Hide and sleep: terrestrial resting site selection by the Yellow-bellied Toad in a forested landscape

Acta Herpetologica
Most amphibians rely on both aquatic and terrestrial environments throughout their life cycle. While the use and selection of aquatic habitats are well documented in many species, terrestrial habitats remain far less studied.

DNA metabarcoding in diet studies: Unveiling ecological aspects in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems [PDF]

Environmental DNA, 2019
AbstractEffective conservation of species and ecosystems requires the understanding of important ecological traits, such as dietary habits, food webs, and trophic niches. In diet studies, the visual identification of partially digested prey has been enhanced with the recent more powerful and accurate technique, DNA barcoding.

Aquatic grazers reduce the establishment and growth of riparian plants along an environmental gradient

, 2013
Summary The establishment of riparian plants is determined by abiotic conditions and grazing, although it is usually presumed that the former are most important.

Advanced MXene‐Based Multifunctional Nanoarchitecture Materials Engineered for Adsorptive Cleanup of Hazardous Radioactive Pollutants: A Comprehensive Critical Review

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This work critically reviews MXenes as highly effective multifunctional nanomaterials for the adsorption of radio‐contaminants, demonstrating a remarkable adsorption capacity of up to 1376.75 mg/g and cyclic stability of 2–8 cycles, with complexation, electrostatic interactions, and the numerical strength of MXene active sites playing a key operational

Following the terrestrial tracks ofCaulobacter- redefining the ecology of a reputed aquatic oligotroph [PDF]

The ISME Journal, 2018
AbstractFor the past 60 years Caulobacter spp. have been commonly attributed an aquatic and oligotrophic lifestyle yet are not uncommon in nutrient-rich or soil environments. This study evaluates the environmental and ecological associations of Caulobacter to reconcile past evidence, largely limited to culturing and microscopy, with currently available

High Grazing Pressure of Geese Threatens Conservation and Restoration of Reed Belts

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Reed (Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steud.) beds are important habitat for marsh birds, but are declining throughout Europe. Increasing numbers of the native marsh bird, the Greylag goose (Anser anser L.), are hypothesized to cause reed bed ...

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Do the ecological impacts of dam removal extend across the aquatic–terrestrial boundary? [PDF]

Ecosphere, 2018
AbstractThe longitudinal influences of dam removal on river ecosystems are increasingly well described, but impacts to aquatic–terrestrial connectivity are largely unknown. Before and four successive years after dam removal, we quantified density and trophic metrics of nearshore tetragnathid spiders and riparian swallows and their potential emergent ...

Eye morphology contributes to the ecology and evolution of the aquatic avifauna. [PDF]

Aquatic birds are notable among the global avifauna for living in environments exposed to large amounts of light. Despite growing evidence that visual adaptations to light underly the ecology and evolution of the avian tree of life, no comprehensive ...
