Disrupting the herd: Recreational boating alters group dispersion within beluga whale herds

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Recreational boating in beluga habitat remains poorly documented. Using land‐based observations in the Saguenay Fjord (Quebec, Canada), we show that increasing recreational boat numbers are associated with a higher probability of changes in beluga herd dispersion, suggesting behavioral disturbance and the need to integrate recreational boating into ...

Individual movement modeling expands the power of migratory species observations: North Atlantic right whale case study

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding a population's distribution depends on observing the presence and movement of individuals throughout their range. For highly mobile marine species, these observations typically rely on high effort monitoring programs. Tracking enough individuals to understand trends in movement behavior is not always logistically feasible, and ...

Effects of preservatives and poisons on the elemental and isotopic composition of freshwater particulate organic matter

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Sediment traps, often used in tandem with preservatives or poisons, are widely used for the collection of particulate organic matter (POM), providing insight into the source to sink mechanisms that shape major biogeochemical cycles and sedimentary carbon sequestration.

Polymer and Polymer Composite‐Based Electrochemical Sensors for Real‐Time Detection of River Water Targeted Endocrine Disruptors

Macromolecular Symposia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are pervasive environmental contaminants that interfere with hormone function and pose significant risks to ecosystems and human health. Their presence in river water necessitates sensitive, selective, and real‐time detection methods for effective monitoring and mitigation.

Sustainable Metal Recovery From E‐Waste: Exploring Greener Leachates in Hydrometallurgical Processes

MetalMat, EarlyView.
Recycling of electronic waste to synthesize valuable metals using green leachate. ABSTRACT The accumulation of electronic waste (e‐waste) poses environmental hazards and leads to the loss of valuable metals such as gold, silver, copper, and rare earth elements.

T(w)o Patch or Not T(w)o Patch: A Novel Biocontrol Model

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A number of top‐down biocontrol models have been proposed where the introduced predators' efficacy is enhanced via the provision of additional food (AF). However, if the predator has a pest‐dependent monotone functional response, pest extinction is unattainable. In the current manuscript, we propose a model where a predator with pest‐dependent

Alpine flora of Kashmir Himalaya: floristic assessment, life history traits and threat status

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Alpine ecosystems in the Himalaya are considered to be at a higher risk to anthropogenic global change drivers. The Kashmir Himalaya, located in the north‐western side of the Himalayan biodiversity hotspot, harbors a diverse alpine flora, which remains systematically little investigated.

Global analysis of annual survival among shorebirds reveals a negative effect of migration distance and a decline in recent decades

Oikos, EarlyView.
Annual survival is a key demographic parameter driving population trends in wildlife populations. However, despite numerous species‐specific or regional studies, global reviews of the factors affecting the survival of declining taxa remain scarce. Here, we investigated annual survival of fledged immature and adult shorebirds, a globally‐distributed and

Drivers of individual plant species contributions to β‐diversity are scale‐dependent

Oikos, EarlyView.
Species introductions and local extinctions of native species are driving biotic homogenisation in plant communities by reducing β‐diversity. Individual species vary in their contributions to β‐diversity (species contribution to β‐diversity; species‐β), yet our understanding of how species characteristics shape these contributions remains limited ...
