Population structure and genetic connectivity of the scalloped hammerhead shark (Sphyrna lewini) across nursery grounds from the Eastern Tropical Pacific: Implications for management and conservation.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Defining demographically independent units and understanding patterns of gene flow between them is essential for managing and conserving exploited populations.

Structural Heterogeneity Shapes Segmentation of Megathrust Earthquakes and Volcanism in Central America

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract The mechanisms underlying the patchy distribution of forearc megathrust earthquakes and arc volcanoes in subduction zones remain poorly understood. Here we present a high‐resolution seismic tomographic model of the Central American subduction zone, derived from a joint inversion of local body‐wave and teleseismic Rayleigh‐wave data.

Integrating cover crops to enhance abaca (Musa textilis Nee) production in Leyte, East‐Central Philippines

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Abaca (Musa textilis Nee) is a fiber crop, closely related to banana (Musa sp.). However, it requires 15–18 months from transplanting to first harvest, leaving the soil between plants vulnerable to erosion or weed infestation. Integrating cover crops into abaca plantations may help mitigate these issues.

From Suitability to Invasion Risk: Integrating Correlative and Mechanistic Models for Predicting the Potential Distribution of the Red Palm Weevil

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
The invasive Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (RPW) causes severe economic and ecological damage to palm systems worldwide. This study develops a hybrid modeling framework integrating correlative ecological niche models and a temperature‐driven mechanistic risk index, demonstrating superior predictive accuracy (sensitivity = 0.98) compared to individual ...

A new combination in Strophopappus (Asteraceae, Vernonieae, Lepidaploinae)

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.
Revisions of herbarium collections reveal a new combination in Strophopappus (Asteraceae, Vernonieae, Lepidaploinae). Strophopappus comprises nine species occurring in South America, eight of which are endemic to Brazil. Currently, Vernonia riedeliana is treated as a synonym of Strophopappus bicolor.

Estimasi Karbon Tersimpan pada Tegakan Pohon di Hutan Pantai Pulau Kotok Besar, Bagian Barat, Kepulauan Seribu

Al-Kauniyah Jurnal Biologi, 2015
The high activity of urban communities anthropogenic especially in Jakarta City cause high rates of carbon emissions. This problem is increased with the high rate of deforestation which is high enough in urban areas.

Speciation with gene flow

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1476-1499, September 2026.
Biodiversity is threatened by human activities, with extinction debt accumulating rapidly. Many of these activities change the connectivity of populations, fragmenting existing population systems or bringing previously isolated populations or species into contact.

Thermal and Structural Signatures Associated With Subducted Seamounts in Hyuga‐nada and Off Cape Muroto, Southwest Japan

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract We present heat flow estimates beneath the forearc slopes off Hyuga‐nada and Cape Muroto in the Nankai Trough, where the Philippine Sea plate subducts beneath the southwestern Japan. Using seismic reflection data, we identified Bottom Simulating Reflectors and derived heat flow ranging from 20 to >140 mW/m2.

Reconstruction of Diadema mexicanum bioerosion impact on three Costa Rican Pacific coral reefs

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2012
The 1982-83 El Niño event produced a high coral mortality (50-90%) in several localities in the Eastern Tropical Pacific, which resulted in an outbreak of the sea urchin populations of Diadema mexicanum A.
