Aim Climate change and land use have major effects on macroinvertebrate biodiversity, but it is unclear how they shape spatial variations, particularly at large scales. This study explored the latitudinal patterns of beta diversity in riverine macroinvertebrate assemblages and examined how they are shaped by climate and land use. Location China (18°–48° N). Time Period From 2006 and 2021. Major Taxa Studied Riverine macroinver...

Accurately measuring the critical shear stress is crucial for numerous applications, such as sediment transport modeling, erosion prediction, and the design of sustainable coastal engineering structures. However, developing reliable and precise in-situ measurement devices faces significant challenges due to the harsh and dynamic nature of aquatic environments. Factors like turbulence and waves introduce complexities that must...

Strong nonlinear internal waves generate a significant pressure force on the seafloor and induce a pore-pressure response penetrated in the seabed and are thus an important driver of sediment resuspension and a potential trigger of seabed failure. The following provides an overview of the seabed responses induced by nonlinear internal waves and the theory, models, and limited observations that have provided our present knowled...

Underwater acoustic target recognition (UATR) technology has been implemented widely in the fields of marine biodiversity detection, marine search and rescue, and seabed mapping, providing an essential basis for human marine economic and military activities. With the rapid development of machine-learning-based technology in the acoustics field, these methods receive wide attention and display a potential impact on UATR problem...
