Hydrodynamic and water quality modelling of the lower kaituna river and maketu estuary

, 2007
The Maketu Estuary is a shallow intertidal estuary (2.3 km2) located in the Bay of Plenty, North Island, New Zealand. The Kaituna River contributes the largest freshwater flow into the estuary through control gates.

Coastal currents adjacent to the Caeté Estuary, Pará Region, North Brazil

, 2010
We examined and compared tidal currents and water column structure between a near-shore station (12 km from the coast) and an offshore station (32 km from the coast) adjacent to the Caeté River, Pará Region, Brazil. Although the coastal system of Pará is

Trends in thunderstorm days, lightning activity, squalls and the environmental factors in Hong Kong

Weather, EarlyView.
This study analyses trends in Hong Kong's convective weather using long‐term observer‐based and shorter‐term instrument‐based data. Annual thunderstorm days increased significantly by 1.9 days decade−1 in 1947–2024, notably in June–September, consistent with increasingly favourable warm‐season environments for thunderstorms.

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.

Tidal responses of the semi-enclosed Bohai Sea to the long-term expansion of the Yellow River Delta

Frontiers in Marine Science
River deltas, formed by fluvial sediment accumulation, act as dynamic interfaces between land and sea. The Yellow River Delta (YRD) has prograded rapidly into the semi-enclosed shallow Bohai Sea (BS) over the past century.

Lures do not increase box‐trapping success of an endangered felid in South Texas

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We used a randomized design and linear regression to assess whether visual (compact disc [CD] and ribbon), and olfactory (musk and ocelot urine) lures would increase capture success of three mesocarnivores (ocelots [Leopardus pardalis], bobcats [Lynx rufus], and coyotes [Canis latrans]) with box traps baited with a live bird from December 2023 to April

What processes control the net currents through shallow straits? A review with application to the Bohai Strait, China

, 2015
We review the key processes controlling the net water circulation in shallow straits. The circulation is mainly barotropic, driven by the difference in mean sea level and tides on either side of the strait, the wind, the meandering of the currents in the

Pittman‐Robertson and Dingell‐Johnson: A Congressional endorsement of state supremacy over wildlife?

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pittman–Robertson Act of 1937 (PR) and the Dingell–Johnson Act of 1950 (DJ) provide states with substantial capacity to manage fish and wildlife by directing revenue from federal excise taxes on hunting and fishing equipment to states. The precise scope of state and federal wildlife management authority has been a topic of debate among ...

Impact of Longshore Currents and Wave Energy on Estuary Morphodynamics: A Case Study of Selagan Jaya Beach: Pengaruh Arus Pantai Panjang dan Energi Gelombang terhadap Morfodinamika Muara: Studi Kasus Pantai Selagan Jaya

, 2023
Estuarine morphology is profoundly influenced by dynamic coastal processes, particularly the interplay of longshore currents and wave energy. This study delves into the evolving Selagan Jaya River estuary, characterized by changing mouth morphology ...

Mobile consumers influence the shoreward edge of intertidal seagrass ecosystems

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Ecological paradigms suggest that the environmentally stressful edge of a habitat is determined by physical factors. The work finds that, counter to these paradigms, an environmentally stressful edge can also be impacted by biotic interactions and are more complex than suggested.
