Effects of interactions between anthropogenic stressors and recurring perturbations on ecosystem resilience and collapse. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2023
Abstract Insights into declines in ecosystem resilience and their causes and effects can inform preemptive action to avoid ecosystem collapse and loss of biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human well‐being. Empirical studies of ecosystem collapse are rare and hampered by ecosystem complexity, nonlinear and lagged responses, and interactions across ...

Effect of partial mutton meat substitution with Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.) flour on physicochemical properties, lipid oxidation, and sensory acceptability of low-fat patties. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
Physicochemical properties, lipid oxidation, and sensory acceptability of low‐fat mutton patties substituted with Bambara groundnut flour were determined. The increase in the percentage substitution of BGN flours significantly increased the fiber, ash, and carbohydrate contents of the formulated mutton patties.

Response and resilience of karst subterranean estuary communities to precipitation impacts

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023
Heavy precipitation events caused a halocline shift resulting in a mortality event at a karst subterranean estuary, affecting the fauna inhabiting under the halocline (dotted white line) at the marine groundwater layer (a‐b). Overall, marine species (c‐e) inhabiting the caves were impacted, and cave‐adapted fauna (f‐i) remain resilient to short‐term ...

Groundwater mapping and locally engaged water governance in a small island terrain: Case study of Karainagar island, Northern Sri Lanka

World Water Policy, Volume 9, Issue 3, Page 456-480, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Groundwater is a vital resource under threat in island communities. Karainagar, a 22 km2 island, is one of seven islands off the coast of Jaffna in Northern Sri Lanka, with its population of just about 11,000 persons, experiences seasonal water shortage, and salinity in groundwater as twin threats impacting on their lives.

Institutional pathways for transforming groundwater planning and management: Reflections from Pakistan and Sri Lanka

World Water Policy, Volume 9, Issue 3, Page 481-501, August 2023., 2023
Abstract The growing issues with groundwater quality and quantity worldwide are particularly impacting regions of South Asia, where groundwater use plays a crucial role in human well‐being. As the severity of the situation becomes clearer, there are increasing calls for transformation in water management.

How vulnerable are amphibians to climate change? A mechanistic perspective

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1550-1560, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Amphibians are frequently identified as highly vulnerable to climate change, yet the mechanisms driving this sensitivity remain uncertain. Approaches that explicitly link physiological mechanisms to environmental variation provide powerful tools for forecasting climate ...

Representation of obligate groundwater‐dwelling copepod diversity in European protected areas

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Groundwaters sustain diverse surface ecosystems and are populated by metazoan species, mostly invertebrates, that provide fundamental ecological functions and are often of prominent conservation value due to narrow endemism and high phylogenetic rarity.
