An Assessment of Artificial Floating Islands as a Method of Habitat Creation in Marine Environments [PDF]

, 2020
Most megacities are located adjacent to the coast due to the continuous seaward migration of human populations; a process referred to as marine urban sprawl. The subsequent hardening of the natural coastline has caused the loss and degradation of coastal

Spatial and Temporal Variability in Marine Invasion and Trophic Dynamics [PDF]

, 2014
Species interactions are central to the study of community ecology, but these interactions can change with context. For instance, predator-prey interactions can vary with species introductions, spatial scale and temporal scale, and we are still learning ...
