Abstract Total Suspended Solids (TSS) significantly degrade water quality by reducing light penetration and oxygen availability, while facilitating the transport of toxic contaminants. Managing TSS in watersheds requires an understanding of both hydrological connectivity and pollutant dynamics; however, these efforts are significantly constrained by ...

Migratory animals often display remarkable adaptations in order to successfully complete their journeys. While there is substantial evidence on immunomodulation during breeding and at stopover sites en route, the immune status of migratory birds upon reaching their non‐breeding grounds and throughout this stationary season remains poorly understood ...

Mangrove ecosystems face significant threats from climate change and human activities. In West Benin, the invasive grass Paspalum vaginatum disrupts sedimentation and hydrology, creating anoxic conditions and nutrient imbalances. To address this, we implemented a cost‐effective restoration strategy focused on hydrological repair, engaging local ...
