The Nassau grouper Epinephelus striatus (Bloch, 1792): Monitoring of the spawning aggregation site 'El Blanquizal', southern Mexican Caribbean. [PDF]

J Fish Biol
Abstract ‘El Blanquizal’ was one of the most important Nassau grouper (Epinephelus striatus) spawning aggregation sites (SAS) in the Mexican Caribbean. However, the characteristics of the population that still uses this site for reproduction remain unknown.

Incorporating cyclone risk in the design of marine protected and conserved areas as an ecosystem-based adaptation approach. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Marine protected and conserved areas (MPCAs) are promoted as an ecosystem‐based adaptation (EbA) approach to increase community and ecosystem resilience to climate change. However, traditional approaches to MPCA design typically do not consider climate risk or habitat condition under a climate threat.

DNA barcoding of marine rocky reef fishes from northern Peru suggests a parapatric speciation in the Tropical Eastern Pacific. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Using a DNA barcoding technique we found evidence that reinforce the hypotheses of how parapatric speciation could drive the origin of new species in the TEP. Abstract Northern Peru marks the end of an extensive coastal marine region: The Panama province, which is characterized by predominantly tropical and equatorial features and is home to the only ...

Island restoration to rebuild seabird populations and amplify coral reef functioning. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Mobile organisms like seabirds can provide important nutrient flows between ecosystems, but this connectivity has been interrupted by the degradation of island ecosystems. Island restoration (via invasive species eradications and the restoration of native vegetation) can reestablish seabird populations and their nutrient transfers between ...

Conservation benefits of a large marine protected area network that spans multiple ecosystems. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Marine protected areas (MPAs) are widely implemented tools for long‐term ocean conservation and resource management. Assessments of MPA performance have largely focused on specific ecosystems individually and have rarely evaluated performance across multiple ecosystems either in an individual MPA or across an MPA network.

Simulating drifting fish aggregating device trajectories to identify potential interactions with endangered sea turtles. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Purse‐seine fishers using drifting fish aggregating devices (dFADs), mainly built with bamboo, plastic buoys, and plastic netting, to aggregate and catch tropical tuna, deploy 46,000–65,000 dFADs per year in the Pacific Ocean. Some of the major concerns associated with this widespread fishing device are potential entanglement of sea turtles ...

Opportunities, research gaps, and risks in allogenic ecosystem engineer mimicry. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract In an age of anthropogenically driven species loss and increasingly novel ecosystems, ecosystem engineer restoration is a process‐based approach to supporting ecosystem function. Many ecosystem engineers have low or declining population sizes.
