Feasibility of restoring native oyster reefs in highly modified urban estuaries
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.

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.

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
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 ...

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]
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
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.

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 ...

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 ...
