Maintaining healthy pollinator communities is vital for both agricultural and natural ecosystems, but there are many threats to pollinator communities globally. Urbanization is a one of these major threats, but urban green spaces present opportunities for pollinator conservation. The effectiveness of designed urban landscapes in supporting pollinators largely depends upon plant selection and design, and there is an increasing...

Aim The role of environmental factors that shape the large‐scale distribution of eukaryotic microbes remains understudied. We aimed to disentangle the impacts of latitudinal and longitudinal gradients on the distribution of Sphagnum‐ dwelling testate amoebae in mires and to understand the influence of environmental factors related to both local habitats (hummock—lawn—hollows) and regional climates. Location A range from temper...

Mangrove forests in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are facing multiple threats from natural and anthropogenic-driven land use change stressors, contributing to altered ecosystem conditions. Remote sensing tools can be used to monitor mangroves, measure mangrove forest-and-tree-level attributes and vegetation indices at different spatial and temporal scales that allow a detailed and comprehensive understanding of...

Tidal currents derived from current meter measurements are compared with the output from a barotropic tidal model of the New Zealand region. For the semi‐diurnal constituents there was very good agreement for the M 2 tide and good agreement for the S 2 tide. For the diurnal constituents (K l , O l ) it was found that as the amplitude of the constituents decreased so did both the model/observation agreement and the accuracy of...
