Assessment of Metal Contamination and Human Health Risk in the Buffalo River Estuary, Eastern Cape, South Africa

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metal contamination in estuarine environments poses environmental and public health concerns, particularly where surface waters support domestic and subsistence uses. This study assessed the seasonal distribution, controlling mechanisms, and non‐carcinogenic health risks of selected metals (Mg, Al, Ba, Fe, Mn, and Zn) in the Buffalo River ...

Response of Size-Fractionated Phytoplankton to Environmental Variables in Gwangyang Bay Focusing on the Role of Small Phytoplankton

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Responses of size-fractionated phytoplankton to environmental variables—particularly temperature, euphotic depth, and ammonium—were investigated in Gwangyang Bay to identify the phytoplankton groups responsible for estuarine blooms.

Life history attributes influencing metabolic variation in an estuarine fish

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Considering that energy availability and oxygen transport potential are limited in supplying metabolic requirements, all animals face trade‐offs between competing metabolic demands.

Dynamics of a macrotidal estuary along 400 years based on historical maps and remote sensing: Araguari river, Amazon coast, Brazil

Revista Brasileira de Geomorfologia
Estuaries are environments subject to rapid morphological changes driven by variations in hydromorphological and climatic patterns. On the Amazon coast, these transformations have also been intensified by anthropogenic processes.

Waterbird zoogeochemical effects shape wetland nutrient dynamics and algal communities in Laurentian Great Lakes coastal freshwater wetlands

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Distinct waterbird species influence nutrient cycling through guano contributions in Great Lakes coastal wetlands. Waterbird‐derived nutrients favour distinct algal communities and wetland sediments rapidly remove waterbird nutrients via biogeochemical processes.

Scenario-Based Assessment of Water Quality and Ecological Impacts of Pump Station Overflows in a Peri-Urban Estuary

Hydrology
Wastewater overflows (WOs) are a growing concern for water quality and ecological health in urban estuaries. This study provides a robust water quality and ecological assessment of WOs from four pump stations discharging into the Waimea Estuary, Aotearoa,

The Swanscombe fossil at 90: revisiting its phylogeny, taxonomy, and place in human origins Le fossile de Swanscombe, 90 ans après : retour sur sa place phylogénique, taxonomique et dans les origines de l'humanité

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
The year 2025 marked the ninetieth since a fossil hominin occipital bone was discovered in Swanscombe, southeast England. In subsequent years, its parietal bones were found, producing what remains the oldest partial cranium from Britain today. In the earliest analyses, it was interpreted as a descendant of the infamous fraudulent fossil Piltdown Man ...

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.
