International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Why do some informal neighborhoods receive public investment while others are neglected or evicted? This article addresses the inconsistent governmental responses to informal settlements in Jakarta, Indonesia, during the democratic period. State actions range from violent evictions to tolerance and community‐led improvements.

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.

Intact coastal nursery rearing amid climate‐driven phenological shifts in threatened salmon
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Literature linking phenology to climate has proliferated in recent decades and shows that climate change has reorganized seasonal opportunities worldwide. However, this literature often quantifies changes in point measures of timing (e.g., beginnings and peaks) without context about duration (e.g., rearing season length) or performance (e.g ...

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract We used an ecological niche theory framework integrating physiological and behavioural ecology to understand interspecific differentiation of juveniles of four Antarctic fishes: Trematomus bernacchii, Trematomus pennellii, Trematomus nicolai and Pagothenia borchgrevinki.

Wave Transmission Characteristics of the Rapidly Installed Modular Floating Breakwaters [PDF]
, 2016 Many military and naval operations have required some kind of wave attenuating system that can be installed rapidly for the operations to be carried out smoothly and be uninstalled when the operations have finished.

Impact of light pollution on fishes: Mechanisms and ecological consequences
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The increasing prevalence of artificial light at night (ALAN) is of growing ecological concern. By altering natural light regimes, ALAN affects the behaviour, physiology and life‐history of organisms. While research has largely focused on terrestrial ecosystems, aquatic ecosystems are increasingly exposed.

That sinkin’ feeling: Environmentally induced distress on a disappearing island
Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Residents of Tangier Island, Virginia, a subsiding island in the Chesapeake Bay, embody psychosocial dimensions of environmental change. Analysis of ethnographic data shows islanders’ experiences and articulations of anxiety, panic, and despair as “that sinkin’ feeling,” resulting from the stress of living with the long‐term threat of imminent

Sea‐Level Rise Adaptation and Collaboration in Polycentric Governance: A Comparison of Three Regions
Public Administration Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Adaptation to sea‐level rise confronts coastal communities worldwide with a new set of collective action problems that require collaboration. When does collaboration result in concrete action for adaptation? To address this question, we combine the Ecology of Games and Collaborative Governance frameworks using a comparative analysis of three ...
