Deciphering Multi-Scale Anthropogenic Drivers of River Water Quality: A Synergistic ML-GAM Cascade Framework with Sentinel-2

open access: yesRemote Sensing
While understanding the drivers of river water quality is crucial, the dependence on ground observations hinders the accurate quantification of driver thresholds, as well as the scale-dependent effects of buffer zones.

Sea-Level Rise and Coastal Wetlands [PDF]

open access: yesAMBIO, 2014
This paper seeks to quantify the impact of a1-m sea-level rise on coastal wetlands in 86 developing countries and territories. It is found that approximately 68 % of coastal wetlands in these countries are at risk. A large percentage of this estimated loss is found in Europe and Central Asia, East Asia, and the Pacific, as well as in the Middle East ...

A Systemic Model for Understanding Business Interactions With Biodiversity and Ecosystems

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation represent critical threats to human well‐being and economic resilience, challenging businesses to understand and manage their interdependence with natural systems. This study develops a systemic framework—the BioModel—that elucidates the reciprocal relationship between businesses, biodiversity, and ...

Genome-Wide Characterization of Four Gastropod Species Ionotropic Receptors Reveals Diet-Linked Evolutionary Patterns of Functional Divergence

open access: yesAnimals
Ionotropic receptors (IRs) are a divergent subfamily of ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) that detect olfactory and environmental cues, influencing behaviors such as foraging and adaptation.

Biodiversity in salt marshes: from the patrimonial value to the ecosystem functioning. The case study of the Mont Saint-Michel bay. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Until 1979, European salt marshes were known only through the inventories of fauna and especially of flora. On such criteria, the salt marshes of the Mont-Saint-Michel bay (France) were regarded as most significant of the French coasts.

Geodiversity is an inseparable but underutilized aspect of ecological connectivity assessments under climate change

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Conservation has shifted towards a climate change adaptation approach in which expected species range shifts are increasingly considered to mitigate effects of climate change and habitat fragmentation on biodiversity. As part of this, ecological connectivity needs to be ensured to support gene flow and viable populations in the face of changing ...

Habitat complexity and prey composition shape an apex predator's habitat use across contrasting landscapes

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
The spatial ecology of stalk‐and‐ambush predators like the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx depends on prey availability and environmental features, yet the relative roles of these factors remain unclear at large spatial scales. In this study, we analysed lynx habitat use across central and southern Finland using snow‐track data from the Wildlife Triangle ...
