Vulnerability of tropical fish communities across depth in the central Indian Ocean

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Coral reefs and their fish communities below scuba diving depth (>30 m), in mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) (∼30–150 m), in rariphotic (150–300 m), and in upper bathyal waters (300–500 m) are often underexplored, especially in the Indian Ocean.

Research Advances of the Autophagy‐Regulated Radiosensitivity

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Autophagy plays a dual role in regulating cellular radiosensitivity in radiotherapy (RT). We discuss the mechanisms by which autophagy promotes survival and growthsuppression by modulating radiosensitivity. It also outlines some frontier autophagy‐targeted radiotherapies. ABSTRACT Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process of cell self‐catabolism

No escape from microplastics: Contamination of reef manta ray feeding areas in a remote, protected archipelago

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We found microplastic contamination of the upper water column around the Chagos Archipelago, a remote, protected archipelago in the central Indian Ocean. Key aggregation areas for reef manta rays (Mobula alfredi) were contaminated, putting them at risk of microplastic ingestion.

Participatory approaches to improving recreational fisheries management in a remote island system

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Marine recreational fisheries management is often impacted by data deficiencies and conflicting stakeholder views. Using participatory approaches can help to increase fisher engagement and identify trade‐offs to boost future management. Social science tools, including scenario‐based approaches, were used to explore recreational fisheries on a remote ...

Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways of indirect effects: feedback loops.

Territory Size but Not Territorial Defence Varies With Habitat Quality and Competitor Density in a Farming Species

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
Algal‐farming damselfish in high‐quality habitats with more neighbours and smaller territories did not differ in their defence costs to those in poorer habitats with larger territories and fewer neighbours. While overall intrusion and attack frequencies were similar between these two habitat areas, territory holders interacted differently with ...

A Review of the Ecology and Economics of Montserrat's Marine Resources [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Montserrat is a small, volcanic island in the Caribbean Sea that has undergone significant economic and ecological change over the past three decades due to disruption caused by a hurricane and prolonged volcanic activity.

Long‐Term Mobility of a Harvested, Rocky‐Reef Gastropod

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stocks of Turbo militaris (Turbinidae) are under increasing harvesting pressure, but management is currently hampered by data deficiency. Management decisions for rocky‐reef gastropod fisheries should consider long‐term species mobility, yet this is often poorly understood. Therefore, mark‐recapture was used to evaluate annual displacement and

Biogeographic analysis of the Tortugas Ecological Reserve: Examining the refuge effect following reserve establishment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Almost 120 days at sea aboard three NOAA research vessels and one fishing vessel over the past three years have supported biogeographic characterization of Tortugas Ecological Reserve (TER).
