Nest Survival and Failure in Ruffs Breeding on Grazed Coastal Meadows
ABSTRACT Nest survival is a key determinant of birds' breeding success, particularly in ground‐breeding birds, where nest predation is a major cause of reproductive failure. Birds can maximise their nesting success by optimising aspects of the sociospatial environment of a nest, for example, by reducing the risk of predation or flooding.

Biodiversitätsmanagement mit Wasserbüffeln in renaturierten Feuchtgebieten [PDF]
The use of water buffalos for landscape maintenance started ten years ago in Germany. Now, more than 2,100 buffalos are kept by about 90 breeders, and first results concerning their usefulness for landscape management are available.

Briny Biology: Nematodes From the Hypersaline Springs of the Central Namib Desert
We investigated nematode communities in from seven hypersaline desert springs in the central Namib Desert. We found nematodes in most sediment and microbial mat samples collected, with some present (although likely cryptobiotic) at electrical conductivity values exceeding 500 mS/cm.

Effects of the introduction of pre-treated wastewater in a shallow lake reed stand [PDF]
Reed stands may be employed in the amelioration of water quality or even in the treatment of wastewater. In this study, the nutrient concentrations of (i) the above- and below-ground Common Reed (Phragmites australis) biomass, and (ii) surface and ...

Offspring phenotypes are affected by genotype, parental salt stress, and offspring salt stress. Parental salt stress can influence offspring phenotypes through associated changes in DNA methylation. Multigenerational salt stress induces cumulative inheritable epigenetic changes.

Plant thresholds and community composition of coastal marsh–forest ecotones in the US Northeast
Abstract Sea level rise is causing coastal salt marshes to migrate upslope into coastal forests and other terrestrial ecosystems. The factors that control marsh migration rates are not well understood, particularly in the US Northeast, where this phenomenon has received little attention. To determine the relationship between environmental variables and

An investigation into the performance of vegetated biofilters in removing nutrients from stormwater in the City of Cape Town, South Africa [PDF]
In 2009, the City of Cape Town (CoCT) adopted a stormwater policy which mandates that new and existing developments should reduce the concentrations of phosphorus and suspended solids in stormwater runoff by 45% and 80% respectively, but offered no ...
