State of corals and coral reefs of the Galápagos Islands (Ecuador): Past, present and future.
Coral populations and structural coral reefs have undergone severe reductions and losses respectively over large parts of the Galápagos Islands during and following the 1982-83 El Niño event. Coral tissue loss amounted to 95% across the Archipelago. Also

Abstract Introduction Giant tortoises are critical for restoring lost ecological interactions on islands. Following their extinction in Seychelles centuries ago, key ecosystem processes like seed dispersal, browsing, and nutrient cycling were disrupted.

We introduce ENHYDROSS, a new mechanistic model that uses optimal swimming speed and minimum cost of transport to estimate maximum dispersal distances and durations for vertebrates, enabling assessment of long‐distance oceanic dispersal potential. Applied to a range of extant and extinct animals, the model's estimates generally align with observed data;

Abstract The fractal dimensions of lava flow margins on Earth often correlate with their flow morphologies and have been used to tentatively identify flow morphology on other rocky planets where fine‐scale observations are limited. Previous studies of lava flow margins on Venus have reported fractal dimensions (D) mostly within the range between 1.05 ...

ABSTRACT The coevolutionary radiation of 27 species of Tetraopes longhorned beetles and their Asclepias milkweed hosts represents a classic example of adaptive evolution driven by plant chemical defences and herbivore counteradaptations. Investigations to date, however, have focused on a single species, Tetraopes tetrophthalmus, which feeds on the ...

Population genomics of the invasive blackberry (Rubus niveus) in the Galapagos Islands
Invasive species pose a major threat to biodiversity, especially in island ecosystems, and their control demands a substantial financial investment. R.
