Short-term changes in the plankton of a highly homogeneous Basin of the Straits of Magellan (Paso Ancho) during spring 1994

open access: yesScientia Marina, 1999
Changes in nutrients, chlorophyll and zooplankton were followed for 11 d in a basin of the Straits of Magellan (Paso Ancho), characterized by a homogeneous water column during a spring event defined by a drastic change in wind stress and direction ...

Individual movement modeling expands the power of migratory species observations: North Atlantic right whale case study

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding a population's distribution depends on observing the presence and movement of individuals throughout their range. For highly mobile marine species, these observations typically rely on high effort monitoring programs. Tracking enough individuals to understand trends in movement behavior is not always logistically feasible, and ...

Corrosion Performance of Prepainted Galvanized Steel After 8‐Year Outdoor Exposure Upon the Distance to the Seashore in Temperate Environment

open access: yesMaterials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
The corrosion performance of line‐produced prepainted galvanized steel products was investigated upon the distance to the seashore in temperate environment over 8‐year exposure. The rate of underpaint corrosion from cut‐edge was estimated and depended on the agressiveness of the site and the angle of exposure.

Ecosystem size reverses the effect of the spatial coupling between autotrophic and heterotrophic ecosystems

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The flow of non‐living resources between autotrophic and heterotrophic ecosystems can impact their ecosystem function. However, ecosystem size is similarly known to influence ecological properties and it is uncertain how the size of coupled ecosystems mediates the effect of resource flows.

Marine trophic architecture and hidden ecological connections in the Strait of Magellan: keystone species and ecosystem resilience

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Understanding the ecological implications of species coexistence is central to biodiversity studies and to identify environmental and anthropogenic drivers of ecosystem dynamics, where ecological network analysis offers valuable insights. This study examines the complexity, structure, and potential responses to disturbances of the Strait of Magellan's ...

Temporal changes in the dietary niche of sympatric seals provides insight into the role of competition in population declines

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Competition theory suggests that interspecific prey competition can result in changes to the dietary niche, but obtaining timeseries of data from sympatric species experiencing temporal variation in competition is challenging. Scotland is an important area for two species of seals, but over the past 20 years, populations of harbour seals Phoca vitulina

Quantification of laboratory-simulated water-atmosphere CO2 fluxes in estuaries

open access: yesCiencias Marinas, 2005
 Laboratory simulation of the processes that affect chemical species as they pass through estuaries is a useful tool for the study of these littoral systems.

Global analysis of annual survival among shorebirds reveals a negative effect of migration distance and a decline in recent decades

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Annual survival is a key demographic parameter driving population trends in wildlife populations. However, despite numerous species‐specific or regional studies, global reviews of the factors affecting the survival of declining taxa remain scarce. Here, we investigated annual survival of fledged immature and adult shorebirds, a globally‐distributed and

Processes underlying tidal variability of carbon dioxide in the Tagus Estuary (Portugal)

open access: yesCiencias Marinas, 2011
Tidal variation of CO2 system parameters was evaluated in the Tagus Estuary (SW Portugal) based on field observations performed in 2007 in the lower estuary under low river discharge conditions, during spring and autumn.

Habitat‐based spatial patterns enable realistic reconstruction of plant spatial arrangements across complex landscapes

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Spatially explicit individual‐based models provide a powerful way to explore spatial dynamics when direct observation is not feasible. But for many ecological applications, these models require detailed data on the initial spatial arrangement and traits of individuals – information rarely available in large, heterogeneous or novel landscapes.
