Coral Reef Water Microbial Communities of Jardines de la Reina, Cuba [PDF]

Microorganisms
Globally, coral reef ecosystems are undergoing significant change related to climate change and anthropogenic activities. Yet, the Cuban archipelago of Jardines de la Reina (JR) has experienced fewer stressors due to its geographical remoteness and high ...

Extracellular Reef Metabolites Across the Protected Jardines de la Reina, Cuba Reef System [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Coral reef ecosystems are incredibly diverse marine biomes that rely on nutrient cycling by microorganisms to sustain high productivity in generally oligotrophic regions of the ocean.

Machine and deep learning approaches to understand and predict habitat suitability for seabird breeding. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2023
Understanding seabird breeding habitat selection and suitability is often complex due to the integration of land and sea features across multiple spatial scales. A complementarity approach between convolutional neural network (CNN) and random forest (RF) models was applied to predict and explain the selection pattern of tropical larids breeding ...

Microbial signatures of protected and impacted Northern Caribbean reefs: changes from Cuba to the Florida Keys. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol, 2020
Summary There are a few baseline reef‐systems available for understanding the microbiology of healthy coral reefs and their surrounding seawater. Here, we examined the seawater microbial ecology of 25 Northern Caribbean reefs varying in human impact and protection in Cuba and the Florida Keys, USA, by measuring nutrient concentrations, microbial ...

Distribution and status of living colonies of Acropora spp. in the reef crests of a protected marine area of the Caribbean (Jardines de la Reina National Park, Cuba) [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
The reef crests of the Jardines de la Reina National Park (JRNP) are largely formed by Acropora palmata, but colonies of A. cervicornis and the hybrid A. prolifera are also present.

Taxonomic nestedness based on guilds? Bird assemblages of the Jardines de la Reina National Park, Cuba, as study case

Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2020
Nestedness is a widely known structuring model in insular and fragmented biotas that has often been assessed, but most studies to date have used a taxonomic approach.

Effects of migrations on the nestedness structure of bird assemblages in cays of the Jardines de la Reina archipelago, Cuba

Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2014
Efecto de las migraciones sobre la estructura de anidamiento de los ensamblajes de aves en los cayos del archipiélago de los Jardines de la Reina, Cuba La hipótesis del subgrupo anidado plantea que, en biotas fragmentadas, las especies de los sitios ...

Underlying factors promoting nestedness of bird assemblages in cays of the Jardines de la Reina archipelago, Cuba [PDF]

Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2017
Assessing the factors associated with nestedness patterns is a crucial aspect in studies of community structure. Bird assemblages in the Jardines de la Reina archipelago have a stable nested structure but the underlying influences have not been evaluated.

Quantification of dissolved metabolites in environmental samples through cation‐exchange solid‐phase extraction paired with liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 20, Issue 11, Page 683-700, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Small, biologically produced, organic molecules called metabolites play key roles in microbial systems where they directly mediate exchanges of nutrients, energy, and information. However, the study of dissolved polar metabolites in seawater and other environmental matrices has been hampered by analytical challenges including high inorganic ...
