Accretionary Prism and Forearc Deformation Driven by the Beata Ridge Indentation in Southern Hispaniola: Insights From the Offshore San Pedro Basin

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
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 ...

Two‐Layer Anisotropy Beneath Subduction Zones: Bayesian Inversion

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
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 ...

A practical, adaptive compliance management framework for improving marine protected area effectiveness

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
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.

High Genetic Diversity in Geographically Remote Populations of Endemic and Widespread Coral Reef Angelfishes (genus: Centropyge)

open access: yesDiversity, 2013
In the terrestrial environment, endemic species and isolated populations of widespread species have the highest rates of extinction partly due to their low genetic diversity.

Impact of Global Warming on Coral Reefs

open access: yesWalailak Journal of Science and Technology, 2011
In this paper, we review coral reef responses to climate variability and discuss the possible mechanisms by which climate impacts the coral reef ecosystem. Effects of oceanographic variables such as sea temperature, turbulence, salinity, and nutrients on

Multidecadal underwater surveys reveal declines in marine turtles

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice
Marine turtles are a group of imperiled marine megafauna particularly vulnerable to anthropogenic stressors. Most long‐term studies of marine turtles are based on nesting surveys which focus on numbers of eggs, hatchlings, and nesting females.
