Dragonfly taxonomic and functional responses to urbanized streams in southeastern Europe, with management recommendations

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Urbanization drives turnover in dragonfly species composition, traits, and habitat conservation value. Natural stream sections have a higher conservation value (higher DBI) due to presence of specialists. Properly managed urban streams can support diverse dragonfly assemblages.

Measuring the Stringency of Building Height Regulations

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study proposes a novel methodology to measure the stringency of building height regulations. This measure gauges the difference in building heights with and without regulations. The primary challenge is to recover unobserved building heights in the absence of regulations.

Evolution, Routing and Reservoir Characteristics of Submarine Channels in a Structurally Deforming Slope Setting: Deep‐Water Joint Development Zone of Nigeria and São Tomé and Príncipe

Journal of Petroleum Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deep‐water slope channels and associated facies are a major part of clastic sediment dispersal system extending from the shelf‐edge to the abyssal plain. The toe‐thrust area of the deep‐water Niger Delta enables the analysis of these channels and their interaction with evolving fault‐controlled sea‐floor topography to be determined ...

Rethinking microtidal systems: Tidal signatures in the fluvial deposits of the Po River, Italy

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In microtidally influenced rivers, tides are generally assumed to leave virtually no signatures in the sedimentary record. However, this hypothesis has been surprisingly poorly tested using modern river analogues, which provide an opportunity to assess whether sedimentary signatures of microtidal regimes can develop in rivers that lack ...

Coupled plagioclase dissolution and K‐feldspar overgrowth precipitation preserve anomalously high permeability in deeply buried sandstones

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the formation mechanism responsible for anomalously high permeability (AHP) observed in the Eocene sandstones at depths from 3824 to 3832 m in the Huizhou Sag, Pearl River Mouth Basin, China, using helium porosity and permeability measurements, thin section, scanning electron microscopy, electron probe X‐ray ...

Drowned carbonate‐rimmed margin controlling shelf‐edge delta progradation and sedimentation dynamics: Upper Cretaceous Woodbine Formation, Texas, USA

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shelf‐edge deltas are commonly interpreted to record basinward facies migration across uninterrupted, gently dipping shelf margins; however, examples from mixed siliciclastic‐carbonate margins reveal more complex depositional dynamics. Periods and areas of carbonate sedimentation within mixed siliciclastic‐carbonate margins can modify shelf ...
