Time tells: plasticity and developmental asynchrony underlie trait variation in a dune‐building grass

Oikos, EarlyView.
Habitat‐modifying plants engineer landscapes through plant‐environment feedbacks. The strength of these feedbacks is determined by above‐ and below‐ground traits shaping landscape morphology. Besides interspecific differences, recent findings highlight that intraspecific trait variation, such as shoot density, can also influence landscape morphology ...

Marine litter can shift sea turtle nests toward the shoreline

Oikos, EarlyView.
Marine litter is an emerging threat to sea turtle rookeries, yet its effects on nesting behaviour remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated how macro‐litter accumulation on beaches influences the spatial distribution of loggerhead turtle Caretta caretta nests on Boa Vista Island, Cabo Verde.

The use of imaging systems to monitor shoreline dynamics [PDF]

, 2005
The development of imaging systems is nowadays established as one of the most powerful and reliable tools for monitoring beach morphodynamics. Two different techniques for shoreline detection are presented here and, in one case, applied to the study of ...

Transition pathways from vulnerability to viability of small‐scale fisheries in Africa and Asia

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract This perspective paper examines transition pathways that move small‐scale fisheries from vulnerability towards viability. We understand ‘vulnerability to viability transition pathways’ as integrative and one that extends beyond economic concerns to include social, political, cultural and ecological aspects of small‐scale fisheries.

A method for predicting future shorelines based on weighted-Markov-chains

Geocarto International
Shoreline migration can directly reflect the stability of marine ecology, and human beings may be reminded to protect shorelines. However, shoreline migration has considerable randomness, and each segment of the shoreline has undergone highly diverse ...

Effects of sediment grain size and seasonal changes on macrobenthic community structure inhabiting the south and southeastern parts of the Caspian Sea shoreline [PDF]

بوم‌شناسی آبزیان, 2021
In this study, we investigated the effects of sediment grain size and seasonal change on the structure of macrobenthic communities in the south and southeastern shorelines of the Caspian Sea for one year using a hand corer.

Run-up characterstics of symmetrical solitary tsunami waves of unknown shapes [PDF]

, 2008
The problem of tsunami wave run-up on a beach is discussed in the framework of the rigorous solutions of the nonlinear shallow-water theory. We present an analysis of the run-up characteristics for various shapes of the incoming symmetrical solitary ...
