Milder winters alleviate seasonal challenges for a migratory goose facing Arctic warming

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
By combining extensive body mass records with population‐wide migration counts spanning several decades, this study uncovers long‐term improvements in body condition associated with progressively milder winters, alongside earlier spring departure in an Arctic migrant, highlighting the importance of the full annual cycle in determining species ...

A Spatial Baseline of China's Blue Carbon Stocks for Improved Monitoring, Management, and Protection

open access: yesEarth's Future
Blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs) exhibit remarkable capacities for organic carbon (C) storage, making them a promising nature‐based climate solution. However, the lack of robust, spatially explicit estimates of C stocks in BCEs presents a major challenge to

300 Years of Degradation in Wales Estuaries and Coasts

open access: yesNatural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The world's oceans are in a severe state of degradation, yet our understanding of that degradation is often based on changes observed only in the past 20–50 years. This narrow view leads to marine conservation efforts that aim to preserve already degraded ecosystems, shaped by shifted ecological baselines.

Seasonal Variability in Non-Structural Carbohydrate Content of Warm-Adapted Zostera noltei and Zostera marina Populations

open access: yesDiversity
Non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs) are energetic compounds that can be accumulated in tissues and mobilized during periods of unfavorable conditions to maintain the biological functions of plants. The balance of these biochemical compounds is controlled

A Review of Remote Sensing Approaches for Monitoring Blue Carbon Ecosystems: Mangroves, Seagrassesand Salt Marshes during 2010–2018

open access: yesSensors, 2019
Blue carbon (BC) ecosystems are an important coastal resource, as they provide a range of goods and services to the environment. They play a vital role in the global carbon cycle by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating the impacts of climate ...

Geographic Patterns of Head Morphology in Syngnathus typhle Across Marine Regions

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Morphometric analysis of Syngnathus typhle head shape shows distinct geographic patterns across Baltic, North, Atlantic, and Mediterranean marine regions, driven by variation in snout length, head depth, and eye position. Findings provide a non‐invasive baseline for conservation monitoring.

A Comprehensive Repository of Morphological, Life‐History, Ecological, and Environmental Data for Sirenians and Marine Carnivorans Worldwide

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We constructed a standardized data repository for all 46 species, integrating 56 variables across morphological and physiological, life‐history, ecological, biogeographical, environmental, and conservation dimensions. Additionally, we collected data on body size, coloration, distributional range, and extinction risk for all 22 subspecies.
