Dependence of sediment sorting on bedload transport phase in a river meander
(Wiley, 2018-03-05)
It is widely recognized nowadays that there are at least two different phases of bedload sediment transport in gravel‐bed rivers. However, the transition between these phases is still poorly or subjectively ...
Bed load transport and incipient motion below a large gravel bed river bend
(Elsevier, 2017-08-08)
A new data set of bed load measurements in a cross-section at the exit of a river bend is presented. Data are analyzed to identify processes that contribute to the morphodynamic stability of gravel bed ...
Occurrence of cyclic imines in European commercial seafood and consumers risk assessment
(Elsevier, 2017-12-01)
Cyclic imines constitute a quite recently discovered group of marine biotoxins that act on neural receptors and that bioaccumulate in seafood. They are grouped together due to the imino group functioning ...
Herbivore control in connected seascapes: habitat determines when population regulation occurs in the life history of a key herbivore
(Wiley, 2018-02-08)
Herbivore outbreaks often trigger catastrophic overgrazing events in marine macrophyte ecosystems. The sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus, the dominant herbivore of shallow Mediterranean seascapes, is ...
The role of forest maturity in extreme hydrological events
(Wiley, 2018-02-10)
This study aims to clarify the influence of forests, as well as other prevalent land cover types, on extreme hydrological events through a land cover gradient design. We selected 10 catchments within a ...
Avoiding quantification bias in metabarcoding: Application of a cell biovolume correction factor in diatom molecular biomonitoring
(Wiley, 2017-12-26)
In recent years, remarkable progress has been made in developing environmental DNA metabarcoding. However, its ability to quantify species relative abundance remains uncertain, limiting its application ...
Rapid screening and multi-toxin profile confirmation of tetrodotoxins and analogues in human body fluids derived from a puffer fish poisoning incident in New Caledonia
(Elsevier, 2017-12-30)
In August 2014, a puffer fish poisoning incidence resulting in one fatality was reported in New Caledonia. Although tetrodotoxin (TTX) intoxication was established from the patients' signs and symptoms, ...
