Marine Dinoflagellate Assemblage in the Galápagos Marine Reserve [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Es probable que las floraciones de algas nocivas hayan aumentado en frecuencia, intensidad y distribución geográfica en las últimas décadas en respuesta a las actividades antropogénicas. Las Islas Galápagos son reconocidas por su excepcional diversidad biológica; sin embargo, las comunidades de dinoflagelados marinos no han estado representadas en las ...

A safety network against regional population collapse: mature subpopulations in refuges distributed across the landscape

open access: yesEcosphere, 2013
Theory suggests that marine reserve networks can maintain wide geographical distributions of exploited fish and invertebrates. Since 2005, ten regions in southwest New Zealand have been designated no‐take marine reserves nested within eleven commercial ...
