Projected Temperature and Precipitation Expand Modeled Distributions of Reynoutria spp. While Modeled Distribution Changes for Ludwigia spp. Are Scenario‐Dependent at Watershed Scales in the Pacific Northwest, USA

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Invasive species can fundamentally alter their introduced habitats by changing natural processes and harming native species crucial to functional ecosystems and human needs. Although the number of potential invasive species is large, the suitability of novel locations to support population establishment is limited by both physical and ...

A Deep Learning Method for Inversing 3D Temperature Fields Using Sea Surface Data in Offshore China and the Northwest Pacific Ocean

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
Three-dimensional ocean temperature field data with high temporal-spatial resolution bears a significant impact on ocean dynamic processes such as mesoscale eddies. In recent years, with the rapid development of remote sensing data, deep learning methods

Geomorphic Effects and Habitat Impacts of Large Wood at Restoration Sites in New England

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large wood (used interchangeably with the term “instream wood”), which refers to trees, logs and other wood within a channel, is beneficial to river ecosystems and is being used more frequently as a component of river restoration projects. We identified metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of large wood to promote ecological and geomorphic ...

Climate‐Driven Mangrove Dieback and Recovery: A Case Study in Albert and Leichhardt Rivers, Australia

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Cycles of dieback and recovery drove mangrove forest dynamics at the Albert and Leichhardt Rivers (Gulf of Carpentaria, Queensland, Australia) over 36 years (1987–2023). Landward margins were the most affected by reduced tidal inundation when the alignment of low lunar declination suppressed tidal range and extreme El Niño phases lowered mean sea level.

Abundance and occupancy trends of sooty grouse in western Oregon: determining best modeling practices by comparing observed and simulated data

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Sooty grouse Dendragapus fuliginosus are large game birds that occupy montane forests in the Pacific Northwest, USA. These forests have been altered by human activities, which have been shown to have both positive and negative impacts on local populations.

Sharks - The State of the Science [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The biological characteristics of sharks make them particularly vulnerable to overfishing. They grow slowly, become sexually mature relatively late and produce few offspring.

Variation in food availability affects the population age structure of Atlantic puffins Fratercula arctica in the Faroe Islands

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Across their entire Atlantic breeding range, Atlantic puffins Fratercula arctica have experienced decreases in food availability, often leading to population declines. The species is one of the most numerous seabirds in Føroyar (the Faroe Islands, in English) but has faced apparent, unquantified population declines.
