Crawling under the radar: Two novel Paulinella species expand knowledge about the ecology and evolution of a primary plastid‐containing amoeba lineage

open access: yesJournal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The genus Paulinella represents a rare, independent case of primary endosymbiosis, providing a unique system to study the early stages of organelle evolution. Here, we expand current understanding of primary plastid endosymbiosis through the discovery and characterization of two novel photosynthetic amoebae, Paulinella marae sp. nov.

Diapausing adult female mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in overwintering sites in Estonia in 2023–2024: Species composition and variation

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
First comprehensive survey of overwintering mosquitoes in Estonia, documenting 5286 female mosquitoes collected from 18 subterranean overwintering sites. The Culex pipiens/Culex torrentium group dominated overwintering assemblages, representing 96.6% of all analysed specimens. Molecular analyses revealed a higher proportion of Cx.

Wetland plant growth in recycled glass sand versus dredged river sand: evaluating a new resource for coastal restoration

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Sand made from recycled glass cullet could supplement limited dredged river sand (dredge) in coastal wetland restorations; however, its suitability for wetland plants is unknown. In two experiments, we compared the biomass of several wetland plants in recycled glass sand to growth in dredge.

Field‐grown coastal dune plants exhibit similar survival, growth, and biomass in recycled glass substrate and natural beach sand

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Restoration of coastal dunes following tropical storm events often requires renourishment of sand substrate dredged from offshore sources, although dredging has well‐described negative ecological impacts and high economic costs. As a potential solution, recycled glass sand (cullet) made from crushed glass bottles has been proposed as a potential ...

Physical and chemical characterization of recycled glass sand for environmental restoration

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction We rely on coastal resources for food, water, and energy. However, over 75% of U.S. coastlines are eroding. Concurrently, the U.S. recycles less glass than other developed countries, landfilling hundreds of millions of tons every year.

Black mangrove growth and root architecture in recycled glass sand: testing a new substrate for coastal restoration

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
As coastal regions experience accelerating land loss, artificial substrates may be useful in restoration efforts to replenish sediment and facilitate plant colonization. Recycled glass sand is a potential artificial substrate for marsh building due to its sustainability, availability, and similarity to natural substrates.

Rapid and Large Changes in Coastal Wetland Structure in China's Four Major River Deltas

Global Change Biology, 2023
Coastal wetlands provide essential ecosystem goods and services but are extremely vulnerable to sea‐level rise, extreme climate, and human activities, especially the coastal wetlands in large river deltas, which are regarded as “natural recorders” of ...

Microbiology of wetlands and the carbon cycle in coastal wetland mediated by microorganisms.

Science of The Total Environment
Wetlands are highly diverse and productive and are among the three most important natural ecosystems worldwide, among which coastal wetlands are particularly valuable because they have been shown to provide important functions for human populations. They

Effects of coastal wetland reclamation on soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus in China: A meta‐analysis

Land Degradation & Development, 2023
The reclamation of coastal wetlands for agriculture has expanded considerably over the last 40 years in China. Wetland reclamation could substantially alter soil properties, but so far, a systematic analysis of the changes in soil chemical elements after
