An experimental examination of dispersal decisions made by flight‐capable heteropteran insects in urban stormwater pond conditions

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Salty conditions in urban stormwater ponds can influence dispersal timing in species‐specific ways for actively dispersing aquatic heteropteran insects. Assaying multiple aspects of dispersal propensity, Hesperocorixa obliqua emigrated earlier in stormwater pond conditions while overall probabilities remained unchanged; Notonecta undulata emigration ...

Enhancing Recharge in the Edwards Aquifer, Texas: Measures, Outcomes, and Lessons for Karst Aquifers

Groundwater, EarlyView.
Abstract Managed aquifer recharge is a widely adopted method that involves storing excess water underground for future use. While managed aquifer recharge has been applied globally to different aquifer types, its use in karst aquifers is less common due to the unique hydrogeological characteristics of these systems, including high permeability ...
