The Sediments in the Beibu Gulf Reveal Dramatic Paleoenvironmental Changes and Climate Events over the Past ~20,000 Years

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
The geochemical characteristics of a 2.1 m BBW25 core, collected from the Beibu Gulf, have been investigated in terms of the major and trace elements, organic matter, and CaCO3 and AMS 14C dating by XRF, ICP-OES, ICP-MS, and more.

Functional divergence drives the prevalence of low‐abundance species in bat assemblages

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological communities are structured by a few common species, while most occur at low abundance. Understanding the drivers of this widespread pattern raises fundamental questions about community assembly rules and is important for applied ecology for identifying ...

Indicators for management of coral reefs and their applications to marine protected areas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Informed planning and decision-making in the management of natural resources requires an ability to integrate complex interactions in ecosystems and communicate these effectively to stakeholders. This involves coping with three fundamental dilemmas.

Effects of temperature and browning on the functional response of a freshwater top predator

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study explores for the first time how temperature and browning affect the functional response of a freshwater piscivore, the northern pike. The authors find surprisingly weak effects of browning, challenging visual foraging theory. Pike displayed a rare dome‐shaped functional response in cold clear water, potentially driven by seasonal changes in ...

Rising temperature non‐additively alters how different dimensions of biodiversity affect ecosystem‐scale processes

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
The authors distil how dimensions of biodiversity drive ecosystem processes with increasing temperature. Specifically, species physiology more greatly affected ecosystem primary production than did foraging behaviour, and physiology mediated non‐additive interactions with temperature.

Animal translations: AI and the intelligibility of non‐human worlds Traduire l'animal : l'IA et l'intelligibilité des mondes non humains

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Amid the general sense of worry that large language models will soon drown out human voices, some researchers are optimistic that machine learning will allow humans to listen to and understand animal voices to an unprecedented extent. As part of a broader project aimed at interspecies communication, a loosely connected set of animal behaviourists, AI ...

300 Years of Degradation in Wales Estuaries and Coasts

open access: yesNatural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The world's oceans are in a severe state of degradation, yet our understanding of that degradation is often based on changes observed only in the past 20–50 years. This narrow view leads to marine conservation efforts that aim to preserve already degraded ecosystems, shaped by shifted ecological baselines.

Coral reefs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Ovaj rad opisuje koralje (Anthozoa) i njihove strukture - koraljne grebene. Koraljni grebeni su ekosustavi velike bioraznolikosti, koji rastu samo u toplim, plitkim i bistrim morima.
