Phylogeography of the crown-of-thorns starfish in the Indian Ocean [PDF]

, 2012
Background: Understanding the limits and population dynamics of closely related sibling species in the marine realm is particularly relevant in organisms that require management.

Microplastic distribution in the marine and freshwater ecosystems of Cocos Island National Park, Costa Rica

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environment
The presence of microplastics (MPs) has been documented in remote sites, including Cocos Island, an oceanic island in the Costa Rican Pacific Ocean, which serves as a temporary home to park rangers, researchers, volunteers, and tourists.

Modern Vertical Deformation above the Sumatran Subduction Zone: Paleogeodetic Insights from Coral Microatolls [PDF]

, 2000
Coral microatolls from the coast and outer-arc islands of Western Sumatra retain a stratigraphic and morphologic record of relative sea-level change, which is due in large part to vertical tectonic deformation above the Sumatran subduction zone.

Biogeography, Systematics, and Ecomorphology of Pacific Island Anoles

Diversity, 2019
Anoles are regarded as important models for understanding dynamic processes in ecology and evolution. Most work on this group has focused on species in the Caribbean Sea, and recently in mainland South and Central America.

Stochastic versus deterministic assembly of oceanic island biota: leaf-dwelling lichens on the Galápagos and on Cocos Island

Frontiers of Biogeography
We used a simulation approach to test whether species compo­sition on oceanic islands follows deterministic assembly rules based on probabilities of successful dispersal and establishment.

Distinct Microbial Community of Phyllosphere Associated with Five Tropical Plants on Yongxing Island, South China Sea

Microorganisms, 2019
The surfaces of a leaf are unique and wide habitats for a microbial community. These microorganisms play a key role in plant growth and adaptation to adverse conditions, such as producing growth factors to promote plant growth and inhibiting pathogens to

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

First record and impact of the crown-of-thorns starfish, Acanthaster planci (Spinulosida: Acanthasteridae) on corals of Malpelo Island, Colombian Pacific

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2010
The crown-of-thorns starfish, Acanthaster planci, is a major coral predator widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific region, where population outbreaks have caused dramatic impacts on coral reefs. In the Tropical Eastern Pacific (TEP) A.
