An analysis of coastal sand dune management in Oregon (United States) from the 19th to the 21st century

The Drivers -Pressures -State -Impact -Response (DPSIR) framework was employed to understand the land use policies developed to manage coastal sand dunes and their consequences in Oregon, United States of America, during two contrasting periods: from the

Fish assemblage at a newly restored tidal wetland reflects surrounding waterways in the Sacramento‐San Joaquin Delta

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction We studied the response of fish assemblages, water quality, and plankton following the completion of 700 acres of a 1184‐acre tidal restoration project (Dutch Slough Tidal Restoration; DSTR) in a system degraded by water diversions, channelization, non‐native species, and wetland loss.

Integrating natural baselines into ecosystem restoration: scaling herbivore targets for European landscapes

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Herbivore‐mediated ecosystem processes are fundamental to biodiversity, yet have been greatly diminished by megafauna extinctions and replacement of wild herbivores by managed livestock. With increasing restoration ambitions—including the United Nations' (UN) Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and the European Union (EU) Nature ...

Direct seeding and turf transplantation can reintroduce native species in grassland degraded by pine plantation

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Grasslands worldwide have been extensively converted to exotic tree plantations, resulting in persistent degradation and limited natural recovery after tree removal. In southern Brazil, pine plantations alter soil conditions and create dense litter layers that restrict native plant regeneration, highlighting the need for active ...

Rethinking microtidal systems: Tidal signatures in the fluvial deposits of the Po River, Italy

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In microtidally influenced rivers, tides are generally assumed to leave virtually no signatures in the sedimentary record. However, this hypothesis has been surprisingly poorly tested using modern river analogues, which provide an opportunity to assess whether sedimentary signatures of microtidal regimes can develop in rivers that lack ...

What is a Multi‐Ethnic Party and How to Spot a Fake One?

Swiss Political Science Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Multi‐ethnic parties have been variously defined: as those which do not champion the interests of, or mobilize against, any specific ethnic group; as those with a recognisably cross‐communal leadership or membership; and as those which acquire some distribution of support across groups.

The African Mole‐Rat Genus Cryptomys and Its Species: Distinct in Their Genes and Habitats

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACTThe African mole‐rat genus Cryptomys comprises five morphologically cryptic lineages distributed across South Africa and in Zimbabwe, historically treated as subspecies of C. hottentotus (C. h. hottentotus, C. h. mahali, C. h. natalensis, C. h. pretoriae and C. h. nimrodi).

Surf hydrodynamics under collapsing coastal dunes

, 2011
The hydrodynamics of the surf zone in front of collapsing coastal dunes are examined. The data was gathered during the HYDRALAB-III funded Transnational Access experiment performed at the CIEM large-scale wave flume.

Food for the Future: Identifying and Prioritising Feeding Habitat for South‐Eastern Glossy Black‐Cockatoos to Guide Strategic Ecological Restoration in North‐Eastern NSW

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 28, Issue 1, January 2027.
ABSTRACT Habitat loss and fragmentation are causing major global biodiversity declines. Strategic ecological restoration can mitigate native vegetation decline, and is especially important for fauna with habitat and dietary specialisations, for which restoring key ecosystem features may be more critical than increasing revegetated area.
