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

Wildlife 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.

Prey group cohesion mediates the outcome of predator–prey interactions under artificial lighting

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The highest rates of piscivorous predation in the field have been recorded during crepuscular light levels associated with sunrise and sunset or artificial lighting at night (ALAN).

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.

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.

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.

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.

The birth of an earth being: ‘Rights of nature’ in Brazilian Amazonia and elsewhere Naissance d'un être de la terre : « droits de la nature » en Amazonie brésilienne et ailleurs

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
In June 2023, the Laje River, located in the traditional territory of the Wari’ Indigenous people in Rondônia, Brazil, was declared a legal entity, an earth being, with rights, following the co‐ordinated action of an indigenous councillor and non‐indigenous activists.

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 ...
