Automatic annotation of coral reefs using deep learning [PDF]
OCEANS 2016 MTS/IEEE Monterey, 2016 Healthy coral reefs play a vital role in maintaining biodiversity in tropical marine ecosystems. Deep sea exploration and imaging have provided us with a great opportunity to look into the vast and complex marine ecosystems. Data acquisition from the coral reefs has facilitated the scientific investigation of these intricate ecosystems.

Classifying avian drinking behaviour: ecological insights and implications in a changing world
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Water is a fundamental currency of life, and its availability significantly influences animal behaviour, physiology and distributions. However, our knowledge around the dependence on water for drinking and the direct and indirect mechanisms driving related behaviours remains partial in the context of changing climates. Here, we review patterns

Validating the deep reef refugia hypothesis
, 2015 In 1996 Peter Glynn first suggested corals maybe protected from impacts when found at depth. When this is the case deeper reefs maybe able to seed recovery in the shallows by providing a source of recruits. This is known as the deep reef refugia hypothesis while the deeper portions of coral reefs (30-100m deep) are now termed Mesophotic Coral ...

Review of the fauna associated with wild and farmed mussels and oysters in the Mediterranean
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Mussels and oysters are important ecosystem engineers which modify the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment and create habitats that support highly diverse associated communities. In the Mediterranean Sea, the native Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, together the ...

Symbolic or Substantive Action: Intent, Effort, and Results
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Many firms have made ambitious climate pledges since the Paris Agreement of 2015. These pledges may be symbolic or substantive, but the literature is fragmented in defining these two terms. We propose a conceptual framework with three frames to delineate symbolic from substantive action: Intent—underlying motivations for engaging in climate ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Amid increasing environmental and economic pressures, Africa's transition to a circular economy (CE) presents a vital pathway to inclusive, low‐carbon development. Yet, how digital transformation, informal innovation, and science, technology, and innovation (STI) policy readiness shape CE outcomes remains underexplored.

When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...

Laboratory and non-hydrostatic modelling of focused wave group evolution over fringing reef
HeliyonThis paper presents physical experiments and numerical simulations to study the propagation of focused waves group across hypothetical fringing reef profiles. A wave flume is 69 m long and 1.0 m deep, and the reef cross section is made up of a reef face,
