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

open access: yes, 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

Contextualizing Marine Heatwaves in the Southern California Bight Under Anthropogenic Climate Change

open access: yes, 2020
In early August 2018, record‐high sea surface temperatures were recorded in the 102 year old Scripps Institution of Oceanography daily temperature time series (SIOT) at La Jolla, CA, USA.

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

open access: yes, 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 ...

Diversidad funcional en el ensamblaje de la ictiofauna del Océano Pacífico Oriental Tropical: Una revisión de dos décadas en su enfoque [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Background. One of the most relevant topics in ecology and evolution is understanding the relationship between biological  and functional diversity at the ecosystem level;  both important in the evolutionary processes and the structuring of ...

Sediment resuspension in muddy sediments enhances pyrite oxidation and carbon dioxide emissions in Kiel Bight

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Sediment resuspension of blue carbon ecosystems (e.g., seagrass beds) and muddy sediments exposes buried particulate organic carbon to oxygenated waters and remineralization, potentially enhancing carbon dioxide fluxes.

The temporal and spatial variability of nursery habitats for fishes in macrotidal mangrove systems of Colombia and Brazil [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This thesis highlight (1) the stability in time and across regions of tidal- and diel-related patterns of intertidal mangrove fish distribution in neotropical macrotidal areas, (2) the major effect that specific environmental conditions (e.g.

The significance of coastal bathymetry representation for modelling the tidal response to mean sea level rise in the German Bight

open access: yesOcean Science (OS), 2019
. Due to climate change an accelerated mean sea level rise is expected. One key question for the development of adaptation measures is how mean sea level rise affects tidal dynamics in shelf seas such as the North Sea.

Testing for concordance between predicted species richness, past prioritization, and marine protected area designations in the western Indian Ocean

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 4, August 2024.
Abstract Scientific advances in environmental data coverage and machine learning algorithms have improved the ability to make large‐scale predictions where data are missing. These advances allowed us to develop a spatially resolved proxy for predicting numbers of tropical nearshore marine taxa.

Natural history and morphometry of the Cuban iguana (Cyclura nubila Gray, 1831) in Cayo Sijú, Cuba [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The report presents data about the Cuban iguana population (Cyclura nubila nubila) inhabiting Cayo Sijú, an 88 ha island off the southwest coast of Cuba. Population densities estimated using strip transects were higher in xerophytic coastal scrub (6.72 ±

Opposing genetic patterns of range shifting temperate and tropical gastropods in an area undergoing tropicalisation

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 246-262, February 2024.
Abstract Aim The poleward range expansion of tropical species, and range contraction of temperate species (known as tropicalisation) has mainly been studied from an ecological perspective, with little research on its genetic consequences. Here, we used distributional and genetic data to document the consequences of tropicalisation in rocky shore ...
