The microbiological quality of coastal or river waters can be affected by faecal pollution from human or animal sources. An efficient MST (Microbial Source Tracking) toolbox consisting of several host-specific markers would therefore be valuable for identifying the origin of the faecal pollution in the environment and thus for effective resource management and remediation. In this multidiscipli...

Scientists, site managers and regulators participating in environmental remediation activities usually need to access, create, and manage large amounts of heterogeneous data, including disparate site characterization data, and models that range from conceptual to numerical. The data are necessary to enable the development of conceptual and numerical models, parameter estimation, and multiple si...

Worldwide declines in riverine fish abundance and diversity have been linked to the fragmentation of aquatic habitats through the installation of instream structures (e.g. culverts, dams, weirs and barrages). Restoring riverine connectivity can be achieved by remediating structures impeding fish movements by, for example, replacing smooth substrates of pipe culverts with naturalistic substrates...

Alterations to the natural hydrologic regime in regulated rivers can disrupt cues that initiate the maturation and spawning of riverine fish, or they can change the conditions which are suitable for the recruitment of larvae into juvenile populations. Observations of fish larvae have the potential to provide insights into the effects of flow regulation, showing whether it has had a greater impa...
