Multi‐Scale Habitat Selection of Greater Caribbean Manatees in Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, Mexico
ABSTRACT Habitat selection describes population distribution as a function of environmental features. It is a fundamental process with primordial ecological and evolutionary implications. To accurately describe habitat selection, it is important to identify temporal and spatial scales perceived by the population and use these scales when modeling ...

Harnessing Solar Energy to Reduce Sea Turtle Bycatch
ABSTRACT Over the past decade, illuminating gillnets with LED lights or chemical lightsticks has emerged as a promising solution to reduce sea turtle bycatch while maintaining target fish catch across multiple ocean basins. However, LED lights require replaceable batteries, and chemical lightsticks only last 24 h, leading to recurring operational costs

Evolution of the vaquita/totoaba socio‐ecological system in the Upper Gulf of California, Mexico
Abstract The Upper Gulf of California (UGC) hosts a rich marine biodiversity. Complex climatic processes generate high biological productivity enabling the use of resources in a complex socio‐ecological processes (SEPs). Through a literature review, evolution and aggravation of the SEP over 50 years are analyzed.

Investigation of the ultrahard teeth of a mollusk find in the tropical Pacific reveals the presence of multiple phases of iron oxide as well as calcium phosphate, with highly tuned microstructural features. The combination of these features results in an abrasion‐resistant tough structure with a self‐sharpening ability, which contribute to developing ...

Abstract Round rays (family: Urotrygonidae) are commonly caught as by‐catch by shrimp trawl fisheries in the tropical eastern Pacific (TEP). However, little information on their life history and catch species composition exists for most round ray species, preventing the evaluation of the impact of fishing on their populations.
