Reefs at Risk: A Map-Based Indicator of Threats to the Worlds Coral Reefs [PDF]

, 1998
This report presents the first-ever detailed, map-based assessment of potential threats to coral reef ecosystems around the world. "Reefs at Risk" draws on 14 data sets (including maps of land cover, ports, settle-ments, and shipping lanes), information ...

The Manufacture of Rochia nilotica rings: The chaîne opératoire Identified for Lapita Sites in Vanuatu

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rings made on marine shell are a conspicuous artefact form found throughout cultural sequences for much of the Pacific over millennia. Despite their importance in both recent and ancient times, in‐depth consideration of the manufacturing processes involved in shell ring production are limited.

The State of Coral Reef Ecosystems of the United States and Pacific Freely Associated States: 2002 [PDF]

, 2003
Called for by the U.S. Coral Reef Task Force’s (USCRTF) National Action Plan to Conserve Coral Reefs, this is the first biennial report on the condition of coral reefs. It is the scientific baseline for subsequent reports on the health of U.S. coral reef

Refractory and labile organic carbon in coral reef seawater

Journal of the Japanese Coral Reef Society, 2003
Coral reef seawater samples from Bora Bay off Miyako Island in Okinawa, Japan were incubated with an initial volume of 20 liters. The degradation of organic carbon in this seawater was monitored for more than three months in dark, unstirred polycarbonate vessels by measuring the concentration of organic carbon in the seawater.

Modeling Larval Connectivity of Coral Reef Organisms in the Kenya-Tanzania Region [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017
Most coral reef organisms have a bipartite life-cycle; they are site attached to reefs as adults but have pelagic larval stages that allow them to disperse to other reefs. Connectivity among coral reef patches is critical to the survival of local populations of reef organisms, and requires movement across gaps that are not suitable habitat for ...

A Multifaceted Spatial Analysis of Tomb Distribution in Blemmyan Berenike (Eastern Desert of Egypt)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the spatial and visual organisation of tombs in the post–Roman Berenike located in Egypt's Eastern Desert. Archaeological surveys, remote sensing, geophysical methods, excavations and GIS‐based analyses are used for a comprehensive understanding of the spatial patterns and cultural significance behind the positions and ...

Predators Shape Sedimentary Organic Carbon Storage in a Coral Reef Ecosystem [PDF]

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Trophic cascade theory predicts that predator effects should extend to influence carbon cycling in ecosystems. Yet, there has been little empirical evidence in natural ecosystems to support this hypothesis. Here, we use a naturally-occurring trophic cascade to provide evidence that predators help protect sedimentary organic carbon stocks in coral reef ...

Reflexive thematic analysis and men's embodiment following injury or illness: A worked example

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Reflexive thematic analysis (reflexive TA) originated within psychology and the social sciences and has become an increasingly popular qualitative analytic method across a range of disciplines. In this article, we offer a brief methodological guide for researchers hoping to use the method, suitable for beginners through to those experienced in
