Multiple scales of fear: foraging behaviour of white‐naped jays in semiarid landscapes

Oikos, EarlyView.
Animals must constantly balance the need to find resources with the risk of predation. Not only avoiding direct encounters with predators but also assessing the overall risk of their environment using cues, social information or habitat traits at multiple spatial and temporal scales.

Hollow WO3/SnO2 Hetero-Nanofibers: Controlled Synthesis and High Efficiency of Acetone Vapor Detection

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2019
Metal oxide hetero-nanostructures have widely been used as the core part of chemical gas sensors. To improve the dispersion state of each constituent and the poor stability that exists in heterogeneous gas sensing materials, a uniaxial electro-spinning ...

Corals, fishermen and tourists [PDF]

Two major anthropogenic activities that disturb coral reefs are fishing and tourism, even though coral reefs are important for both fishing and tourism. Already more than 60 per cent of all reefs worldwide are endangered. The use of explosives and poison

The Politics of Policy Robustness: A Central Paradox and Computational Review of Adaptive Policymaking

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Policy robustness, that is, the capacity of policies to sustain performance across diverse and uncertain futures, is increasingly considered a core objective of public policymaking. Although adaptive policymaking is widely promoted as an approach to achieving policy robustness, it suffers from a central paradox highlighted by theories of the ...

Habitat connectivity in reef fish communities and marine reserve design in Old Providence-Santa Catalina, Colombia [PDF]

, 2003
On the insular platform of Old Providence/Santa Catalina, Colombia, we compared nearshore lagoonal patch reefs to those on the northern bank distant from the islands to determine the importance of habitat connectivity to fish community structure ...

Breaking down seagrass fragmentation in a marine heatwave impacted World Heritage Area

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Habitat fragmentation can exacerbate the impacts of habitat loss but is rarely quantified in marine environments. Using satellite‐derived habitat maps, we identify widespread seagrass fragmentation following a marine heatwave that contributed to a dramatic shift in seascape structure in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area.

Marine Heatwaves and Cold Spells in Global Coral Reef Regions (1982–2070): Characteristics, Drivers, and Impacts

Remote Sensing
Extreme sea surface temperature (SST) events, such as marine heatwaves (MHWs) and marine cold spells (MCSs), severely affect warm water coral reefs.

Diversity of Symbiodiniaceae in 15 Coral Species From the Southern South China Sea: Potential Relationship With Coral Thermal Adaptability

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
It is well-known that the adaptability of coral-Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis to thermal stress varies among coral species, but the cause and/or mechanism behind it are not well-understood. In this study, we aimed to explore this issue based on zooxanthellae

Evaluating methods for high‐resolution, national‐scale seagrass mapping in Google Earth Engine

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Marine habitat mapping using satellite imagery can provide baseline and monitoring data across large spatial scales and in remote locations globally. This study evaluates how key methodological choices influence the accuracy of open‐source (for non‐commercial use), cloud‐based satellite mapping workflows for seagrass meadows in the Maldives.

Bacterial Diversity and Community Composition in the Pyloric Ceca of Acanthaster solaris in the Xisha Islands

Redai dili
Crown-of-Thorns Starfish (CoTS) are natural enemies of corals. Periodic outbreaks of CoTS and substantial feeding on corals lead to the degradation of coral reefs among the Indo-Pacific Ocean. Symbiotic bacteria play an important role in the development,
