Inequalities in intraspecific plant–lemur interactions drive seed dispersal patterns

Oikos, EarlyView.
Biotic interactions occur between individuals and accumulate to shape species‐level interaction structure across a community. Skewed interaction structures, where a few individuals are highly connected and most have few interactions, are increasingly identified at the individual‐level.

A plant–pollinator invasional meltdown: the Japanese pagoda tree Styphnolobium japonicum facilitates the invasion of the giant resin bee Megachile sculpturalis

Oikos, EarlyView.
An invasional meltdown can occur when a non‐native species facilitates the spread of another non‐native species in the invaded area, increasing its likelihood of survival or its ecological impact. Plant–pollinator systems pose an exceptional study system to test this concept, which remains poorly known.

Climate‐driven intraspecific shifts in seed germination phenology: Consequences for native temperate woodland restoration and regeneration

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As climate change alters seasonal patterns, temperate tree populations face a growing risk of phenological mismatch, where seed dispersal and germination no longer align with favourable conditions for survival. This study predicted how warming by the end of the century will affect seed dormancy breaking and germination in populations of three UK tree ...

Impact of operational parameters on turbidity generation in cutter suction dredging: Insights from a numerical model and sensitivity analysis

Applied Ocean Research
The cutter suction dredger (CSD) is one of the main vessels utilized in the dredging industry. The dynamic actions related to its rotating cutter head are the main trigger for sediment release and turbidity generation by this vessel.

Peri‐urban agroforestry for climate mitigation in West Africa: Structural diversity and functional traits as key drivers of carbon storage

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Peri‐urban areas in West Africa are expanding rapidly, often with limited planning and growing exposure to climate risks. Our study shows that agroforestry systems in these landscapes, especially diverse home gardens, can store substantial amounts of carbon when they include structurally complex stands and species with traits that favor biomass ...

Valorization of saline dredged sludge by low-carbon geopolymer production: Salt content impact, mechanisms, and carbon emissions

Results in Engineering
This study demonstrates a green and low-carbon approach for valorizing saline dredged sludge (DS) by producing geopolymers from DS combined with fly ash (FA) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), activated by an alkaline activator ...

Environmental monitoring of dredging at the Port of Angra dos Reis

Holos, 2019
Dredging activities in port areas are intended to expand the ports’ activities and maintain adequate depth in the access channels, berthing areas and basins of evolution. The environmental license granted for maintenance dredging in the port of Angra dos

Experimental dissection of phenotypic variation for quantitative disease resistance in canola (Brassica napus) – Leptosphaeria maculans interactions

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates how quantitative resistance to Leptosphaeria maculans in canola is experimentally estimated through multi‐environment replicated trials measuring crown canker severity. Genotype, environment and pathogen sources feed into phenotyping, followed by variance partitioning using mixed models and beta regression to ...

Experimental and numerical flow field study of submerged translating impinging inclined water jets

Flow
This study investigates the influence of multiple jet parameters on the flow field of translating impinging inclined water jets. We conducted full-scale stereoscopic particle image velocimetry and pressure measurements and three-dimensional computational

Can Environmental Markets Pay for More Sustainable Farm Dams? A Cost–Benefit Analysis

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farm dams are widespread artificial waterbodies that play a critical role in agricultural water security. Enhancing these systems through sustainable interventions such as fencing, hardened access points, and revegetation can improve water quality and deliver carbon and biodiversity co‐benefits.
