Pickering Brook Salt Marsh Restoration - Phase II [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
In the early 1900’s, the majority of coastal salt marshes in New England were ditched as part of an aggressive mosquito control program. In an attempt to eradicate mosquito-breeding habitat, open water areas were drained by a series of ditches excavated ...

What is “accuracy”? Rethinking machine learning classifier performance metrics for highly imbalanced, high variance, zero‐inflated species count data

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Machine learning has opened the door for the automated sorting (classification) of images, holograms and acoustic backscatters of individual plankton, invertebrates, fish and marine mammals. However, this field is complicated by decades of paradoxically promising reports of classifier performance that do not correlate with real‐world uptake of

Improved COI taxonomic assignment workflow enhances detection of invertebrates in environmental DNA

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is an increasingly popular and powerful tool in ecology, offering a non‐invasive method to assess biodiversity and monitor ecosystem health across diverse environments. While the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene is one of the most widely used markers for studying eukaryotic ...

Microwave‐Assisted Synthesis of Chitosan–Iron Oxide (CS@Fe3O4) Nanocomposite for Removal of Cationic and Anionic Dyes

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
A novel chitosan–iron oxide nanocomposite synthesized via microwave‐assisted technique demonstrates rapid and efficient removal of both cationic and anionic dyes from water. Comprehensive characterization and adsorption studies reveal high capacity, reusable performance, and robust removal mechanisms, positioning this material as a promising, scalable ...

Ecosystem size reverses the effect of the spatial coupling between autotrophic and heterotrophic ecosystems

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The flow of non‐living resources between autotrophic and heterotrophic ecosystems can impact their ecosystem function. However, ecosystem size is similarly known to influence ecological properties and it is uncertain how the size of coupled ecosystems mediates the effect of resource flows.

Seasonal variations in planktonic food web structure affect stability by shifting the distribution of energy fluxes

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Seasonality in temperate ecosystems shapes species phenology, influencing interactions and food web structure. Variations in species richness and biomass affect trophic interaction strength, a crucial factor for community stability, which can be assessed through energy fluxes – an essential indicator of ecosystem function.

Does Long-Term Macrophyte Management in Lakes Affect Biotic Richness and Diversity? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We hypothesize that the richness and diversity of the biota in Lake Moraine (42°50’47”N, 75°31’39”W) in New York have been negatively impacted by 60 years of macrophyte and algae management to control Eurasian watermilfoil ( Myriophyllum spicatum L.
