Aquatic food webs in restored marshes: a stable‐isotope approach in the Gironde estuary (SW France)
Intertidal marshes are important habitats for nekton. However, historical draining and dyking hampered European coastal wetlands. Marsh restoration is therefore critical not only to improve their capacity to protect coastal lines but also to rehabilitate their ecological functionalities. The benefits of intertidal marsh restoration for nekton community

Potential causes of mortality for horseshoe crabs (Limulus polyphemus) during the biomedical bleeding process [PDF]
Biomedical companies catch and bleed horseshoe crabs for the production of Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL), a product used for protecting public health (Berkson and Shuster, 1999).

The global decline of seagrass causes concern regarding the loss of important ecosystem services, such as increased marine biodiversity. Consequently, restoration projects have gained popularity among scientists and local communities. However, for restoration to be successful, certain challenges must be considered and mitigated.

Restoration of coastal dunes following tropical storm events often requires renourishment of sand substrate dredged from offshore sources, although dredging has well‐described negative ecological impacts and high economic costs. As a potential solution, recycled glass sand (cullet) made from crushed glass bottles has been proposed as a potential ...

Managing Invasive Species: How Much Do We Spend? [PDF]
Invasive species: they’re along roadways and up mountain trails; they’re in lakes and along the coast; chances are they’re in your yard. You might not recognize them for what they are—plants or animals not native to Alaska, brought here accidentally or

Restoration of a marsh‐upland ecotone specialist: the role of elevation, amendment, and facilitation
Abstract Introduction Restoration of ecotone specialists can be challenging, since ecotones are defined by steep environmental and competition gradients. Restoration success is enhanced by understanding the factors that limit the range of ecotone specialists in the transition zone.
