DNA Barcoding of Moon Jellyfish (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa, Ulmaridae, Aurelia): Two Cryptic Species from the Azores (NE Atlantic, Macaronesia), and Evaluation of the Non-Indigenous Species (NIS)

Diversity, 2023
Moon jellies are some of the most popular, widely distributed, and best-studied marine jellyfish. By the end of the past century only two or three Aurelia species were recognized, but with the rise of DNA barcoding studies, around thirty Aurelia species ...

Tracking integrated ecosystem assessments in the ICES network: a social network analysis of the ICES expert groups

ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2023
The advice the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) provides to its member countries is crucial for the sustainable management of shared marine resources, and the conservation of relevant marine ecosystems.

Patterns and mechanisms underlying ecoregion delineation in North American freshwater plants

bioRxiv, 2021
Aim Biogeographical regionalisations are actively studied in different ecosystems, because they increase our understanding on fundamental broad□scale patterns and can help us in the establishment of conservation areas.

Physicochemical characterization of free troposphere and marine boundary layer ice-nucleating particles collected by aircraft in the eastern North Atlantic

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023
. Atmospheric ice nucleation impacts the hydrological cycle and climate by modifying the radiative properties of clouds. To improve our predictive understanding of ice formation, ambient ice-nucleating particles (INPs) need to be collected and ...

A Comparison of Machine Learning and Geostatistical Approaches for Mapping Forest Canopy Height over the Southeastern US Using ICESat-2

Remote Sensing, 2022
The availability of canopy height information in the Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite-2’s (ICESat-2’s) land and vegetation product, or ATL08, presents opportunities for developing full-coverage products over broad spatial scales. The primary goal

Genetic population structure of the Blackspot seabream (Pagellus bogaraveo): contribution of mtDNA control region to fisheries management

Mitochondrial DNA. Part A, DNA mapping, sequencing, and analysis, 2021
Marine fisheries management models have traditionally considered biological parameters and geopolitical boundaries. The result is the existence of fisheries management units that do not match genetic populations.

Enhancing the utility of known-biomass production models: a case study of the Bay of Biscay and Iberian Coast ecoregion

Scientia Marina
Our general purpose is to support the use of known-biomass production models (KBPMs), illustrating their usefulness by addressing the evolution of surplus production (SP) over time and the factors affecting it (e.g. environment).
