Assessing the coherence in biological and environmental drivers of young sea bass abundance across important estuarine nursery areas of the northern European sea bass stock
(Frontiers Media SA, 2024-01-10)Year class strength is an important determinant of fish population size, but the drivers are often unknown. The northern stock of European sea bass (<jats:italic>Dicentrarchus labrax</jats:italic>) is an important target ... -
Developing expert scientific consensus on the environmental and societal effects of marine artificial structures prior to decommissioning
(Elsevier BVEngland, 2024-02)Thousands of artificial (‘human-made’) structures are present in the marine environment, many at or approaching end-of-life and requiring urgent decisions regarding their decommissioning. No consensus has been reached on ... -
Recovery of cirl bunting, <i>Emberiza cirlus</i>, song diversity after translocation
(Wiley, 2024-01)In order to improve conservation outcomes translocation or reintroduction of individuals may be necessary. When song learning birds are translocated, changes in the cultural diversity of song repertoires, or abnormal ... -
Long-term accretion rates in UK salt marshes derived from elevation difference between natural and reclaimed marshes
(Elsevier BV, 2024-01)The future of salt marshes depends in a large part on the balance between the future rate of marsh accretion and the future rate of sea-level rise (SLR). Current accretion rates can provide some insight into future ... -
Comparative phenomics: a new approach to study heterochrony
(Frontiers Media SASwitzerland, 2023-11-06)Understanding the links between development and evolution is one of the major challenges of biology. ‘Heterochronies’, evolutionary alterations in the timings of development are posited as a key mechanism of evolutionary ... -
Nuanced impacts of the invasive aquatic plant Crassula helmsii on Northwest European freshwater macroinvertebrate assemblages
(ElsevierNetherlands, 2024-01-05)Invasive alien species are considered one of the greatest threats to global biodiversity, and are particularly problematic in aquatic systems. Given the foundational role of macrophytes in most freshwaters, alien aquatic ... -
Plastics and the Environment
(Annual Reviews, 2023-11-13)<jats:p> Plastics are persistent and pervasive throughout the environment and have now been reported from the deepest parts of the ocean to the tops of the highest and most remote mountains. There is a body of information ... -
Editorial: Early Career Scientists’ Contributions to River Plastic Monitoring Across Scales
(Frontiers Media SA, 2023-03-25)Plastic pollution in aquatic ecosystems (rivers, lakes, estuaries, and oceans) is of growing global concern, because of its negative impact on environmental health, and human livelihood. Rivers are assumed to be one of ... -
Biodeterioration and bioprotection of concrete assets in the coastal environment
(Elsevier BV, 2022-11)The deleterious effects (biodeterioration) and the protective benefits (bioprotection) of biological colonisation on manmade structures have long been debated. Lichens, biofilms, algae, bivalves and gastropods contribute ... -
Can Coral Reef Restoration Programmes Facilitate Changes in Environmental Attitudes? A Case Study on a Rural Fisher Community in North Bali, Indonesia
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2023-10)There is currently limited research assessing the ecological potential of coral restoration programmes of habitat enhancement and restoration of benthic and mobile populations for influencing the attitudes (and subsequent ...
