Seasonal Patterns of the Caribbean Current and Its Influence on the Small Island of Curaçao

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Large‐scale ocean currents exhibit spatial and temporal variability that can influence local circulation patterns, particularly around small islands. Two distinct flow regimes were previously identified around the southern Caribbean island of Curaçao: (a) strong northwestward flow, and (b) cyclonic eddies or low‐energy conditions ...

Where Value Resides:Making Ecological Value Possible [PDF]

, 2015
Distinguishing between the source and the locus of value enables environmental philosophers to consider not only what is of value, but also to try to develop a conception of valuation that is itself ecological. Such a conception must address difficulties

‘Missing persons’: Ancient legacies of human–environment interaction in tropical natural properties inscribed under the 1972 World Heritage Convention

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue S2, Page S9-S30, May 2026.
Abstract Cultural and natural values form the core of World Heritage designation. Properties displaying both values, however, comprise a fraction of inscriptions (currently c. 3%) to the World Heritage List. In 1992, when that fraction stood at c. 5%, adoption of the popular ‘cultural landscapes’ category of cultural heritage in 1992 was therefore ...

Shifting Trends in Tropical Ecology Research Over Six Decades

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
We analyzed over 170,000 tropical ecology publications (1960–2023) using a large language model to extract study location and biome information at scale. We show that research has grown across all biomes but is increasingly dominated by forests, with grassy ecosystems declining in relative representation and strong geographic concentration in a small ...

Projected Risks to Biodiversity Conservation Along Brazil's Equatorial Margin Under Expanding Offshore Oil Development

Conservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Brazil's Equatorial Margin is one of the least studied yet most ecologically significant regions of the Atlantic Ocean. Encompassing the Amazon coast, the region is entering a new phase of industrial expansion. In 2025, Brazil issued its first offshore oil exploration license in two decades, opening the door to large‐scale hydrocarbon ...

The implications of overshooting 1.5 °C on Earth system tipping elements—a review

Environmental Research Letters
Due to insufficient emission reductions in recent years, it is increasingly likely that global warming will exceed the 1.5 °C temperature limit in the late 2020s or 2030s.

Ecological traits influencing range expansion across large oceanic dispersal barriers: insights from tropical Atlantic reef fishes [PDF]

, 2011
How do biogeographically different provinces arise in response to oceanic barriers to dispersal? Here, we analyse how traits related to the pelagic dispersal and adult biology of 985 tropical reef fish species correlate with their establishing ...

Metacommunity Structure, Species Richness and Species Composition of Reef Fish Trophic Guilds Along an Extensive Latitudinal Gradient in the Tropics

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Our goals were (1) to identify the metacommunity structure of the reef fish fauna as well as the structure of its constituent trophic guilds (invertivores, generalist carnivores, omnivores, herbivores, planktivores and piscivores); (2) to evaluate the extent to which metacommunity compartmentalization is associated with biogeographic ...
