Are Wild Prey Sufficient for the Top Predators in the Lowland Protected Areas of Nepal?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.
The study in Nepal's lowland protected areas found a balanced predator–prey relationship, with a power law exponent “k” of 0.7 indicating a significant increase in predator biomass density with rising prey density. This sublinear growth pattern aligns with established trophic biomass scaling estimates, emphasizing its importance for stabilizing ...

Transit navigation through Northern Sea Route from satellite data and CMIP5 simulations

Environmental Research Letters, 2017
Rapid Arctic sea ice decline over the last few decades opens new perspectives for Arctic marine navigation. Further warming in the Arctic will promote the Northern Sea Route (NSR) as an alternative to the conventional Suez or Panama Canal routes for ...

Productive foraging grounds enhance maternal condition and offspring quality in a capital breeding species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.
The feeding ecology of loggerhead sea turtles plays a crucial role in shaping their reproductive outcomes and offspring quality. Through stable isotope analysis, we observed that females feeding at higher trophic positions produced larger clutches. Those with less depleted δ13C values, indicative of productive foraging areas, exhibited greater fat ...

Development situation and future demand for the ports along the Northern Sea Route

, 2020
Due to global warming, the ice-free time of the Northern Sea Route (NSR) is becoming increasingly longer, which increases its potential as a major international shipping route. As the key nodes, ports play an important role in the development of shipping

Cross‐border dimensions of Arctic climate change impacts and implications for Europe

WIREs Climate Change, Volume 15, Issue 5, September/October 2024.
Climate change in the Arctic can initiate impacts that propagate into regions outside the Arctic via different transmission pathways, posing cross‐border risks that require consideration of adaptation responses. Abstract The Arctic has warmed almost four times faster than the rest of the globe during the past four decades.

Late Palaeozoic structural evolution of the Patch Bank Ridge and Utsira High, northern North Sea

Basin Research, Volume 36, Issue 5, September–October 2024.
The Top Basement surface of the Patch Bank Ridge and Utsira High is the result of diverse periods of erosion leading to various geomorphic expressions. (a) Utsira High Triassic peneplain (P in e) surface. The following three examples are from Patch Bank Ridge. (b) The southern flank has a rugose (R in e), mountainous appearance dipping steeply into the

Russia in a changing climate

WIREs Climate Change, Volume 15, Issue 2, March/April 2024.
Projected increases in average winter temperature by 2090–2099 across the Russian Federation. Source: Climate Center of Rosgidromet. Abstract Climate change will shape the future of Russia, and vice versa, regardless of who rules in the Kremlin. The world's largest country is warming faster than Earth as a whole, occupies more than half the Arctic ...
