No coastal justice without environmental justice: a systematic literature review of climate and coastsNARA Subscribed
As the ocean warms, sea levels rise, and coastlines change, there has been a growing interest in environmental justice and climate justice on the coast. Here we conduct a systematic literature review on how coastal hazards are impacting marginalized populations around the world. Our analysis reveals a focus on both long-term phenomena such as sea-level rise and extreme acute events like storms or hurricanes. We found that envi...
Group swimming significantly decreases time to passage success for a galaxiid speciesNARA Subscribed
We conducted laboratory experiments to explore the potential benefits of group behaviour on passage performance for a small‐bodied migratory species, inanga Galaxias maculatus . An artificial velocity barrier was created to compare the fish passage success of groups of fish to solitary individuals. Passage success was measured using several metrics, including binomial success models and time‐to‐event analysis. Active metabolic...
Turning Over an Old Leaf- do Mammalian Herbivores Retain the Ability to Biotransform Toxic Ancestral Diets?NARA Subscribed
Herbivores are frequently exposed to potentially toxic doses of plant secondary metabolites (PSMs). Furthermore, the plant species available and their associated PSMs may change over extended time periods. To understand the ability of herbivores to biotransform novel PSMs, we investigated populations of one species of mammalian herbivore that had undergone a radical diet shift, i.e., the desert woodrat’s ( Neotoma lepida ) swi...
Deep-time maar lakes and other volcanogenic lakes as Fossil-Lagerstätten – An overviewNARA Subscribed
Deep-time (=pre-Quaternary) maar lakes and certain other, hydrologically deep volcanogenic lakes, are often excellent Konservat-Lagerstätten representing unique windows into past biota and ecosystems. Many deposits from such lakes contain animal and plant remains in extraordinary preservation, often with soft tissues or fine morphological and anatomical details preserved. Such Lagerstätten have the potential to provide in-dept...
Evidence for near-source nonlinear propagation of volcano infrasound from Strombolian explosions at Yasur Volcano, VanuatuNARA Subscribed
Volcanic eruption source parameters may be estimated from acoustic pressure recordings dominant at infrasonic frequencies (< 20 Hz), yet uncertainties may be high due in part to poorly understood propagation dynamics. Linear acoustic propagation of volcano infrasound is commonly assumed, but nonlinear processes such as wave steepening may distort waveforms and obscure the sourcing process in recorded waveforms. Here we use a p...
