IMPACT OF COASTAL WETLAND RESTORATION STRATEGIES IN THE CHONGMING DONGTAN WETLANDS, CHINA: WATERBIRD COMMUNITY COMPOSITION AS AN INDICATOR [PDF]

, 2014
This paper aims to evaluate the success of coastal wetland restoration by quantifying the waterbird community composition at three restored sites and on one natural coastal wetland, which served as a reference site, from September 2011 to May 2012 in ...

Holocene climate oscillations, seismotectonic events and human–environmental interactions reconstructed from the Giannades palaeolake on Corfu (Eastern Mediterranean, Greece)

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Mediterranean is particularly sensitive to rapid climate changes (RCCs) during the Holocene. An increasing number of natural climate archives revealed that socio‐economic developments were influenced by such RCCs since the Palaeolithic. However, multi‐millennial and high‐resolution archives are still rare and often located in mountainous ...

Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Immune and Antioxidant Defense Mechanisms in the Eriocheir japonica sinensis after Exposure to Ammonia

Animals
As a key species in freshwater aquaculture, Eriocheir japonica sinensis was subjected to ammonia stress to assess its impact on the hepatopancreas. A total of 4007 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between control and treatment groups,

A multidisciplinary coastal vulnerability assessment for local government focused on ecosystems, Santa Barbara area, California [PDF]

, 2019
Incorporating coastal ecosystems in climate adaptation planning is needed to maintain the well-being of both natural and human systems. Our vulnerability study uses a multidisciplinary approach to evaluate climate change vulnerability of an urbanized ...

Holocene palaeoenvironmental reconstruction of sea level, coastal and vegetation changes along the southern Solway Firth, United Kingdom

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Holocene relative sea level (RSL) changes were reconstructed from four sites along the less‐studied southern Solway Firth. A multiproxy approach, including lithostratigraphical and biostratigraphical analyses, combined with radiocarbon dating, produced ten sea level index points (SLIPs).

Indirect effects of fast‐growing urban development on wildlife in a coastal protected area of Costa Rica

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We studied the effects of urban growth on wildlife near Parque Nacional Marino las Baulas, Costa Rica. Since 1991, buildings increased 1007%, mainly in the buffer zone. We identified eight native species extracting garbage from containers, with raccoons (Procyon lotor) comprising most detections (84%), and four other species being potential sea turtle ...

Comparative Transcriptomics and Intestinal Microbiome Analysis Provide Insights into the Semi-Terrestrial Adaptation of Helice tientsinensis

Animals
Helice tientsinensis, a Grapsidae family member, can adapt to terrestrial and semi-terrestrial environments. This study used transcriptomic and microbiome analyses to explore its adaptation mechanisms.

Increasing Rates of Carbon Burial in Southwest Florida Coastal Wetlands

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, 2020
Rates of organic carbon (OC) burial in some coastal wetlands appear to be greater in recent years than they were in the past. Possible explanations include ongoing mineralization of older OC or the influence of an unaccounted‐for artifact of the methods ...

Spatiotemporal Fire Patterns and Post‐fire Forest Change in Peru (2000–2021)

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire is increasingly more frequent and severe in many tropical regions, leading to significant forest loss, diminished biodiversity, and reduced Nature's contributions to people (NCPs). In this study, we analyzed the spatiotemporal patterns of fire in Peru and its regions, focusing on: (1) burned area, (2) size, and (3) number of fires, using ...

Ferritin Heavy-like subunit is involved in the innate immune defense of the red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii

Frontiers in Immunology
Iron-binding proteins, known as ferritins, play pivotal roles in immunological response, detoxification, and iron storage. Despite their significance to organisms, little is known about how they affect the immunological system of the red swamp crayfish ...
