An emerging coastal wetland management dilemma between mangrove expansion and shorebird conservation. [PDF]
Abstract Coastal wetlands around the world have been degraded by human activities. Global declines in the extent of important coastal wetlands, including mangroves, salt marshes, and tidal flats, necessitate mitigation and restoration efforts. However, some well‐meaning management actions, particularly mangrove afforestation, can inadvertently cause ...

Manglares Ciliados (Alveolata: Ciliophora) en los ecosistemas de manglar de México
Los manglares son ecosistemas en los que se han documentado comunidades de protistas heterótrofos en el medio acuático, así como sim-biontes de algunas especies de flora y fauna. Dentro de estos protistas se encuentran los ciliados (phylum Ciliophora, en el clado Alveolata). El conocimiento de la biodiversidad de ciliados que habitan en los sedimentos,

Global drivers of mangrove loss in protected areas. [PDF]
Abstract Despite increasing efforts and investment in mangrove conservation, mangrove cover continues to decline globally. The extent to which protected area (PA) management effectively prevents mangrove loss globally across differing management objectives and governance types is not well understood.

Estas historias de la LIBRETA DE VIAJE DEL MÉDICO DE FAMILIA, que forman una biblioteca del médico caminante o viajero emocional, son hojas sueltas en las que se escribe sobre paisajes y emociones; son un atlas de geografía emocional. La evocación de un paisaje ante la asistencia a un paciente —montañas, ríos, valles, playas, mares, desiertos, mesetas,

Abstract Developing a metapopulation framework contributes to the understanding of spatial processes and structures in populations, providing basic information for conservation biology. However, the extent to which the metapopulation structure differs geographically and across life history stages is unexplored for most fishes.

Litter‐trapping tank bromeliads in five different forests: Carbon and nutrient pools and fluxes
Bromeliads are the most abundant litter‐trapping plants in Neotropical forest canopies. We analyzed the carbon and nutrient pools and fluxes in tank bromeliads in different forests along an elevation gradient. Only a small percentage of the annual litterfall (<3%) is trapped by tank bromeliads.

Spatial cost–benefit analysis of blue restoration and factors driving net benefits globally
Abstract Marine coastal ecosystems, commonly referred to as blue ecosystems, provide valuable services to society but are under increasing threat worldwide due to a variety of drivers, including eutrophication, development, land‐use change, land reclamation, and climate change.

Abstract The International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List of Threatened Species (RLS) is the key global tool for objective, repeatable assessment of species’ extinction risk status, and plays an essential role in tracking biodiversity loss and guiding conservation action.

Using metapopulation theory for practical conservation of mangrove endemic birds
Abstract As a landscape becomes increasingly fragmented through habitat loss, the individual patches become smaller and more isolated and thus less likely to sustain a local population. Metapopulation theory is appropriate for analyzing fragmented landscapes because it combines empirical landscape features with species‐specific information to produce ...

La descomposición de la materia foliar transfiere carbono a los sedimentos de los manglares. El “método de las bolsas de té”, que propone estudiar la descomposición utilizando un substrato estandarizado, aun no se ha implementado en Colombia.
