Characterising fine‐scale habitat associations for range expanding species with limited data: a case study on the West Nile Virus vector, Culex modestus

Oikos, EarlyView.
The ecological and epidemiological consequences of species expanding into new areas are growing concomitantly with climate change. Those aiming to monitor species expanding in range must make optimal use of finite resources to deliver effective surveillance capable of detecting new incursions and range expansions.

Saltmarsh reclamation enhances plant species richness and reduces soil macrofaunal biomass by regulating soil properties through elevation

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Globally, saltmarsh reclamation results in significant losses of coastal wetlands. However, the impacts on above- and below-ground biodiversity and the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. We hypothesized that saltmarsh reclamation differently

Environmental Drivers of Dissolved Organic Matter Molecular Composition in the Delaware Estuary

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2016
Estuaries as connectors of freshwater and marine aquatic systems are hotspots of biogeochemical element cycling. In one of the best studied temperate estuaries, the Delaware Estuary (USA), we investigated the variability of dissolved organic matter (DOM)

The Return of the Allis Shad (Alosa alosa) to the Lower Navigable Reaches of the Seine: Locks Play a Role

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In France, it is estimated that shads (Alosa spp.) have lost 69% of their historical range, mainly due to disrupted river connectivity. After an absence of one century, signs of their return in the Seine River have been recorded over the past two decades: adult and juvenile specimens have been caught by anglers or recorded at video‐counting ...

Effects of Beach Nourishment Design Parameters on Typhoon-Induced Morphological Evolution Under Typhoon Conditions

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Island beaches are key natural barriers against typhoons. Artificial nourishment is the main restoration method, yet how its design parameters affect typhoon-driven erosion–deposition remains unclear.
