African Journal of Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 4, Page 999-1005, December 2023., 2023 Abstract The common hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) is a driver of ecological processes in African savannah aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Recent studies have highlighted the ecological impacts of hippos in these systems; however, these lack behavioural data to contextualise their ecological inputs.

Canadian Geographer / Le géographe canadien, Volume 67, Issue 4, Page 537-549, Winter / hiver 2023., 2023 Résumé Au Québec, la dynamique fluviale de la rivière des Escoumins a été perturbée par l'industrie forestière pendant plus d'un siècle. Un barrage a notamment été construit près de l'embouchure en 1846, puis démantelé en 2013. Ces perturbations ont entraîné des répercussions importantes sur l'équilibre du cours d'eau et sur l'habitat du saumon ...

Muddy waters: Mega‐herbivores as agents of change in African shallow freshwaters
African Journal of Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 722-725, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Large herbivores have been described as agents of change in terrestrial habitats. Their effect on aquatic ecosystems are, however, underexplored. We raise the question of whether elephants and hippopotamus have the potential to significantly alter limnological properties and, indirectly, primary and secondary productivity within small and ...

Savanna vegetation increase triggers freshwater community shifts
Global Change Biology, Volume 28, Issue 23, Page 7023-7037, December 2022., 2022 Large mammalian herbivores inhabiting savanna landscapes are known to shape adjacent freshwater bodies, which are used by a wide variety of species during reproduction. Following a period of intensified poaching in Comoé National Park, Ivory Coast, we quantified major vegetation increase in small temporary ponds, which resulted in significant ...

Inter‐country differences in the cultural ecosystem services provided by cockles
People and Nature, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 71-87, February 2022., 2022 Abstract Coastal systems provide many cultural ecosystem services (CES) to humans. Fewer studies have focused solely on CES, while those comparing CES across countries are even rarer. In the case of shellfish, considerable ecosystem services focus has been placed on nutrient remediation, with relatively little on the cultural services provided, despite

Diversity and biogeography of Mediterranean freshwater blennies (Blenniidae, Salaria)
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 27, Issue 9, Page 1832-1847, September 2021., 2021 Abstract Aim In the Mediterranean biodiversity hotspot, freshwater fishes are key biogeographic indicators, while their habitats are vulnerable to ongoing anthropogenic pressures. The freshwater blenny is a widespread endemic taxon in this area.

EcoSun Pass: A tool to evaluate the ecofriendliness of UV filters used in sunscreen products
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 43, Issue 2, Page 201-210, April 2021., 2021 Abstract Objective Sunscreens play a major role in the EU sun protection strategy in order to prevent humans from UV light‐induced skin damage. In recent years, the demand for high‐quality sunscreen products including aspects of broad range and photostability of the UV protection, showing good spreadability onto human skin and excellent sensorial ...
