Opportunistic Feeding and Parasite Assemblages in Sei Whales (<i>Balaenoptera borealis</i>) From Southern Chile Revealed by DNA Metabarcoding. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study represents the first metabarcoding‐based description of prey composition and parasite‐associated taxa in stranded sei whales from southern South America. ABSTRACT Balaenopterid whales are major consumers in pelagic ecosystems and play a fundamental role in marine food webs.

Admixture and Selection Driven by El Niño-Southern Oscillation Events Shape the Genetic Structure of <i>Octopus mimus</i>-<i>O. hubbsorum</i> Complex Across the Humboldt and South Equatorial Current Transition Zone. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Whole‐genome sequencing of the Octopus mimus–O. hubbsorum complex in the eastern Pacific identified two main genetic clades—northern warm‐water and southern cold‐water lineages—with a broad admixture zone during ENSO years where admixed individuals reflect both their genomic makeup and local environments.

Reconsidering the role of introduced species in the climate-affected and highly invaded eastern Mediterranean. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Bioinvasions are considered mostly as a biodiversity and conservation hazard, but in specific situations, introduced species can bring ecological or socioeconomic benefits. We assessed the social–ecological role of marine introduced species in the eastern Mediterranean Sea—a global hotspot of bioinvasions and extirpations—and their potential ...

Edward O. Wilson (2012). The Social Conquest of Earth. New York: Liveright, 330 p.

Sociedad y Ambiente, 2014
Por varias razones, es intimidante reseñar un libro del prolífico, talentoso y famoso Edward O. Wilson. Lo intento porque realicé un paseo por las hormigas durante la licenciatura y luego incurrí en otros desvaríos en biogeografía y manejo de recursos ...

Evidence for Countergradient Growth Adaptation and Jordan's Rule in a Southern Hemisphere Fish, the Atherinopsid <i>Odontesthes regia</i>. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We performed common garden experiments on offspring of the sea silverside Odontesthes regia to characterize thermal growth reaction norms of different populations along the Chilean coast. This showed that the species exhibits local adaptation in the form of countergradient growth adaptation because higher‐latitude southern populations grew faster at ...

Marine Conservation Outcomes are More Likely when Fishers Participate as Citizen Scientists: Case Studies from the Mexican Mesoamerican Reef

Citizen Science: Theory and Practice, 2018
Small-scale fishers on Caribbean coral reefs have exploited fish spawning aggregations (FSAs) for generations, but intense fishing has led to the loss of traditional aggregation sites.

Twelve principles for successful governance of community‐based coastal marine restoration

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Global agreements, such as the Global Biodiversity Framework, call for urgent, large‐scale action to halt biodiversity loss through a whole‐of‐society approach. Community‐based restoration can play a crucial role in achieving this goal, yet there remains limited understanding of what makes these projects effective and sustainable.
