"My new research, published today in the Journal of Morphology, reveals their body structure to be surprisingly complex – far more than we once thought. In fact, it shows snakes have among the most complex spines in reptiles."

@wikidata Cool tool! However, I find myself confused on the hyphenation tasks. I thought that hyphenation and syllabification were two different things. I thought that hyphenation was a typography concern and syllabification was related to phonology. But the hyphenation task references this hyphenation property:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P5279
which defines hyphenation as "positions where a word can be hyphenated" and yet, in the "also known as" column, includes the term "syllabification".
Which is it?
For example, the word "Japanology".
For hyphenation, I would leave "ology" as a phonological suffix, and the only hyphen would be between "Japan" and "ology". "Japan‧ology". I've always heard that hyphenation is more a matter of taste than a strict set of rules.
But for syllabification, I would want the number of syllables to equal the number of vowel sounds (five). So syllabification would look something like "Ja‧pan‧ol‧o‧gy".
Though frankly, it seems that there are a whole bunch of rules for syllabification that I either was never taught in school or have thoroughly forgot.
Dropping some linguistics-related tags below to see if I can nerd-snipe anybody into providing more authoritative and/or helpful commentary.

Impact of River Morphology on River–Groundwater Exchange in Braided River Systems

H/T @thomas Wöhling | Professor at TU Dresden
“Do you like braided rivers? We think they are soooo beautiful. And they are interesting to study as well. Particularly how these complex and transient systems interact with regional aquifers…”
--
“Coupled models of two braided rivers with real, pre- and postflood event morphologies are studied for river–groundwater exchange changes…”
--
“Braided river systems are an important source for groundwater recharge, but their complex morphology makes river–groundwater exchange fluxes difficult to estimate. Their river channel morphology changes frequently after floods, which has effects on recharge rates that have rarely been studied in the past. This work aims to isolate the effects of changes in braided river morphology on groundwater recharge for two sections of the Wairau River and Waikirikiri River in New Zealand. For each study site, two different river morphology variants of a fully coupled surface water–groundwater model utilizing high-resolution DEMs of river bathymetry before and after a major flood event were set up while keeping parameterization and boundary conditions the same. The models demonstrate that flood-induced morphology changes in braided river systems alter groundwater recharge. [They] identif[ied] features, both simulated and observed, that explain the direction of change. Features that increase groundwater recharge are a larger braidplain aquifer extent and volume, larger wetted area and, specifically, an increase of areas with high exchange rates in locations of larger gradients between braidplain aquifer and regional aquifer. These factors influence groundwater recharge independent of connection (Wairau River) or disconnection (Waikirikiri River) of the system to the regional aquifer, albeit with different magnitudes. An extension of [their] research to other braided rivers is needed to more broadly generalize [their] findings...”

Impact Of Floods On Surface Water Quality - A Systematic Review And Comprehensive Assessment

“Floods, as extreme flow events, are among the costliest and devastating natural hazards. Among the various domains impacted by flooding, environmental degradation, particularly the deterioration of water quality (WQ), is one of the most impacted yet often overlooked. Therefore, it is essential to understand the nature and source of water pollution associated with flooding. This study aims to evaluate and assess multiple studies conducted globally to determine the impact of floods on WQ. A literature review and assessment of 66 studies published between 2007 and 2026 was conducted using the total comprehensiveness score (TCS). To support the scoring process, studies that scored more than 70% of the maximum achievable TCS (15.4) are considered the most detailed and comprehensive in addressing the objectives of this review. 16 studies achieved a TCS above 15.4, indicating that a limited number of studies incorporate a broader set of factors in this domain. A higher number of studies were conducted post the year 2021, highlighting both scientific progress and a growing focus on WQ impacts from disasters such as floods, beyond the traditionally emphasized socio-economic loss. Among the shortlisted studies, fluvial floods are the most frequently examined, followed by pluvial floods and coastal floods. During fluvial floods, turbidity increased by up to two orders of magnitude, while nutrient concentrations (TN, TP) typically rose by ∼ 10–30%. In contrast, pluvial floods were characterised by dilution-driven decreases in EC and TDS, with DOX, BOD and COD showing variable responses across flood types. This review evaluates flood impacts on WQ, catchment characteristics, and sources of WQ modification. The findings of the research reveal that not all WQ parameters are responsible for WQ degradation during every flood event. Rather, it is a combination of certain parameters that leads to deteriorated WQ. WQ degradation depends on interacting factors such as flood duration, extent, depth, and flow dynamics. In overall, this study provides an overview of the multiple cascading impacts of floods on WQ, along with a detailed perspective on the set of criteria that should be considered in future research…”

“Rivers impact the well-being of humans and the environment. As they increasingly face planetary-scale stressors, it is critically important to monitor and understand rivers at the global scale. As the only synoptic resource for global primary data on rivers, satellite remote sensing has recently begun to provide unprecedented opportunities for the monitoring, understanding, and prediction of global river behaviour. Despite these advances, the role of satellite remote sensing in global river science has still not been fully explored. New satellite systems and algorithms will enable substantial improvements in river measurements, provide new answers to long-standing or newly emerging scientific questions, and eventually update basic knowledge of rivers to advance global river science. In this [paper they] explore how remote sensing has been used to study the world’s rivers, examine challenges and opportunities for further advancing our understanding of rivers using existing and upcoming sensors, and identify possible solutions and future research directions…”

Although I am easily distracted, it is never for nought. Today, I've been thinking of the orthography and morphology of Parsifal whilst trying to decide which version to run with.
My first 'real' encounter with Perceval was Chrétien de Troyes' unfinished version, but Wagner's version seems to have stuck with me.

🧬 New paper by Dera et al. in Science Advances proposing a geometric complexity space to map the full morphological diversity of life.
Striking result: life occupies only a tiny, clustered region of all geometrically possible forms, with large heteromorphic regions systematically avoided. The authors argue that this reflects deep physical and developmental constraints shaping evolution.

#Morphology in #Biology is the study of the form and structure of organisms, including their external appearance, size, shape, and internal components like bones and organs.
It examines how these parts are arranged and how they relate to each other, and plays a crucial role in classifying species and understanding their evolutionary relationships.
