300 Years of Degradation in Wales Estuaries and Coasts

Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The world's oceans are in a severe state of degradation, yet our understanding of that degradation is often based on changes observed only in the past 20–50 years. This narrow view leads to marine conservation efforts that aim to preserve already degraded ecosystems, shaped by shifted ecological baselines.

Flow regime variability and wastewater pollution in estuarine systems: a longitudinal assessment of ecological and societal impacts in South Africa’s Eastern Cape

Frontiers in Marine Science
Estuaries are vital socio-ecological systems that support biodiversity, provide nursery habitats, and deliver essential ecosystem services for human well-being. This study focuses on highly impacted estuarine systems affected by chronic wastewater inputs

Dutch dilemma: Housing prices and flood risk exposure

Real Estate Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This article studies the impact of flood risk exposure on housing prices in a major river delta. Analyzing 1.8 million property transactions from 1998 to 2023 in the Netherlands, we find an average price discount of 1.1%. We observe considerable heterogeneity in price effects driven by exposure intensity, institutional settings that vary ...

Predicting Seiche-Impacted Estuarine Water Levels with Machine Learning Methods

Coasts
In estuarine environments, machine learning (ML) methods have been widely applied to predict water-level variations prone to flooding. However, most studies have focused on low-frequency components driven by tides and surges, neglecting high-frequency ...

Modeling Skin Mark Temporal Variations to Estimate the Sex of Delphinids with Low Sexual Dimorphism: Implications for Management and Conservation

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This work aimed to apply the principles of skin mark analysis to a cetacean species to build a sex‐discrimination model exclusively based on photographic material. Relevant differences between sexes emerged in markings, with males presenting more social, aggression‐related, and fishing‐related marks overall, and a stronger tendency of mark accumulation

Sensory Biology of the Franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei, Pontoporiidae, Cetartiodactyla): Ontogenetic Modifications of Vibrissae and Vibrissal Crypts

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The transition of cetaceans from a terrestrial to an aquatic environment involved a crucial sensory adaptation to environments with limited visibility. Vibrissae, important mechanoreceptors, undergo an ontogenetic transformation in odontocetes. This research describes the histomorphology of vibrissae and crypts at different developmental stages ...

Flexible specification of directional spatial processes for eigenvector maps

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding spatial structure is crucial when analysing species distributions, biodiversity and community dynamics. Spatial analysis using eigenvector maps provides a general framework for capturing spatial patterns in ecological data. Among these methods, asymmetric eigenvector maps (AEM) are particularly useful for capturing asymmetric ...

Cache‐Cache: Dans les souffles du Grand Fleuve…

Anthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Between ventriloquism and divination, devotion and consecration, an old and sublime marine game unfolds each day, with living breaths shared in the waters of the great river. In Tadoussac, on the north shore of the St. Lawrence Estuary, at the mouth of the Saguenay, the rumor of whales has long resonated.

Late Iron Age and Early Roman Brooches From the Lower Rhine Area: Provenance of the Metal Supply Traced Through Lead Isotopes

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Geochemical analysis of five brooch types from the Lower Rhine area dated to the last century bc and first century ad is used to constrain resource use, exchange and mobility. Lead isotope ratios demonstrate an Iberian provenance for copper in bronze Late Iron Age brooches.
