We applied eDNA metabarcoding to assess vertebrate diversity in the Rance Estuary, France, across five stations spanning marine to freshwater environments, including areas upstream and downstream of a tidal power plant dam. A total of 124 vertebrate MOTUs were detected, with community composition reflecting the estuarine gradient and species turnover ...

Predicting spatiotemporal persistence of rare species: An example with North Atlantic right whales
Abstract Knowledge of when species remain in specified areas is essential for survey design, conservation, and management. Using species occurrence data to predict persistence in space and time (i.e., presence of one or more individuals of the species of interest within a defined spatial area over a duration of a specified number of days) may be ...

Numerical Investigation of Transonic Axial Compressor Rotor With Leading‐Edge Tubercles
Amplitude, wavelength, and span‐wise location of the leading‐edge tubercles on a transonic NASA Rotor 37 compressor are numerically optimized. An increase in efficiency by 0.52% compared to the corresponding baseline rotor is observed. The location of the shockwave moves downstream of the rotor with 1.91% higher pressure.

To effectively mitigate disturbances from human activities on vulnerable dolphin populations, it is crucial to understand fine‐scale variation in habitat use. This study investigated the habitat utilisation of a small subpopulation of Hector's dolphins (Cephalorhynchus hectori) in Porpoise Bay, New Zealand.

Abstract Understanding how catchments respond to environmental changes is critical for water resource management. However, few studies have systematically linked catchment characteristics, environmental changes, and hydrological responses. Therefore, this study proposes a novel dual‐clustering approach for identifying hydrological response patterns. It

The audiogram of the world's first successfully captive‐born Yangtze finless porpoise was on average 40 dB higher than conspecifics. Congenital hearing disorders and noise exposure may be the primary cause of porpoise's hearing loss. ABSTRACT Aquariums globally have seen significant growth in recent decades.

Marine mammals are vulnerable to a variety of anthropogenic threats, yet a global systematic map of the literature for 19 species found both spatial and temporal disparity in research effort between threats and between species. There are knowledge gaps for species and threats, with effort unequal across many species' ranges.

Crafting the Ocean: The Geographies of Environmental World‐Making
Short Abstract The paper departs from existing analyses of ‘world making’, bringing cultural and environmental geographies into further conversation through linking theories of crafting and world‐making together, through the lens of the contemporary aquarium and nascent oceanic geographies.
