Economic Impacts of Wetland Amenities A Spatial Econometric Analysis of the Housing Market [PDF]

Wetlands in the Netherlands are subject to pressures from various economic activities. Especially in the Randstad region there is a strong competition for land among residential industrial, natural and agricultural land use.

Contrasting population genomic structuring of northern pike (Esox lucius L.) in fresh‐ and brackish water environments: Implications for management and conservation

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the factors that shape population genetic structure is crucial for advancing evolutionary studies and developing effective management and conservation strategies. The northern pike (Esox lucius L.) is a top teleost predator that inhabits fresh and brackish water environments in the northern hemisphere.

Conservation genomics of Pecos pupfish (Cyprinodon pecosensis)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pecos pupfish, Cyprinodon pecosensis, is an imperilled freshwater fish found in arid regions of Texas and New Mexico (USA). The species faces multiple challenges to persistence including reductions in suitable habitat, water shortages, as well as hybridization and competition with an introduced congener (sheepshead minnow, C.

Evolutionary correlates and consequences of sociality in feliform carnivorans

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
We take a phylogenetic comparative approach to investigate the evolutionary correlates of sociality in feliform (cat‐like) carnivores. We find that sociality evolved eight times in this group of mammals, and that it is associated with ecologies that facilitate group cohesion (e.g. diurnality and open habitats) and also that should reduce competition (e.

Field‐grown coastal dune plants exhibit similar survival, growth, and biomass in recycled glass substrate and natural beach sand

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Restoration of coastal dunes following tropical storm events often requires renourishment of sand substrate dredged from offshore sources, although dredging has well‐described negative ecological impacts and high economic costs. As a potential solution, recycled glass sand (cullet) made from crushed glass bottles has been proposed as a potential ...

Black mangrove growth and root architecture in recycled glass sand: testing a new substrate for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
As coastal regions experience accelerating land loss, artificial substrates may be useful in restoration efforts to replenish sediment and facilitate plant colonization. Recycled glass sand is a potential artificial substrate for marsh building due to its sustainability, availability, and similarity to natural substrates.
