Water depth and human disturbance drive occupancy of endangered softshell turtles (Nilssonia spp.) in eastern Nepal

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Freshwater turtles play vital roles in maintaining the health of aquatic ecosystems by supporting ecological balance, nutrient cycling and regulating prey populations. Unfortunately, they are among the most threatened species worldwide. Habitat fragmentation, illegal trade, overharvesting for meat, and use in ethnomedicinal practices have severely ...

Biological invasions disrupt the relationship between size spectrum and trophic interactions in freshwater fish communities

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our study shows that non‐native species alter the relationship between the size‐spectrum slope and the predator–prey mass ratio (PPMR) in freshwater fish communities by occupying distinct trophic niches. Abstract The size spectrum, which describes the relationship between abundance (or biomass) and body size, is an ataxic approach that can provide ...

Comparing the success and failure of the Murray–Darling Basin Plan's water recovery programs

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract The Murray–Darling Basin (MDB) Plan is held up by some as an exemplar for world‐leading water policy, whilst others have called it a failure. Total proposed recovery was to return 3200 GL of consumptive (e.g. namely irrigation) water use to non‐consumptive (e.g.

Unravelling direct and indirect effects of river-floodplain connectivity on biodiversity: insights from the Elbe River floodplains

Biodiversity and Conservation
Abstract River-floodplain connectivity is a critical ecological process influencing biodiversity and ecosystem functions. However, the impact of changes in this connectivity, particularly its loss, on biodiversity in floodplains remains insufficiently studied.

Dutch dilemma: Housing prices and flood risk exposure

Real Estate Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This article studies the impact of flood risk exposure on housing prices in a major river delta. Analyzing 1.8 million property transactions from 1998 to 2023 in the Netherlands, we find an average price discount of 1.1%. We observe considerable heterogeneity in price effects driven by exposure intensity, institutional settings that vary ...
