This study demonstrates that dispersal between a cyclone-impacted coastal ecosystem and a less-affected inland patch is essential for preventing extinction and maintaining chaotic population dynamics under extreme climatic events, whereas dispersal between equally affected patches fails to ensure survival.
This study utilizes a comprehensive inventory of 781 landslides on Grand Mesa, Colorado, to reveal that while high-volume megaslides occur roughly once every millennium, smaller but highly mobile events are frequent, with the Green River-Uinta Formation disproportionately driving landslide activity due to its unique lithology and stratigraphic position.
This study reveals that Lake Sampaloc in the Philippines suffers from severe microplastic pollution, with surface waters showing very high contamination levels and farmed fish accumulating significantly higher microplastic loads than wild counterparts, primarily consisting of polyethylene and polypropylene fibers that exhibit size-dependent accumulation patterns.
This study demonstrates that six-year thermal infrared UAV surveys provide a highly reliable, cost-efficient, and effective method for monitoring long-term sika deer population dynamics and detecting culling-induced declines on Nakanoshima Island, Japan, outperforming traditional ground-based methods in effort while correlating strongly with harvest-based estimates.
This pilot study demonstrates that the feces of the laughing dove (*Spilopelia senegalensis*) serve as an effective non-invasive biomonitoring tool for tracking urban environmental contamination in Yerevan, Armenia, by revealing significantly elevated levels of anthropogenic toxic elements like lead and arsenic in industrial peripheral zones compared to the city center.
This mixed-method study conducted in Rwanda's Rutsiro District (2024–2026) reveals that climate variability, particularly rainfall fluctuations and droughts, significantly undermines household income stability for 297 smallholder farmers, explaining 67.5% of income instability and necessitating urgent interventions in climate-smart agriculture and irrigation.
This study quantified pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and polyphenols in Rwanda's Nyabugogo River, revealing significantly higher pharmaceutical levels in urban areas due to inadequate sanitation and providing essential baseline data to guide contamination mitigation strategies.
This paper outlines and demonstrates a strategy for expanding ecotoxicology research by pairing biological collections with portable x-ray fluorescence (pXRF) analyzers to enable rapid, non-destructive, and large-scale assessment of lead contamination in bird specimens across diverse spatial, temporal, and taxonomic scales.
This study demonstrates that the pioneer species *Suaeda salsa* in the Yellow River Delta maintains strong phosphorus homeostasis across its organs despite sediment burial and nitrogen input, while adapting to these environmental disturbances by adjusting nitrogen/phosphorus stoichiometry and root phosphorus accumulation strategies.
While microbubble CO₂ injection can enhance carbon storage efficiency in high-permeability sandstone at low flow rates by temporarily blocking dominant flow channels, it ultimately leads to greater permeability decay and injectivity risks compared to conventional injection, particularly at higher flow rates due to fines mobilization and cumulative formation damage.
