Time can be a limiting constraint for consumers, particularly when resource phenology mediates foraging opportunity. Though a large body of research has explored how resource phenology influences trophic interactions, this work has focused on the topics of trophic mismatch or predator swamping, which typically occur over short periods, at small...
Mangroves provide a wide range of ecosystem services, including nutrient cycling, soil formation, wood production, fish spawning grounds, ecotourism and carbon (C) storage¹. High rates of tree and plant growth, coupled with anaerobic, water-logged soils that slow decomposition, result in large long-term C storage. Given their global significance as large...

Mangroves are recognized to possess a variety of ecosystem services including
high rates of carbon sequestration and storage. Deforestation and conversion of these
ecosystems continue to be high and have been predicted to result in significant carbon
emissions to the atmosphere. Yet few studies have quantified the carbon stocks or...
Tropical peatlands cover an estimated 440,000 km² (~10% of global peatland area) and are significant in the global
carbon cycle by storing about 40–90 Gt C in peat. Over the past several decades, tropical peatlands have experienced
high rates of deforestation and conversion, which is often associated with lowering the...

Background: Studies indicate that problems utilized in traditional undergraduate engineering education do not adequately prepare students for the workforce. Calls to implement authentic, ill-structured problems into upper level engineering experiences may address this issue but adopting authentic engineering problems without considering barriers to adoption of faculty has not been fully...
