Detection of Stones in Marine Habitats Combining Simultaneous Hydroacoustic Surveys

Geosciences, 2018
Exposed stones in sandy sublittoral environments are hotspots for marine biodiversity, especially for benthic communities. The detection of single stones is principally possible using sidescan-sonar (SSS) backscatter data.

WATLAS: high-throughput and real-time tracking of many small birds in the Dutch Wadden Sea

Animal Biotelemetry, 2022
Tracking animal movement is important for understanding how animals interact with their (changing) environment, and crucial for predicting and explaining how animals are affected by anthropogenic activities. The Wadden Sea is a UNESCO World Heritage Site

De Waddenzee, een gigantisch wereldnatuurerfgoedpark

Bulletin KNOB, 2011
Since 2009 the Dutch and German parts of the Wadden Sea have been on the Unesco list of world heritage. Germany and - on an international level - the Wadden Sea Forum and the Common Wadden Sea Secretariat in Willemshaven promote the idea to experience ...

Long-term changes in nutrients and mussel stocks are related to numbers of breeding eiders Somateria mollissima at a large Baltic colony.

PLoS ONE, 2014
BackgroundThe Baltic/Wadden Sea eider Somateria mollissima flyway population is decreasing, and this trend is also reflected in the large eider colony at Christiansø situated in the Baltic Sea.

Temperature-Dependent Reproductive Success of Stickleback Lateral Plate Morphs: Implications for Population Polymorphism and Range Shifts Under Ocean Warming

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Changing environments associated with rapid climate change can shape direct measures of fitness such as reproductive success by altering mating behavior, fecundity and offspring development.

Indication of Holocene sea-level stability in the southern Laptev Sea recorded by beach ridges in north-east Siberia, Russia

Polar Research, 2019
The rapid warming of the Arctic may affect the stability of coastal geomorphological systems. Prograded sequences of wave-built deposits, so-called beach-ridge systems, preserve a proxy record of the long-term variability in the drivers of coastal ...

Experimental salt marsh islands: a model system for novel metacommunity experiments [PDF]

, 2017
Shallow tidal coasts are characterised by shifting tidal flats and emerging or eroding islands above the high tide line. Salt marsh vegetation colonising new habitats distant from existing marshes are an ideal model to investigate metacommunity theory ...

Wind and phytoplankton dynamics drive seasonal and short-term variability of suspended matter in a tidal basin [PDF]

Biogeosciences
Suspended particulate matter (SPM) is a key component of coastal ecosystems, modulating light availability, nutrient transport, and food web dynamics. Its variability is driven by a combination of physical and biological processes that interact across ...

Status of grey seals along mainland Europe from the Southwestern Baltic to France

NAMMCO Scientific Publications, 2007
The grey seal was a common species along mainland Europe during the Stone Age (8,000-5,500 BC). Along the North Sea coast populations started to decline substantially during the 11th century as a result of excessive hunting. The last breeding populations

Dynamic Islands in the Wadden Sea. Wadden Sea Ecosystem No. 33

, 2014
The 2014 report is a collection of a series of papers dealing with the development of small uninhabited islands to demonstrate dynamic processes at work on different scales. The objectives for this issue are to present an overview of dynamic islands throughout the Wadden Sea, to illustrate the main geomorphological features and to describe the ...
