Addressing grand ecological challenges in aquatic ecosystems: how can mesocosms be used to advance solutions?
Marine and freshwater researchers using mesocosms synthesise their recommendations on opportunities and limitations for advancing solutions to grand ecological challenges in aquatic ecosystems. They focus on the unexplored potential for using mesocosms to test solutions to human impacts on aquatic ecosystems. This will need novel collaborations between ecologists and technological developers.

Tried and true vs. shiny and new: Method switching in long-term aquatic datasets
There is a shortage of discourse regarding the best practices in switching methods for long-term data collection in aquatic ecosystems. In this paper, factors that contribute to the successes and failures of method switches are discussed. The authors present three case studies that demonstrate successful method switching and then outline best practices for maintaining data integrity.
