Abstract:
Abstract Population dynamics are governed by four demographic rates: births, deaths, immigration, and emigration. Variation in these rates and processes underlying such variation can be used to prioritize habitat conservation and restoration as well as to parameterize models that predict habitat-specific effects on population dynamics. The current understanding of patterns of habitat-specific demographic variability in exploited marine species, as well as processes underlying these patterns, was reviewed. We describe patterns of (i) habitat-specific density, followed by ontogenetic changes in

Abstract:
Post-settlement processes can regulate the size and structure of marine invertebrate and fish populations. Faster growth and better physiological condition generally increase the survival potential of early juveniles, being usually associated with structurally complex habitats. Successive cohorts of early juvenile Carcinus maenas were followed in sandy and seagrass (Zostera noltii) habitats in the Mira Estuary, Portugal, to estimate growth and physiological condition (evaluated by RNA/DNA ratio) of juvenile populations. Mean cohort growth was similar in both habitats. However, in the sandy hab

The identification of important spawning and nursery habitats for fish stocks can aid fisheries management, but is complicated by various factors, including annual variation in recruitment success. The alewife ( Alosa pseudoharengus ) is an ecologically important species in Lake Michigan that utilizes a variety of habitats for spawning and early life growth. While productive, warm tributary mouths (connected to Lake Michigan) may contribute disproportionately more recruits (relative to their habitat volume) to the adult alewife population than cooler, less productive nearshore habitats, the ex

Habitats used by the Python (Python bivittatus) were studied in lowland areas of Bardiya National Park, Nepal. The main objective of the study was to assess the specific habitats used by Python in the Park. In association with key informants’ survey to identify the potential habitats areas, field investigation was conducted and found out the specific sites. Among twenty habitat sites of Python, three were currently used and remaining other were found as potential habitats. In total, six specific habitats such as burrow or holes were mostly preferred by Python.ECOPRINT 22: 85-90, 2015

The blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) is ecologically and economically important in Chesapeake Bay. Nursery habitats, such as seagrass beds, disproportionately contribute individuals to the adult segment of populations. Salt marshes dominated by smooth cordgrass Spartina alterniflora are intertidal nursery habitats which may serve as a refuge from predation for juvenile blue crabs. However, the effects of various characteristics of salt marshes on nursery metrics, such as survival, have not been quantified.

<strong>Abstract</strong> Background The intensification of agricultural practices over the twentieth century led to a cascade of detrimental effects on ecosystems. In Europe, agri-environment schemes (AES) have since been adopted to counter the decrease in farmland biodiversity, with the promotion of extensive habitats such as wildflower strips and extensive meadows. Despite having beneficial effects documented for multiple taxa, their profitability for top farmland predators, like raptors, is still debated.

Habitat loss is considered to be one of the greatest challenges currently facing society. An important part of the European Union's (EU) response to this problem is the Habitats Directive, the main aim of which is to protect biodiversity through the conservation and protection of natural habitats. Consequently, accurate mapping of specific habitats is of high importance in order to monitor ecosystem changes. Within this context, remote sensing has enormous potential as a source of land cover information which has been used widely for land cover mapping. In many instances this land cover mappin

Abstract:
Abstract Pipeline coating selection is currently carried out at an early stage in a project with little reference to actual site conditions. Early consideration of geotechnical conditions in coating selection and backfill design could prove technically, economically and environmentally beneficial. In addition, bedding, padding and backfilling requirements are not specified on a project specific basis and the current methodology for design, engineering and construction does not allow optimization of the coating and backfill system. In comparison to the pipeline design engineer's ability to unde

Abstract:
According to the EU, Circular economy represents a development strategy that entails economic growth without increasing consumption of resources, deeply transform production chains and consumption habits and redesign industrial systems at the system level. The decisive economic branch in ensuring circularity is industry. Thus, the engineer becomes the key to success, but for this he must be trained in order to support the sustainability of production. Through the curricula of the Department of Engineering and Management of Technological Systems (IMST), students are trained in fields such as en

So, the majority, or 14 species, of those described for the given area, prefer habitats within liziation, rarefaction, agrocenoses or open spaces, and only 4 species are strictly forest.

In the context of smart and resilient extraterrestrial habitats, the structural health monitoring (SHM) of habitats is crucial and challenging due to the harsh space environments. To this end, a novel anomaly detection framework is developed based on active sensing and information theory. Active sensing involves the excitation of the structure at specific locations and collecting acceleration data using sensors. The collected data from different excitation points and sensor locations are analyzed, and the extracted information is fused to further enhance anomaly detection. More specifically, a

Cumacea (crustaceans: Peracarida) are vital indicators of benthic health in marine ecosystems. This study investigated the influence of environmental (i.e., biological or ecosystemic), climatic (i.e., meteorological or atmospheric), and geographic (i.e., spatial or regional) attributes on their genetic variability in the Northern North Atlantic, focusing on Icelandic waters. We analyzed mitochondrial sequences of the 16S rRNA gene from 62 Cumacea specimens.

Abstract:
Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) growing in estuarine and coastal marine systems provides crucial ecosystem functions ranging from sediment stabilization to habitat and food for specific species. SAV systems, however, are sensitive to a number of environmental factors, both anthropogenic and natural. The most common limiting factors are light limitation, water quality, and salinity, as reported widely across the literature. These factors are controlled by a number of complex processes, however, varying greatly between systems and SAV populations. This report seeks to conduct an exhaustive ex
