Hydropower Operations Reduce Alluvial Nesting Habitat and Alter Riverine Turtle Population Demographics

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydropower management has altered discharge regimes of large rivers worldwide, reducing sediment mobilization and early‐seral conditions essential for many riverine species. Spiny softshell turtles (Apalone spinifera) rely on alluvial habitats for nesting and may serve as sentinel species to assess the effects of regulated flow regimes and ...

Impact of parameterization in multiple acoustic index comparisons: practical cases in terrestrial and underwater soundscapes

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Parameter choices in acoustic analyses (sampling frequency, FFT size and window overlap) strongly influence multivariate soundscape separation. Using terrestrial and coral reef recordings, we show that these settings can exaggerate or mask ecological differences, emphasizing the need for parameter sensitivity testing and transparent reporting in ...

Scale dependence in remotely sensed biodiversity: Leveraging continental‐scale imaging spectroscopy from the National Ecological Observatory Network

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Imaging spectroscopy enables large‐scale biodiversity assessment, yet spectral diversity metrics are scale dependent. Across 15 NEON ecosystems, we find that spectral richness increases sub‐linearly from 3600 m2 to 4 km2, whereas spectral divergence shows weak or inconsistent scaling with area, underscoring the importance of scale‐aware interpretation ...

Is the Plastic Waste Trade a Barrier to Sustainable Development? Empirical Evidence From RCEP Countries

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is widespread consensus on the threats that plastic waste poses to the environment. A significant obstacle to sustainable development, the trade in plastic waste may contribute to plastic pollution. The objective of this research is to look at how the import and export of plastic waste affect the sustainable development of Regional ...
