Opportunities for the conservation of migratory birds to benefit threatened resident vertebrates in the Neotropics. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Appl Ecol, 2022
Funding and effort for migratory bird conservation also has potential to benefit threatened resident vertebrates in the Neotropics. Our study highlights how novel, high‐resolution information on species distributions and risk of forest loss can be integrated to identify priority areas for the two groups at regional and landscape scales.

Conservation priorities for functionally unique and specialized terrestrial vertebrates threatened by biological invasions. [PDF]

open access: yesConserv Biol
Abstract Invasive non‐native species (INS) continue to pose a significant threat to biodiversity, including native population declines, which can ultimately disrupt ecosystem processes. Although there is growing evidence of the impacts of INS on functional diversity, most of the existing approaches to prioritization of species for conservation still ...

Combining otolith chemistry and genetics to infer the population structure of yellow snapper Lutjanus argentiventris

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023
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.

A Low‐Order Data‐Driven Model of ENSO Diversity

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 24, 28 December 2025.
Abstract Linear Inverse Models (LIMs) are widely used data‐driven tools for studying El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO). However, standard LIMs struggle to simulate the observed asymmetry and diversity of ENSO events. Observations reveal that strong Central Pacific (CP) La Niñas and extreme Eastern Pacific (EP) El Niños occur more frequently than ...

Worldwide Soundscapes: A Synthesis of Passive Acoustic Monitoring Across Realms

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM ...

Adaptive spatiotemporal management to reduce shark bycatch in tuna fisheries

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 4, August 2024.
Abstract Purse‐seine tropical tuna fishing in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean (EPO) results in the bycatch of several sensitive species groups, including elasmobranchs. Effective ecosystem management balances conservation and resource use and requires considering trade‐offs and synergies.

Vulnerability of Eastern Tropical Pacific chondrichthyan fish to climate change

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 7, July 2024.
This assessment identifies sharks' vulnerability to climate change in a data‐poor tropical region and suggests management actions. Abstract Climate change is an environmental emergency threatening species and ecosystems globally. Oceans have absorbed about 90% of anthropogenic heat and 20%–30% of the carbon emissions, resulting in ocean warming ...

Algunos poliquetos holoplanctónicos (Annelida: Polychaeta) del Parque Nacional Isla del Coco, Costa Rica

open access: yesRevista de Biología Tropical, 2012
Los poliquetos holoplanctónicos no han sido estudiados en las aguas oceánicas adyacentes al Parque Isla del Coco. Se estudiaron estas formas pelágicas a partir del análisis de muestras de zooplancton recolectadas en esta área protegida.

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 ...

First record of the blacktip reef shark Carcharhinus melanopterus (Carcharhiniformes: Carcharhinidae) from the Tropical Eastern Pacific

open access: yesRevista de Biología Tropical, 2012
The blacktip reef shark Carcharhinus melanopterus, is one of the most common Indo-Pacific reef sharks. On April 29, 2012, a juvenile male blacktip reef shark measuring 89 cm total length (TL), was incidentally caught during a research expedition in ...
