Living in mixed species groups promotes predator learning in degraded habitats

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Living in mix-species aggregations provides animals with substantive anti-predator, foraging and locomotory advantages while simultaneously exposing them to costs, including increased competition and pathogen exposure.

Biodiversity Credits: An Overview of the Current State, Future Opportunities, and Potential Pitfalls

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity credits are an emerging vehicle for pro‐environmental financing, yet much uncertainty remains around how and when they could boost biodiversity conservation. Here we define what biodiversity credits are and explore impact pathways through a proposed theory of change. Based on evidence from 34 pilot projects and a review of lessons

Assessing acute thermal assays as a rapid screening tool for coral restoration

open access: yesScientific Reports
Escalating environmental threats to coral reefs coincides with global advancements in coral restoration programs. To improve long-term efficacy, practitioners must consider incorporating genotypes resilient to ocean warming and disease while maintaining ...

Deforestation and economic growth trends on oceanic islands highlight the need for meso-scale analysis and improved mid-range theory in conservation

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2020
Forests both support biodiversity and provide a wide range of benefits to people at multiple scales. Global and national remote sensing analyses of drivers of forest change generally focus on broad-scale influences on area (composition), ignoring ...

A Novel Neutral and Mesophilic β-Glucosidase from Coral Microorganisms for Efficient Preparation of Gentiooligosaccharides

open access: yesFoods, 2021
β-glucosidases can produce gentiooligosaccharides that are lucrative and promising for the prebiotic and alternative food industries. However, the commercial production of gentiooligosaccharides using β-glucosidase is challenging, as this process is ...

Paleozoic coral reefs [PDF]

open access: yesGeological Society of America Bulletin, 1903
Introduction During the prosecution of field work in the Hamilton limestones of Michigan, I became aware of the existence of well marked isolated coral mounds or hillocks in the otherwise stratified and almost unfossiliferous limestones. These coral hillocks are particularly well exposed in the vicinity of Alpena, where several quarries have been ...

Efficacy of Direct Injection in Occlusive Lesion (DIOL) Fashion for Infrapopliteal and Inframalleolar Chronic Total Occlusions

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Endovascular therapy (EVT) for chronic total occlusions (CTOs) in patients with critical limb‐threatening ischemia (CLTI) remains technically challenging, particularly in infrapopliteal lesions. Direct injection in occlusive lesions (DIOL) fashion is a novel adjunctive strategy that utilizes hydraulic contrast injection through a ...

Common aquarium antiseptics do not cause long-term shifts in coral microbiota but may impact coral growth rates

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
IntroductionThough bacterial pathogens and parasites can compromise coral health, coral microbiome research increasingly suggests a beneficial role for bacterial species living in coral tissue and mucus. Recent studies suggest the application of targeted

Bahaman patch reefs: Numerous and neglected

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Phanerozoic patch reefs are extensively studied because they are abundant and are potential reservoirs for valuable fluids. In contrast, geologic studies of modern reefs have largely focused on platform margins, leaving patch reefs comparatively neglected. What conditions favour patch‐reef development?

Temporal patterns in innate immunity parameters in reef‐building corals and linkages with local climatic conditions

open access: yesEcosphere, 2016
Extremes in seasonal environmental conditions can significantly impact the health and physiological functioning of reef corals, underscoring the need for knowledge of seasonally specific baselines from which to monitor and forecast impending stress ...
