Abstract Zooplankton transfer substantial energy in aquatic food webs and are used as indicators of environmental change. Syntheses of zooplankton community dynamics globally require datasets that span a wide range of environmental gradients; however, these datasets are limited due to methodological differences across programs, taxonomic ...

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 ...

The Gulf of California (GC) is a semi-closed sea in the Tropical Eastern Pacific and is recognised as a highly diverse marine ecosystem. Despite this status, this region is still poorly studied in comparison to other marine hotspots.

Primer acercamiento para establecer Áreas Marinas Manejadas Localmente en República Dominicana
El establecimiento de Áreas Marinas Manejadas Localmente (LMMA, por sus siglas en inglés) es considerada una estrategia efectiva para la conservación de biodiversidad y la cogestión de recursos. A pesar de su éxito en otros países, específicamente en la

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 ...

Driven by Drones: Improving Mangrove Extent Maps Using High-Resolution Remote Sensing
This study investigated how different remote sensing techniques can be combined to accurately monitor mangroves. In this paper, we present a framework to use drone imagery to calculate correction factors which can improve the accuracy of satellite-based ...

Connecting the distribution and diversification of marine plants
Integration of the evolutionary history with distribution of extant species is necessary to explain present‐day diversity, particularly for ‘foundation' species, such as seagrasses, which create habitats of socioecological relevance. Here, we resolved if varying evolutionary history of seagrass families has imprinted the distribution ranges of extant ...

Abstract Pastoral practices remain a widespread economic activity across European mountain regions. However, the viability of this activity may be threatened by the recovery of large wild vertebrates associated with passive rewilding, leading to the so‐called human–wildlife conflicts.

PRINCIPALES AMENAZAS A LA BIODIVERSIDAD MARINA
Evaluaciones recientes sobre el conocimiento de la biodiversidad registran que las especies marinas corresponden apenas a un 15% del total de los taxones conocidos en el planeta.
