Groundwater-driven nutrient inputs to coastal lagoons: The relevance of lagoon water recirculation as a conveyor of dissolved nutrients.

open access: yesScience of the Total Environment, 2018
Evaluating the sources of nutrient inputs to coastal lagoons is required to understand the functioning of these ecosystems and their vulnerability to eutrophication.

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

open access: yesWildlife 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.

Experimental Investigation on Wave and Bed Profile Evolution in a Sandbar-Lagoon Coast with Submerged Vegetation

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
Better understanding of the hydro- and morphodynamic processes within vegetated sandbar-lagoon coasts is important for assessing the coastal protection capability of vegetation meadow for the coastal environments. Eighteen flume tests were conducted in a

Improving manual tagging of camera trap videos for wildlife studies: a visual assistance tool applied to the endangered huillin Lontra provocax

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
In the last decades, the use of camera traps for wildlife studies has increased significantly due to advancements in technology leading to cost reduction and improved reliability. They facilitate the study of wild animals in their natural environment in a minimally invasive manner, eliminating the need for researchers to remain in the field for long ...

Bayesian analysis of the multivariate dependence of three transition water ecosystem classifications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The Water Framework Directive (WFD) recognizes benthic macroinvertebrates as a good biological quality element for transitional waters as they are the most exposed to natural variability patterns characteristic of these ecosystems, due to their life ...

Tidal controls on trace gas dynamics in a seagrass meadow of the Ria Formosa lagoon (southern Portugal) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Coastal zones are important source regions for a variety of trace gases, including halocarbons and sulfur-bearing species. While salt marshes, macroalgae and phyto-plankton communities have been intensively studied, little is known about trace gas fluxes

Sponges are celebrated heterotrophs but also key primary producers on changing coral reefs

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Trophic interactions and nutrient cycling lay at the heart of ecosystem health and biodiversity. In recent years, our understanding of these drivers has been repeatedly challenged by rapid and unanticipated climatic effects, combined with an increasing awareness that ...
