Continuous Learning for Ship Performance Prediction [PDF]

open access: yes
Accurately predicting a ship’s fuel consumption is essential for an efficient shipping operation. A prediction model has to be regularly retrained to minimize drift between its predictions and the actual consumption of the ship since a ship’s ...

River Sand and Gravel Mining: Global Drivers, Impacts, and Pathways for Sustainable Management

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract River sand and gravel are mined worldwide at volumes that now rival their natural replenishment, yet quantitative knowledge of this mining activity and its consequences lags far behind many other global environmental pressures. We synthesize 411 peer‐reviewed studies published since 1974 within a new Driver‐to‐Management Pathway for ...

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1805-1829, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Disrupting the herd: Recreational boating alters group dispersion within beluga whale herds

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
Recreational boating in beluga habitat remains poorly documented. Using land‐based observations in the Saguenay Fjord (Quebec, Canada), we show that increasing recreational boat numbers are associated with a higher probability of changes in beluga herd dispersion, suggesting behavioral disturbance and the need to integrate recreational boating into ...

Strong spatial partitioning of mesozooplankton in a dynamic frontal zone shapes trophic transfer efficiency

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Frontal zones are often areas of increased biological productivity and have hydrographic gradients on short spatial scales. The small scale of gradients poses a challenge in identifying differences in zooplankton community structure and trophic transfer efficiency through the pelagic food web.
