The Origins and Early History of the Steamer Albatross, 1880–18 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Spencer Fullerton Baird (Fig. 1), a noted systematic zoologist and builder of scientific institutions in 19th century America, persuaded the U.S. Congress to establish the United States Commission of Fish and Fisheries1 in March 1871. At that time, Baird

Community‐based marine restoration to generate social licence and ecological knowledge for upscaling oyster reef restoration

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Community‐led restoration operates at the intersection of ecological feasibility and social acceptability. In the marine realm, restoration is challenging due to gaps in ecological knowledge on how and where to restore lost ecosystems and limited public engagement that provides social licence for restoration.

Global distribution and contexts of interactions between humans and non‐human primates: A systematic review

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the frequency and socio‐ecological drivers of contacts between humans and non‐human primates (NHPs) is crucial for enhancing coexistence that favours NHP conservation, while limiting negative consequences such as aggressions and cross‐species disease transmission.

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

open access: yesResults 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 ...

Sharing the light, impact of solar parks on plant productivity, soil microbes and soil organic matter

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Solar parks enable renewable energy production at a large scale, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, the effects of this change in land use on vegetation and soil health are still largely unknown. In this study, we determined the impacts of solar parks on vegetation, soil biota and soil carbon between and below solar panels.

The effects of flower supplementation on pollinators and pollination along an urbanisation gradient

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Enhancing urban greenspaces for pollinator communities by planting flower patches is increasingly common, but their efficacy for different groups of insects (bees, hoverflies and moths) is unclear. Our city‐scale experiment demonstrated that the effect of flower patches on pollinators is complex, and direct benefits to specific insects are difficult to

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

open access: yesApplied 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.

Environmental DNA‐based RPA‐CRISPR/Cas12a assay for on‐site detection of chironomid larvae in aquatic environments

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
An environmental DNA (eDNA)‐based recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA)‐CRISPR/Cas12a assay enables rapid, specific, and on‐site detection of chironomids, supporting early warning, and ecological monitoring in freshwater environments. Abstract BACKGROUND Freshwater chironomid midges pose a significant threat to drinking water quality and ...

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

open access: yesFlow
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
