Circulation of the Caribbean Sea [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research, 1967
The geostrophic method was applied to six north-south hydrographic profiles across the Caribbean Sea and one across the Yucatan Strait. An axis of flow exists in the southern third of the Caribbean Sea. It flows directly over the steep slope in the reference layer found by Defant's method. This condition is similar to that of the Gulf Stream.

Coastal Resource Management in the Wider Caribbean: Resilience, Adaptation, and Community Diversity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The Caribbean Sea is the second largest sea in the world, including more than 30 insular and continental countries with an approximate population of 35 million. In addition to its highly fractionalized territory, it is characterized by a great linguistic

Dimorphic enantiostyly and its function for pollination by carpenter bees in a pollen‐rewarding Caribbean bloodwort

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Flowers that present their anthers and stigma in close proximity can achieve precise animal‐mediated pollen transfer, but risk self‐pollination. One evolutionary solution is reciprocal herkogamy. Reciprocity of anther and style positions among different plants (i.e., a genetic dimorphism) is common in distylous plants, but very rare in

Ichthyoplankton seasonality in the Gulf of Salamanca, Colombian Caribbean Sea

open access: yesActualidades Biológicas, 2019
The identity, density and spatial and temporal distribution of fish larvae and eggs were investigated in the Gulf of Salamanca, Colombian Caribbean. Due to scarcity of previous studies taxonomic level was restricted to families.

Callogorgia spp. and Their Brittle Stars: Recording Unknown Relationships in the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The habitat formed by the Callogorgia species, with their abundance and colony sizes, provides an important refuge for a variety of brittle stars which are recognized as the epibionts of octocorals in both shallow and deep environments.

Trouble in the Caribbean: Responses to a Potential Chinese-Bahamian Bilateral Fishing Agreement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
As of 2011, the Caribbean Sea was one of the only fisheries unoccupied by China’s Distant Water Fleet (DWF). However, in 2016, officials from the People’s Republic of China and the Bahamas discussed a proposal for a bilateral commercial fishing agreement

Phylogenomics reveals the evolution of floral traits associated with pollinators and pollinator–prey conflict within the carnivorous Pinguicula subgenus Temnoceras

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The carnivorous plant genus Pinguicula (Lentibulariaceae) exhibits remarkable floral diversity associated with pollination, particularly in the largest subgenus Temnoceras, which spans Mexico and Central America. Despite this diversity, the relationships between species and the evolution of key floral traits remain unresolved. Here, we

Distribution and structure of the southernmost Caribbean coral reefs: golfo de Urabá, Colombia

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2000
The Gulf of Urabá represents the southernmost portion of the Caribbean Sea. Due to the large amounts of sediment and freshwater discharged by the Atrato river and several minor streams, water conditions in the area are far from being optimal for coral ...
