A rapid shift in migration schedule of an Austral shorebird is linked to a changing southern climate oscillation

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Global climate change is reshaping the schedules and routes of migratory birds, which can disrupt annual cycles, ecological interactions and the fitness trade‐offs of migrating or staying resident. In particular, climate change has led to advances in arrival at the breeding grounds and to shifts in the timing of post‐breeding migration, whereby both ...

Six Decades of the Sterile Insect Technique Applied to Ceratitis capitata in Israel: Evolution, Methodology and Socio‐Economic Perspectives

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata; Medfly) has been a primary agricultural pest in Israel for over a century. While chemical control remains the prevalent choice for its management, the integration of the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) into the management programme for this pest has been explored and implemented in various ...

Booming Sand Dunes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
"Booming" sand dunes are able to produce low-frequency sound that resembles a pure note from a music instrument. The sound has a dominant audible frequency (70-105 Hz) and several higher harmonics and may be heard from far distances away.

Dune migration and slip face advancement in the Rabe Crater dune field, Mars

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2006
Eight overlapping images of a dune slip face in Rabe Crater (35°E, 44°S) from the Mars Global Surveyor Mars Orbiter Camera show changes interpreted to be multiple grainflow events that would indicate present‐day sand saltation and dune migration. New occurrences of these features appear sporadically throughout late southern summer and early fall, and ...

Spatial variation in morphological traits of natural Haloxylon ammodendron populations on the eastern margin of the Badain Jaran Desert

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Natural Haloxylon ammodendron populations on the eastern margin of the Badain Jaran Desert showed size‐associated differences in plant height, crown diameter, and spatial patterns among stem‐base diameter classes. These patterns describe morphological spatial variation but do not establish specific environmental drivers.

Field‐based evaluation of glass cullet as a supplementary sediment source for coastal restoration

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
There is an ever‐increasing demand for sand to support projects like beach nourishment and dune restoration, but dredging and mining sand causes environmental damage. Demonstrating the environmental and ecological compatibility of crushed and ground glass known as cullet to support coastal restoration projects could simultaneously divert waste from ...

Slowdown of Dune Migration in East Asia's Inland Deserts: A 35‐Year Response to Wind Stilling

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Global terrestrial stilling, the recent decrease in near‐surface wind speeds, has significant environmental impacts, including reduced dust storms and vegetation recovery in East Asia's drylands. However, direct evidence of stilling effects on sand dunes
