Border protected areas (BPAs) are national protected areas that are immediately adjacent to a country's border or span two or more countries; they are characterized by distinctive opportunities and pressures. They play a critical role in protecting carbon‐rich ecosystems, conserving endangered biodiversity, reducing cross‐border environmental threats, and promoting peace and cooperation. At the same time, compared with other p...
Spatiotemporal Changes in Forest Metrics after a Catastrophic Tornado in Planted Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda L.) StandsNARA Subscribed
Tornadoes drastically impact managed forest landscapes, altering structure, composition, and economic valuation. Tornadoes occur frequently in the US and are projected to increase in the southeastern region, which is a substantial timber-producing region. Quantifying tornado damage in managed forest landscapes is important for guiding management decisions and modeling recovery efforts to recoup economic losses. We assessed the...
Mitochondrial DNA markers reveal panmixia and new sister lineage in the eastern Red Sea mesopelagic fishNARA Subscribed
Cryptic diversity in mesopelagic fish is increasingly documented across the Indo-Pacific, but remains understudied in the Red Sea, a region known for its high endemism and unique ecological conditions. We investigated cryptic diversity in Benthosema spp. and population genetic structure in the two most abundant mesopelagic fishes in the eastern Red Sea, the Benthosema pterotum species complex and the endemic Vinciguerria mabah...
Earth's biodiversity is central to ecosystem health and resilience, providing essential functions and services. The Red Sea is a recognised marine biodiversity hotspot with high endemism and unique environmental conditions that support extensive but poorly resolved biodiversity. Here, we applied metagenomic analyses to sediment samples collected from coastal to deep‐sea environments during the Red Sea Decade Expedition 2022 to...
Coastal zones are increasingly exposed to climate change and rapid urbanization, yet the geomorphological stability of tropical, mud-dominated coastlines remains poorly understood. This study evaluates multi-decadal shoreline dynamics along a 250 km corridor of the Selangor coastline, Peninsular Malaysia, from 1990 to 2020. Using seven multi-temporal, sensor-homogenized Landsat datasets, baseline change metrics were computed v...
Synthesis, characterization, and process optimization of natural coagulants from jackfruit and durian seeds for turbidity removalNARA Subscribed
Starch was extracted from jackfruit and durian seeds using distilled water and alkaline methods, with higher yields obtained via distilled water (27.7% and 18.4%, respectively). The extracted starches were cationized using 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTA) to enhance coagulation performance. Characterization confirmed successful functionalization, with particle size increases of 32% (jackfruit) and 45% (...
Flow-aligned frameworks: linking benthic currents to cold-water coral mound development using 3D photogrammetry and ADCP dataNARA Subscribed
Scleractinian cold-water corals (CWC) rely on benthic currents for the delivery of food and other resources that support their growth and subsequent mound development in the deep sea. However, the CWC-current relationship remains poorly understood, as current knowledge is predominantly derived from spatially constrained ex-situ experimentation and coarse-scale modeling. Therefore, we combined long-term in situ acoustic Doppler...
