Experimental salt marsh islands: a model system for novel metacommunity experiments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Shallow tidal coasts are characterised by shifting tidal flats and emerging or eroding islands above the high tide line. Salt marsh vegetation colonising new habitats distant from existing marshes are an ideal model to investigate metacommunity theory ...

Subsurface Investigations of Cryo‐Hydrogeological Features in a High Arctic Catchment Under Transition

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, the internal structure and seasonal variations of cryo‐hydrogeological features were investigated in the Fuglebekken catchment, located near the Polish Polar Station Hornsund in Svalbard. Over a few years, rising air temperatures and intensified water circulation have significantly altered the distribution, extent, and state of ...

Fine-scale population structure and asymmetrical dispersal in an obligate salt-marsh passerine, the Saltmarsh Sparrow (Ammodramus Caudacutus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Understanding the spatial scale of gene flow can yield valuable insight into the ecology of an organism and guide conservation strategies. Fine-scale genetic structure is uncommon in migratory passerines because of their high vagility and presumed high ...

Turbulent snow transport and accumulation: New reduced‐order models and diagnostics

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Our new reduced‐order models of snow particle transport provide high‐fidelity calculations of snow accumulation in turbulent flows at significantly reduced computational costs. Additional accumulation diagnostics from the reduced‐order model predict complex patterns of particle concentration in turbulent boundary layers via coherent flow structures in ...

Using a live‐streaming webcam to assess the behavioural responses of waterbirds to changes in the density of swans Cygnus spp.

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife research has benefitted from the development of new methods that allow data to be collected remotely, with less disturbance to focal animals. The proliferation of livestreaming webcams, for example, those used by nature reserves for public engagement purposes, have offered new possibilities for the study of wildlife behaviour.

Effects of hunting on waterbird numbers in Mediterranean coastal wetlands in France: the case of the Hérault department

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Waterfowl hunting plays a complex role in the conservation of waterbird populations. While hunting can provide conservation benefits, excessive or unregulated hunting may threaten waterbird populations, particularly for species with declining numbers or high sensitivity to human disturbances.

The Venetian Vernacular Lexicon in Eleventh‐ and Twelfth‐Century Latin Documents: Insights from the Codice Diplomatico Veneziano

open access: yesTransactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the lexicographical potential of Medieval Latin documentation from the Venetian area of the Italo‐Romance domain, highlighting the need for a systematic approach to bridge Latin and vernacular linguistic developments. The project MEDITA – Medieval Latin Documentation and Digital Italo‐Romance Lexicography.

Vegetation Effects on Fish Distribution in Impounded Salt Marshes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We compared the density and biomass of resident fish in vegetated and unvegetated flooded habitats of impounded salt marshes in the northern Indian River Lagoon (IRL) Estuary of east-central Florida.
