Nature and Tourism on Tropical and Subtropical Islands

open access: yesMiscellanea Geographica: Regional Studies on Development, 2004
Tropical and subtropical islands have become an important tourist destination. The islands are concentrated in eight areas of the world. Evaluating the natural tourist potential of these areas, it seems that the most attractive are the islands of Mid and

Two new species of Dendrobrachia Brook, 1889 (Cnidaria: Octocorallia: Dendrobrachiidae) from the north-eastern Atlantic and western Mediterranean

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2010
Examination of recent benthic material collected during several cruises in the Gulf of Cadiz (NE Atlantic) and the Strait of Sicily (Mediterranean) has allowed the taxonomic reassessment of some previously identified specimens belonging to the ...

Epidemiology of Intensive Nutritional Interventions and Restraints in Hospitalizations for Anorexia Nervosa: Annual National Trends of the United States

open access: yesInternational Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Despite the clinical relevance of enteral and parenteral tube feeding and restraint use in anorexia nervosa (AN), national‐level data on their use have remained limited, particularly for total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG).

Climatic niche divergence and high‐elevation adaptation promoted rapid diversification of Pimoa spiders in Pan‐Himalaya

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
The Pan‐Himalayan region harbors exceptional biodiversity, yet the origins and underlying mechanisms driving this remarkable diversity remain poorly understood, especially among species‐rich invertebrates. Pimoa spiders exhibit an intercontinental disjunct distribution across three major mountain regions: the Rockies, the Alps, and the Pan‐Himalaya ...

The View from the Sea: The Power of a Blue Comparative Literature

open access: yesHumanities, 2020
This paper advocates for a blue comparative literature that uses the view from the sea to provide new axes for comparison. Roy Jacobsen’s De usynlige (The Unseen, 2013) and Sarah Moss’s Night Waking (2011) explore subsistence lives on small islands in ...

Stochastic and deterministic processes influencing mountain mire diatom communities across spatial scales

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Understanding how deterministic and stochastic processes influence the shape of microorganism community assembly across different spatial scales is essential for disentangling biodiversity patterns. Mires are nutrient‐poor and heterogeneous wetlands that form isolated habitats supporting highly diverse diatom assemblages, particularly in mountainous ...

Community‐level egg and larval trait interactions with the Amazon River plume determine its role as a dispersal barrier

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
The Amazon River plume (ARP) functions as a dynamic and porous biogeographic barrier whose permeability to larval dispersal depends on the interplay between species' biological traits and oceanographic processes. Using biophysical modeling combined with a dual analytical framework, namely a multivariate regression tree (MRT) and a generalized additive ...

“You just want to re‐open our biggest wounds, don't you?”: Homeplace ethnography as (polluted) environmental method

open access: yesFeminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract When I was 12, my family told me a story about their community falling apart and coming together, a time when someone tried putting a nuclear facility in their (our?) hometown. Since we moved when I was too young to remember, the story had little significance until I embarked on a “hometown” ethnographic journey for my dissertation.

Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

open access: yesFood Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...
