Optimisation of Temporary and Demountable Flood Protection for Infrastructure Resilience
ABSTRACT Infrastructure systems provide crucial services to human settlements. Extreme weather events, especially flooding, can disrupt these vital services. Temporary and demountable flood protections (TDFPs) are increasingly used to protect infrastructure assets and provide resilience.

The enigmatic case of Lipoptena sp. in the Bosco della Mesola Nature Reserve (Italy)
This is the first report of Lipoptena andaluciensis in Italy, confirmed morphologically and genetically. The presence of L. andaluciensis in Italy dates back many years; it was found on cervids in lowland habitats. A re‐examination of the previous report of the Italian L. fortisetosa is needed.

Edge effect influences the ecological strategies of plant communities in tropical forest fragments
The edge effect in Eastern Amazonia influences ecological strategies of plant communities, with forest edges promoting traits linked to hydraulic efficiency, while interior species exhibiting diverse ecological strategies. Abstract The continuous fragmentation of tropical forests is a major threat to biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. This process

Abstract Many global and regional climate models predict shifts in the frequency and magnitude of precipitation events. It is unclear how this transition will influence delta and wetland development. We address this knowledge gap via two reduced‐scale physical delta experiments: one with constant discharge and the other with variable discharge.

Abstract Typhoon‐induced Compound Flood (TCF), driven by the combined impact of extreme rainfall and increasing coastal water level (CWL), poses a substantial threat to urban safety. This study presents a framework for assessing the future compound flood hazard profiles in a coastal megacity in the Delta region of southern China.
