Habitat connectivity in coastal environments: patterns and movements of Caribbean coral reef fishes with emphasis on Bluestriped Grunt, Haemulon sciurus [PDF]
, 2003 Habitat connectivity within tropical marine seascapes may be greatly dependent on the movement of large organisms, particularly fishes. Using visual and trap sampling within two small bays in Virgin Islands National Park/Biosphere Reserve, St. John, U.S.

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract Tree bark remains an underexploited source of high‐value‐added phenolic compounds with potential circular bioeconomy applications. This work characterized bark extracts from two species of distinct Brazilian biomes, Stryphnodendron adstringens (Cerrado) and Myrcia eximia (Amazon), obtained with three solvents (ethanol, methanol and acetone ...

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.The first inventory of ants from the Xisha Islands of the South China Sea was compiled, revealing 21 species: 70% native and 30% exotic. Anthropogenic disturbance primarily drove exotic colonization, whereas island area showed weak positive effects on species richness. Most ants were omnivorous, with key mutualistic and seed‐dispersal roles.

Land birds on atolls: diversity, origin, and function
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Oceanic islands are global hotspots of avian biodiversity and endemism. Their isolation and distinct environmental conditions have uniquely shaped the evolutionary trajectories of island birds, while, in turn, land bird communities have become critical providers of ecological functions to island ecosystems.

Coral bleaching responses in Sodwana Bay, South Africa [PDF]
, 2013 This study assessed the bleaching response (BR) of coral colonies within the central reef complex in Sodwana Bay, South Africa. Bleach surveys were conducted at 16 sites on 8 reefs over the period of 2007 to 2013. A total of 12 858 coral colonies from 30
