Feasibility of restoring native oyster reefs in highly modified urban estuaries

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Urbanized estuaries are highly altered systems characterized by modified shorelines, degraded marine habitats, and abundant non‐native species. In South Australia's largest urbanized estuary, community‐based restoration initiatives aim to restore native flat oyster reefs (Ostrea angasi) lost over a century ago.

Microbially generated ferruginous crusts: A potential biosignature of continental input in coastal settings

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thin ferruginous sandy crusts are common on top of sandstone beds in the Early Permian post‐glacial deposits of the Paraná Basin in southern Brazil. These crusts usually preserve wrinkle structures, suggesting that they might be a product of microbial mediation.

Molecular Phylogeny, Species Delimitation, and Biogeography of the Varunid Crab Genus Metaplax (Crustacea, Varunidae)

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Indo‐West Pacific genus Metaplax comprises 11 recognised species inhabiting intertidal mudflats, some adjacent to mangroves. To resolve long‐standing uncertainties, we analysed mitochondrial (COI, 16S) and nuclear (28S) markers. Phylogenetic analyses recovered Metaplax as monophyletic and resolved four well‐supported clades—the M ...

Non‐Migrant Women and Their Livelihoods in the Sundarbans, Bangladesh

open access: yesClimate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 1, June 2026.
This graphical abstract illustrates the Sundarbans social–ecological system and its influence on women's livelihood strategies, particularly migration and non‐migration decisions. It highlights the interaction between ecological (ecosystem services) and social (institutional interventions, governance) subsystems, shaping livelihood capitals (natural ...

Vanishing Treasures: Climate Change Steals Amazonian Coastal Livelihoods—A Cry from the Frontlines of Marajó Island

open access: yesClimate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 1, June 2026.
In our study, we demonstrate how climate change is degrading fisheries and forest resources in Marajó Island's coastal communities, where we found younger residents and urban‐proximate groups express the strongest concerns. We document how warming temperatures and erratic rainfall are threatening traditional livelihoods, food security, and cultural ...

Estimating the Returns to Mangrove Conversion: Sustainable Management or Short Term Gain? [PDF]

open access: yes
The purpose of this project is to estimate the total economic value of a mangrove ecosystem in part of the Gulf of Fonseca, El Salvador, and to develop a cost-benefit framework to compare the sustainable management of the forest with alternative use ...

Evaluating Satellite Monitoring of Vegetation Health With Fauna Habitat Managers in Mind

open access: yesEcological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT In Australia, pastoralists, not‐for‐profit, and government organisations are managing stands of open woodland to conserve threatened species' habitats. These land areas are usually larger than a cropping field but smaller than many National Parks in Australia.

An Approach for the Assessment of Climate Smart Technologies for Fisheries and Aquaculture in an Afrotropical System

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate variability and environmental stressors increasingly undermine the productivity and stability of fisheries and aquaculture systems across regions. Although technologies, such as recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), integrated aquaculture–agriculture (IAA), Biofloc systems and solar powered hatcheries, have been promoted as climate ...

Indirect effects of fast‐growing urban development on wildlife in a coastal protected area of Costa Rica

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 3, April 2026.
We studied the effects of urban growth on wildlife near Parque Nacional Marino las Baulas, Costa Rica. Since 1991, buildings increased 1007%, mainly in the buffer zone. We identified eight native species extracting garbage from containers, with raccoons (Procyon lotor) comprising most detections (84%), and four other species being potential sea turtle ...
