Understanding the hydrological and landscape connectivity of lakes

Landscape Ecology
Abstract Context Connectivity is a key property of water, enabling the flow of energy, material and individuals within and between sites. Climate and land use changes can profoundly modify connectivity, yet few studies have quantified the patterns in connectivity among lakes at national scales.

Developmental morphology of claspers and clasper‐glands during maturation in Potamotrygon wallacei (Chondrichthyes: Potamotrygoninae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The claspers are the copulatory organs in male elasmobranchs, responsible for directing the semen into the female cloaca (C). However, the microscopic morphology of the claspers remains poorly understood. This study describes the morphology of the claspers and clasper glands (CGs) of cururu stingray (Potamotrygon wallacei) at different ...

Hydrological Connectivity - a study into representative metrics for a humid temperate catchment in northern England. [PDF]

, 2011
Hydrological connectivity has been identified as a concept which can help hydrology move towards a hydrological approach focussing on homogeneity rather than difference.

Modelling hydrological connectivity of tropical floodplain wetlands via a combined natural and artificial stream network

, 2014
The ecological condition and biodiversity values of floodplain wetlands are highly dependent on the hydrological connectivity of wetlands to adjacent rivers.

Strengthening urban resilience in China through underground infrastructures management: Addressing global climate challenges with technological solutions

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This paper explores how climate‐resilient technologies, such as smart grids, digital twins, and self‐healing materials, can enhance urban resilience. It highlights the urgent need for proactive planning, public‐private collaboration, and data‐driven innovation to future‐proof underground infrastructure amid accelerating climate and urban pressures ...

Remote sensing of hydrological connectivity

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2012
The sub‐surface flow of water within a watershed is traditionally thought to depend solely on topographic or physical influences, such as slope, soil permeability, and channel density. Though often overlooked, some researchers propose that the role of vegetation and its feedback on subsurface flow could be just as important in some cases.

Developing a macroecology for human‐altered ecosystems

Ecography, EarlyView.
Although anthropogenically‐induced ecological disruptions are fundamentally important in defining ecosystem properties, they are largely overlooked by macroecological theory. Anthropogenic disruptions and their effects are generally not comparable to one another, nor to disturbances that are part of natural disturbance regimes.

A Novel Multilevel Conceptual Framework for Flood Risk Governance

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Globally, flood risk is increasing as climate change progresses. Contemporary flood risk management practice often utilises hydrodynamic modelling (for hazard risk assessments), social vulnerability assessments, and risk communications in silo, which fragments evidence‐based decision‐making for effective flood risk management. We hence develop

How submerged aquatic vegetation affects the hydrological connectivity in wetlands: A modeling study of the largest wetland in North China

Ecological Indicators
Wetlands, as one of the most critical natural ecosystems, face increasingly prominent threats of degradation, with the continuous decline of hydrological connectivity being considered a key cause. However, the impact of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV)
