Freshwater Biodiversity Research in Brazil: Trends from a Systematic Review and Topic Modeling
ABSTRACT Brazil is a megadiverse country that hosts six major biomes and a vast freshwater network. Despite this richness, research on freshwater biodiversity has been heterogeneous across regions, communities, and time, leaving significant knowledge gaps.

Stakeholders perspectives on European riparian zones
We investigated differences in perspectives among stakeholders and countries regarding the socio-ecological roles, threats, and management priorities of riparian zones (RZ) across five EU countries (Sweden, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy) using an online survey.

ABSTRACT This article examines how renewable‐energy expansion is changing water–energy bargaining among Iran, Iraq, and Türkiye in the Tigris–Euphrates basin. Much of the existing literature on transboundary water politics focuses on territorial control, upstream–downstream power asymmetries, legal rules, and hydro‐hegemony but gives less attention to ...

Abstract Kenya's aquaculture sector is at a pivotal stage, transitioning from a historical reliance on Nile tilapia and African catfish toward a more diversified production portfolio that integrates indigenous and emerging freshwater and marine species. This shift is increasingly recognized as essential to enhance climate resilience, food security, and

Alluvial ridge morphology on avulsing rivers
ABSTRACT Alluvial ridges are built by preferential channel‐belt deposition and control river avulsions, yet a systematic analysis of their morphology has been missing. To address this gap, we analyse a globally distributed dataset of 8970 alluvial ridge flanks on 14 different rivers.

Shallow Landslides Align With Atmospheric Rivers in Coastal Steeplands
Abstract Rapid, shallow landslides in coastal mountains are triggered by extreme precipitation, shaping topography and impacting human settlements. Using an inventory of >700 landslides mapped from satellite imagery (2009–2024) and an atmospheric river database (1981–2019), this study documents linkages between climatic drivers and the topographic ...

A Stochastic Approach for Recovery Times of Coastal Dune Vegetation
Abstract The resilience of coastal dunes to environmental stress largely depends on vegetation recovery, which promotes sediment trapping and sand stabilization. However, post‐disturbance recovery dynamics remain difficult to quantify due to the complex interplay between biotic and abiotic processes.

Marine Functional Connectivity Contributes to Ecosystem Functioning Across Multiple Scales
ABSTRACT The passive transport and active movements of marine organisms between habitats and ecosystems, known as marine functional connectivity, play a critical role in the functioning of marine ecosystems. However, marine functional connectivity, particularly at large spatial scales, is often understudied, and consequently tends to be overlooked in ...

ABSTRACT Environmental integrity is vital for the long‐term preservation of freshwater biodiversity, which is currently among the most threatened on Earth due to anthropogenic pressures such as dam construction. The present study investigated the temporal responses of ostracod communities over 8 years (2017–2024) in the Upper Paraná River floodplain ...
