Environmental and Protection Effects of Shark‐Companion Associations Across Three Ocean Basins
Companion species frequently associate with large marine hosts, yet the ecological drivers of these relationships remain poorly understood. Using a global dataset of midwater BRUVS deployments, we modelled the presence and abundance of shark‐companion associations across seven shark species and three ocean basins.

Abstract The Cretaceous–Eocene island arc of Hispaniola is currently shortened between the Bahamas carbonate platform to the north and the thickened crust of the Caribbean Large Igneous Province (CLIP) to the south. Within this transpressional setting, the 15–22‐km‐thick, ∼100‐km‐wide Beata Ridge (BR), the thickest portion of the CLIP, acts as a ...

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.

Two‐Layer Anisotropy Beneath Subduction Zones: Bayesian Inversion
Abstract Shear‐wave splitting measurements have the potential to constrain multiple layers of anisotropy and thereby enhance depth resolution. Using the formulation of Silver and Savage (1994, https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365‐246x.1994.tb04027.x), previous studies have employed deterministic grid‐search approaches to identify best‐fitting two‐layer ...

Abstract Noncompliance regularly undermines the effectiveness of marine protected areas (MPAs) worldwide. The reasons for and drivers of noncompliance depend on the context (e.g., insufficient funding, capacity, neocolonialism, historical conflict), but the prevalent solution offered to curtail noncompliance tends to be more or better enforcement.

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

There has been substantial research on the factors that structure reef fish assemblages, but this has mostly focused on nearshore or continental reefs. This study examines patterns of abundance and species composition for two iconic groups of coral reef ...

Flux and Isotopic Composition of Sedimentary Carbon Subducting Along the World's Trenches
Abstract Here we provide comprehensive estimates for the subducted sedimentary flux of inorganic and organic carbon and δ13C at 16 trench segments worldwide. Our calculations provide minimum (incoming sediment), maximum (trench fill) and best estimates (underthrust) of carbon fluxes.
