abstract = {European urban climate change research lacks integration across scales, geography, and climate challenges, despite Europe's coordinated policy frameworks. Through a hybrid bibliometric and systematic review of 1528 studies (2010–2025) using Cortext Manager and PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this study maps the conceptual patterns, knowledge gaps, and adaptation and mitigation measures in European urban climate change research. Findings reveal: (1) scale fragmentation between building- and city-level research; (2) geographic concentration in Italy, the United Kingdom, Spain, and Germany, neglecting the diversity of European urban typologies; and (3) isolated approaches to interconnected climate challenges, with Urban Heat Island (UHI) dominating the literature. This systemic fragmentation limits cities' capacity to evaluate co-benefits, trade-offs, and strategies aligned with SDG 11 targets. Based on an empirically derived taxonomy of European urban climate action, the study proposes a research agenda calling for transdisciplinary frameworks and integrated modeling approaches to bridge these silos and support evidence-based climate policy.},

abstract = {Global change poses “wicked problems” that have become ever more complex, pervasive, and damaging. Developing innovative solutions increasingly require diverse research approaches. The Franco-German Make Our Planet Great Again (MOPGA) program was designed to create a unique international network of top-level research, from fundamental to solution-oriented projects. MOPGA stands out from other large research initiatives by focusing not on a singular central research challenge but on facilitating multidisciplinary interactions between traditionally separated fields. MOPGA recognized that social, natural and engineering sciences share a unifying aim to address global change. In addition to addressing timely and innovative research questions within disciplines, MOPGA worked to improve communication across disciplines via annual meetings for all laureates and their research groups, scientific board exchanges, and public online seminars. Drawing on our MOPGA experiences, we discuss how such exchanges should be extended to meet the needs identified by the scientific community, international policy-makers, and regional stakeholders. In the current political landscape of scientific suppression and heightened mistrust in scientific expertise, the need for such bold, independent and collaborative scientific initiatives is greater than ever.},

abstract = {Marine ecosystems are increasingly threatened by overfishing, pollution, coastal development and climate change, underscoring the need for long-term, representative information on key fish populations and habitats to inform management and policy. Underwater fish observation (UFObs) techniques, such as Underwater Visual Census (UVC), stereo-Baited Remote Underwater Video (stereo-BRUV) and Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), play a key role in sustaining long-term data collection. Despite technological advancements, gaps persist in understanding research focus, geographic distribution and methodological biases inherent in these methods. We conducted a scientometric analysis of 1443 peer-reviewed publications (1953–2023), employing natural language processing and network analysis to map the research landscape. We identified 15 knowledge clusters, including marine protected areas, apex predator conservation and reef ecosystems. Our findings reveal increasing use of BRUVS and ROVs in studies of marine protected areas and subsea infrastructure, while UVC remains prevalent in shallow coral reef research. Geographic representation is skewed, with the field dominated by researchers based in Australia and the United States, and underrepresented in Africa and Southeast Asia. This imbalance highlights the need for more inclusive, globally coordinated monitoring and reporting. Our results underscore the urgency of standardising protocols within each observation method and developing interoperable reporting frameworks across techniques to maximise data comparability and foster international collaboration. Addressing these challenges will strengthen the field's capacity to inform global conservation strategies and support sustainable fisheries management.},

abstract = {Bacteroides spp. are among the most dominant members of the gut microbiota of homeothermic animals, surpassing commonly cited genera such as Escherichia, Lactobacillus, and Bifidobacterium. Their predominance supports their role as mutualists or commensals within the gastrointestinal tract. However, disruption of gut barrier integrity may allow Bacteroides to translocate to extraintestinal sites, where they can cause opportunistic infections.

Moreover, Bacteroides species are notable for their high levels of clinical antimicrobial resistance and for harboring diverse resistance mechanisms among anaerobic gut bacteria. This study aimed to characterize regional research trends on Bacteroides through a bibliometric analysis of publications indexed in the Scopus database. All eligible original research articles on Bacteroides originating from Southeast Asian (SEA) countries were retrieved, and bibliographic and citation data were analyzed.

Selected datasets were visualized using the CorText platform. A total of 113 Bacteroides-related research articles published between 1995 and 2025 were identified from SEA. Research output showed a marked increase beginning in 2019, peaking in 2023.

Singapore and Thailand emerged as the leading contributors to Bacteroides research in the region, with Singapore also dominating in terms of productive institutions and individual authors.

Moreover, the majority of the journals in which Bacteroides research was published were top-tier. The most highly cited article (TC = 2,375) was an international collaborative study led by a Singapore-based researcher and conducted in France. Frequently occurring keywords included “gut/fecal microbiome,” “resistance gene(s),” “microbial source tracking,” and "fecal pollution.”

Overall, this bibliometric analysis of the Bacteroides research landscape in SEA underscores the relatively limited volume and scope of studies in the region. The findings highlight the need to expand research efforts toward a more comprehensive understanding of Bacteroides epidemiology, ecology, and clinical relevance beyond the gut microbiome context.},
