Effects of combined dredging-related stressors on sponges: a laboratory approach using realistic scenarios

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Dredging can cause increased suspended sediment concentrations (SSCs), light attenuation and sedimentation in marine communities. In order to determine the combined effects of dredging-related pressures on adult sponges, three species spanning different ...

The wolf is back! Non‐consumptive effects of the return of a large carnivore on the use of supplementary feeding sites by roe deer

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding how prey species tradeoff predation risk and resource acquisition is particularly important for advancing our knowledge of predator–prey relationships. We investigated this by studying the use of concentrated anthropogenic resources, namely supplementary feeding sites, by roe deer Capreolus capreolus before and after grey wolf Canis lupus

Rock solid: winter ecology of boreal bats at natural hibernation sites

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Overwintering bats at northerly latitudes spend up to eight months a year in a state of dormancy: a period characterised by extended use of torpor, but not an absolute lack of activity. Although this period constitutes a majority of their yearly cycle, little is known about their ecology during this time, because of the cryptic behaviour of bats ...

Unraveling the risk of dredging on river bars for mineral sand mining: an engineering geological approach

open access: yesDiscover Geoscience
Sand mining using dredging technology from channel bars is a common technique worldwide. To minimize adverse effects of dredging, geo-engineering nature of the soil should be evaluated before mining.

Context matters: A meta‐analysis of the variable impact of transgenerational and developmental plasticity on responses to stress

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understanding organisms' abilities to adapt and acclimate to stressors in their environments is essential for predicting the distributions and persistence of species and populations during environmental change.

A 1-dimensional-two-layer transient drift-flux model for hydraulic transport pipelines: modelling and experiments of bed layer erosion and density wave amplification

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics
Hydraulic transport pipelines in the dredging, mining and deep sea mining are designed using steady-state methods. However, these methods cannot predict density wave formation.
