Seabird-vectored pelagic nutrients integrated into temperate intertidal rocky shores

Frontiers in Marine Science
Seabirds provide inter-habitat connectivity by transporting vast quantities of nutrients from their pelagic feeding grounds to terrestrial and marine ecosystems via their nitrogen and phosphorous rich guano.

The origin of beach sediments on the North Queensland coast [PDF]

, 1971
Petrographic and granulometric analyses of North Queensland beach sediments indicate their affinity with sediments delivered to the coast by rivers, and it is shown that the beaches are largely derived from fluvial sediment reworked, sorted and ...

The Path to Neutrality: Evaluating Carbon Offsetting Strategies Among Spanish Corporations

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how offset project characteristics and financial conditions shape the intensity of corporate carbon offsetting in voluntary carbon markets (VCMs). Focusing on a Southern European context, the analysis draws on a longitudinal panel of 357 Spanish firms observed between 2019 and 2022.

Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.

The Interactional Pathways of Mass Killings: Toward a Novel Understanding of Rampage School Shootings

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
Rampage school shootings, where students go to their own school to randomly kill classmates, teachers, friends, and strangers, are among the most drastic types of human behavior. While research increasingly points to interaction dynamics as being key for the emergence of crime and violence, scholars have not yet systematically studied interaction ...

Lower genetic diversity in the limpet Patella caerulea on urban coastal structures compared to natural rocky habitats

, 2009
Human-made structures are increasingly found in marine coastal habitats. The aim of the present study was to explore whether urban coastal structures can affect the genetic variation of hard-bottom species.

An improved phylogeny and revised taxonomy of Catillariaceae (Lecanoromycetes, Ascomycota)

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract The boundaries of the family Catillariaceae have largely remained untested through phylogenetic methods. Recent studies have led to the transfer of several genera previously classified in Catillariaceae to the newly described family Leprocaulaceae. Despite these changes, the distinction between Catillariaceae, Leprocaulaceae, and Catinariaceae

Ecological classification of southern intertidal zones of Qeshm Island, based on CMECS model [PDF]

, 2014
The “Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS)”, a new approach to ecological classification, was applied to 122 km of the southern intertidal zone of Qeshm Island located the Hormouz Strait - the Persian Gulf.

Phylogeny, species delimitation and machine learning bridge the gap between DNA sequences and morphology in the lichen genus Arctomia (Arctomiaceae, Ascomycota)

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates species boundaries in the lichen genus Arctomia (Arctomiaceae, Ascomycota) using an integrative approach combining molecular phylogenetics, full Bayesian population delimitation, heuristic and model‐based species delimitation, and supervised machine learning applied to morphological data.
