contradicting data regarding the inhibitory effects of light and oxygen on the methane oxidation process. As methane emissions are a result of production, transport, and consumption, it is essential to gain a better understanding of the organisms playing a role in the process as well as the different rates of production and consumption.</p><p>The variability in methane emissions from different types of aquatic systems and across various spatial scales, from ponds to large lakes, streams to rivers, estuaries, and oceans, hinders the generation of large-scale models. Novel methanogenesis processes discovered in the last decade are major contributors to methane emissions, yet there is minimal information on their isotopic signatures. Coupled, these two gaps in knowledge contribute to the large discrepancies between top-down and bottom-up approaches when evaluating the role of aquatic systems in the global methane budget.</p><p>We welcome contributions to this Special Issue addressing methane production, consumption, transport, and emissions from different aquatic bodies.

<p>The <i>Limnology and Oceanography Bulletin</i> has been published since 1990 and over that time its editorial board has taken a range of different forms. In 2022, the <i>Bulletin</i> switched to a model where the Editor in Chief (myself, Laura Falkenberg) is supported by three Associate Editors (AEs, Fig. 1). Following an open call for applicants, our first team of AEs was comprised of Carolina Barbosa, Clara Mendoza-Lera, and Michael Meyer. Over the past two years, we have worked together to bring you eight issues of the <i>Bulletin</i>. With their terms concluding earlier this year, original AEs Carolina and Clara are stepping down from their roles, while Michael has extended for a second two year stint. To fill the vacant positions, another open call was announced earlier in 2024. The successful applicants were Jemma Fadum and Alberto Scotti, with this their first issue as AEs.
