Mangroves, as the key blue carbon ecosystem, are considered ‘potential sinks’ for microplastics (MPs) in the land-ocean interface zones. However, there is limited understanding of enrichment patterns of MPs in mangrove blue carbon ecosystem, particularly

ABSTRACT Urban coastal lagoons are highly vulnerable ecosystems increasingly affected by metal contamination, as well as multiple anthropogenic stressors. This study evaluated ecotoxicological and human health risks associated with chronic metal exposure in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) from an anthropogenically impacted lagoon in southeastern ...

The English language is a gargantuan, gluttonous beast. It has become extraordinary among its peers in its powers of assimilation – such that we rarely consider the diverse origins of the words we use. In this two‐part paper, we will explore these origins, including the Pontic‐Caspian steppe, the British Empire, latinophone scientists and a TV show. We

Coastal bio-geomorphologic zonation of coral reefs and mangroves and tide level control
A study of coastal bio-geomorphologic units and zonation patterns of coral reefs and mangroves and their bio-geomorphologic boundaries as determined by tidal levels was undertaken.

Ever‐growing human activities present an active and continuing threat to many species throughout the world. Nevertheless, concerted conservation efforts in some regions have balanced these threats and allowed endangered species to recolonise former parts of their original ranges and reverse their decline.

Mangroves are unique ecosystems found in estuarine and coastal areas between 30◦ N and 30◦ S in tropical, subtropical and a few temperate latitudes. Mangrove forests consist of about 80 species worldwide of halophilic, convergently evolved, 16 diverse

Many nocturnal animals are difficult to study because they are rarely seen, including nocturnal primates, galagos and pottos, in West Africa. Working with over 600 people in 52 villages in southern Guinea‐Bissau, we found that communities frequently recognized galagos by their red eyeshine and distinctive calls, while pottos were not known.

Abstract Many waterfowl species and closely related congeners are shared across the Holarctic, and are culturally and economically important in both North America and Europe. Accordingly, both continents have developed science and management frameworks in an attempt to establish evidence‐based conservation practices for this guild of birds.
