Gardening Pocillopora spp. fragments and their potential for rebuilding reef systems in the southern Mexican Pacific

Restoration Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 8, November 2023., 2023
The degradation of coral reefs during the last decades has turned attention toward management and restoration interventions. This study seeks to operationalize coral gardening of Pocillopora spp. fragments in low profile bottom‐anchored nurseries and to compare survival and growth patterns between sites, time, and fragment size in the southern Mexican ...

Kinematics and Convergent Tectonics of the Northwestern South American Plate During the Cenozoic

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023
Abstract The interaction of the northern Nazca and southwestern Caribbean oceanic plates with northwestern South America (NWSA) and the collision of the Panama‐Choco arc (PCA) have significant implications on the evolution of the northern Andes. Based on a quantitative kinematic reconstruction of the Caribbean and Farallon/Farallon‐derived plates, we ...

The green side of social innovation: Using sustainable development goals to classify environmental impacts of rural grassroots initiatives

Environmental Policy and Governance, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 459-477, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Social innovations are grassroots processes aiming to achieve impacts beyond an individual level and towards a broader societal good. The environmental dimension of impacts refers to any direct change to the environment resulting from social innovation activities, products, or services, which are not addressed by pre‐existing systems.

A Novel, Laser‐Based Microsampling Technique for Texturally Controlled, Combined and Complementary Sr and Nd Isotope Measurements in Silicate Minerals

Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research, Volume 46, Issue 4, Page 789-809, December 2022., 2022
Key Points LA instruments could offer a non-mechanical alternative for delineating and liberating mineral targets. RM glass proxies demonstrated no significant deviation in parent/daughter analyte mass fractions or 87Sr/86Sr and 143Nd/144Nd ratios after ablation, extraction and chromatography.

Biogeography, Systematics, and Ecomorphology of Pacific Island Anoles

Diversity, 2019
Anoles are regarded as important models for understanding dynamic processes in ecology and evolution. Most work on this group has focused on species in the Caribbean Sea, and recently in mainland South and Central America.

Scientific note: varroa mite eradication, the strange case of Gorgona Island [PDF]

Apidologie, 2015
Varroa mites are vectors for several bee viruses contributing also to their diffusion worldwide (Martin 2001; Di Prisco et al. 2011; Cersini et al. 2013). The tripartite relationship among bees, mites, and viruses is thought to be responsible for the loss of a large amount of colonies (Highfield et al. 2009; Berthoud et al. 2010; Francis et al.

Assessing the context‐dependence of invasiveness in the Italian wall lizard (Podarcis siculus)

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.
Although the Italian wall lizard (Podarcis siculus) is widely considered fully invasive, our study on Gorgona Island shows its spread is largely confined to human‐altered habitats. Native common wall lizards (P. muralis) persist in natural areas, indicating that Italian wall lizard invasiveness is context‐dependent and mediated by human‐altered ...
