Integrating fossil data in ecological niche models to improve predictions of future habitat of Caribbean corals

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecological niche models (ENMs) are used to assess the abiotic preferences of species by linking their occurrences to the environmental conditions in which they live. We developed a fossil‐informed ENM framework that integrates mid‐Holocene and modern occurrences to test niche stability and reconstruct abiotic niche characteristics for four ...

ESQUEMAS DE DISTRIBUCIÓN ESPACIAL EN LA COMUNIDAD BENTÓNICA DE ARRECIFES CORALINOS CONTINENTALES Y OCEÁNICOS DEL CARIBE COLOMBIANO

Revista de la Academia Colombiana de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales, 2023
El Mar Caribe colombiano posee tanto arrecifes coralinos continentales costeros, como oceánicos. A partir de muestreos cuantitativos usando video-transectos de cadena, y análisis multivariados, se determinó que existen esquemas de variación espacial a ...

Assessing responses of reef island seabirds to environmental and anthropogenic drivers

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Tropical insular ecosystems face escalating, cumulative impacts of land‐ and sea‐based ecological threats that jeopardize the long‐term sustainability of their native communities. This joint vulnerability is epitomized by reef island seabirds, which are exposed to reef decline and coastal erosion driven by climate change, reduction in prey ...

Antifouling capacity of substrate materials and their effects on settlement and post‐settlement survival of Acropora palmata and Orbicella faveolata

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction In coral reef restoration, sexual reproduction is a key methodology to enhance coral population recovery. However, post‐settlement survival remains a major bottleneck, as spat are particularly vulnerable to competition with fouling organisms.

Moonlight Duration and Intensity Favour Nocturnal Activity in a Diurnal Desert Bird

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 629-641, September 2026.
Accelerometer data show that Canarian houbara bustards increase nocturnal activity two‐ to fivefold when the moon is visible, with activity rising as moonlit duration and illumination increase. Both display and non‐display behaviours peaked around full moon, reaching up to half of peak daytime levels, with males increasing visual displays during ...

Magnetic Signature of the Corona Lava Tube (Lanzarote, Canary Islands), a Lunar and Martian Planetary Analog

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Lava tubes and caves are key exploration targets on the Moon and Mars due to their potential to serve as natural infrastructure for future crewed missions. However, identifying these structures efficiently and reliably remains a major challenge.

Eastern North Atlantic Strandings Validate Genetic Patterns in Pygmy and Dwarf Sperm Whales (Kogiidae)

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Pygmy (Kogia breviceps) and dwarf (Kogia sima) sperm whales are among the least studied cetaceans due to their elusive behavior and low detectability at sea. Molecular approaches are therefore essential to clarify their taxonomy, population structure, and conservation status. We present new mitochondrial DNA data from stranded K. breviceps and

Reef fish assemblages impacted by sponges overgrowing corals

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Numerous stressors are driving long‐term declines in coral cover on coral reefs, significantly impacting reef fish biodiversity and community structure. The benthic space made available by declining coral cover is often occupied by increases in other organisms, including macroalgae, encrusting ascidians, and sponges.
