Integrating and assessing metacommunity drivers of ecosystem function and resilience in benthic algal systems

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Understanding the scales and mechanisms by which species composition interacts with ecosystem functions is critical for forecasting the effects of environmental perturbations on ecosystem services. However, the linkages between what regulates the ecosystem functions of dispersal‐capable networks of communities (metacommunities) and what regulates a ...

Warming modifies trophic impacts of invading shrimp with impact varying among primary producers

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Environmental change drivers, such as climate change and species invasions, can disrupt biological networks and weaken ecosystem stability. Acting together, these drivers may interact and alter the effects on the ecosystem. However, few studies have examined the interactive effects of climate change and species invasions, particularly in aquatic ...

Forecasting the impact of food‐provisioning and other stressors on a marine top‐predator population

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Wildlife tourism can alter animal behavior, affect vital rates and diminish population viability but its impact in the context of other human‐ and environmental disturbances, remain largely unstudied. Using simulation models and leveraging a robust long‐term dataset spanning eight years, we evaluated the contribution of wildlife feeding, in the context

Biosurfactant production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from mining waste: From genomic analysis to development of a polymeric composite for removal of hexavalent chromium

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
Biosurfactant was produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa using andiroba waste from Amazonia. A biosurfactant–alginate composite (Alg/BioS) was successfully synthesized via ionotropic gelation, and achieved up to 70% Cr6+ removal from water. Abstract Environmental contamination by heavy metals represents a significant challenge due to their persistence in ...

Synthesis and application of alginate@CuFe2O4 polymeric spheres in 17‐β‐estradiol adsorption processes in Amazonian rivers

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
Magnetic alginate beads, functionalized with copper ferrite, effectively remove 17‐β‐estradiol from Amazonian water, exhibiting optimized 238.65 μg g−1 capacity, fast 40 min kinetics, easy recovery, and successful remediation. Abstract The presence of endocrine‐disrupting compounds, such as 17‐β‐estradiol, in aquatic ecosystems poses a significant ...

Restoring Lateral Connectivity to Anthropogenic Riverscapes: Six Lessons From Stage Zero

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Centuries of river modification, particularly straightening and incision, have severely reduced lateral connectivity between rivers and their floodplains. As a result, Stage 0 riverscapes, characterised by high lateral connectivity (e.g., anastomosing or wetland riverscapes), are now rare in anthropogenic landscapes.
