Scour hole behaviour: A field study of the Dutch Rhine Delta

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 2, February 2026.
Scour hole behaviour can be divided into dynamic and stable. Dynamic scour holes grow in area, depth and volume during seasonal discharge variations and are typically located in discharge‐dominated river reaches. Stable scour holes are found in tidal rivers with heterogeneous riverbeds and show nearly fixed dimensions.

Flooding and a complex predator community drive American oystercatcher nest and chick survival in Virginia

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.
We investigated low American oystercatcher (Haematopus palliatus) productivity in the Virginia barrier islands, which historically supported high oystercatcher reproductive success. We found that chick survival was lower than nest survival, and that management may need to adapt to address evolving threats from coastal flooding and a multi‐guild ...

When species are lost but functions persist: a trait‐based perspective on Wadden Sea bird diversity dynamics

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.
Biodiversity faces several global threats and communities are likely to show complex delayed responses. Accurately measuring these lags is critical to properly understand diversity dynamics. Here, we investigated these delays with minimal data availability and found critical mismatches between the temporal dynamics of taxonomic and functional diversity

Shape Matters: Unlocking Transport Histories in Fine‐Grained Aeolian Sediments With Endmember Modeling of Size–Shape Distributions

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The transport medium, mode, energy, and distance are recorded in the grain‐size and grain‐shape distributions in a sedimentary deposit. While grain‐size analysis has long been used in sedimentology, grain‐shape analysis is increasingly recognized as a valuable tool for reconstructing sedimentary processes and palaeoenvironments.

Role of the Initial Topobathymetry in Washover Deposit Formation During Extreme Events

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Low‐lying beaches, important ecological and socio‐economic assets, are vulnerable to storm erosion and flooding impacts, which are expected to increase due to climate change. This conceptual study uses the 2DH XBeach model to simulate the influence of the initial topobathymetric shape on the washover deposit formation during a beach overwash ...

Storm Wind Flow and Sediment Dynamics on Adjacent Coastal Dunes With Contrasting Morphologies During One Storm Event

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract This study presents the first high‐resolution spatial and temporal analysis of wind flow, sediment transport and topographic evolution under simultaneous storm conditions across two morphologically contrasting beach‐dune systems, characterized by a gently sloping dune face (11°) and a steep, scarped dune face (36°).

Patterns of Interploidy Admixture in Polyploid Complexes: Insights From Thymus Sect. Mastichina (Lamiaceae)

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 3, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding gene flow between ploidy levels in polyploid complexes is essential for species delimitation and conservation. This study explores evolutionary dynamics in the polyploid complex Thymus sect. Mastichina (Lamiaceae), comprising three taxa: T. mastichina subsp. mastichina, T. mastichina subsp.
