Structural and functional biological assessment of aggregate dredging intensity on the Belgian part of the North Sea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Marine aggregate dredging in the Belgian part of the North Sea (BPNS) is restricted to four dedicated concession zones. Within these zones, there are areas under different dredging pressure, but with the advantage that these are situated within a similar

Impacts of a Century‐Old Urban Dam on Water Quality and Habitat Composition, Flint River, Flint, MI

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dams significantly influence river ecosystems worldwide, fragmenting habitats, altering sediment transport, and reducing biodiversity. Urban rivers are especially vulnerable, where dams compound stressors such as channelization, pollution, and degraded riparian zones. In response, dam removals are a growing restoration tool globally.

Early recolonization of a dredged lowland river by dragonflies (Insecta: Odonata)

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2016
The influence of dredging on the dragonfly assemblages of the small regulated lowland River Krąpiel (north-western Poland) was analyzed a short time after the dredging. Dragonfly assemblages were destroyed, but they began to recover rapidly.

Does a decision support tool designed to depict West Nile virus risk explain variation in ruffed grouse Bonasa umbellus use of managed forests?

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Infectious diseases are commonly cited as significant contributors to wildlife population declines. It is, therefore, important to investigate the extent to which tools designed to mitigate the effects of infectious diseases explain wildlife responses to habitat management.

Using a live‐streaming webcam to assess the behavioural responses of waterbirds to changes in the density of swans Cygnus spp.

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife research has benefitted from the development of new methods that allow data to be collected remotely, with less disturbance to focal animals. The proliferation of livestreaming webcams, for example, those used by nature reserves for public engagement purposes, have offered new possibilities for the study of wildlife behaviour.
