Long Term Hydromorphological Changes in Two Swiss River Floodplains: Analyses of Historical Maps

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Freshwater ecosystems undergo greater changes than even the most affected terrestrial environments, primarily due to human modifications such as river channelization or dam construction. To counteract these impacts, freshwater restoration and re‐naturalization initiatives are being implemented internationally.

Hydrologic Connectivity and Secondary Channel Habitat Properties of the Lower Mississippi River, a Large, Meandering River in the Southern USA

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In large, meandering rivers, much of the instream flow veers around islands through secondary channels (SCs), which often comprise a substantial proportion of a river's longitudinal path. Due to their dissimilar hydrological conditions, within and among themselves and to the main channel (MC), SCs augment habitat diversity and biogeochemical ...

Distance sampling: comparing walked transects and road transects for rock ptarmigan densities and population trends

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
We compared population trends for rock ptarmigan Lagopus muta densities (2003‒2019) derived from walked transects and driven road transects in Mosfellsheiði and Slétta in southwest and northeast Iceland, respectively. The walked transects were laid out according to a random rule.

Assessing habitat suitability for black grouse broods at the bioregional scale

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The black grouse Lyrurus tetrix, a galliform species emblematic of the European Alps, is currently threatened by habitat change, particularly given the closure of heathland linked to the rising tree line at higher altitudes. The presence of heathlands in good ecological condition is, however, imperative for the species' reproduction.
