Prioritizing forest management actions to benefit marine habitats in data-poor regions. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2022 Abstract Land‐use change is considered one of the greatest human threats to marine ecosystems globally. Given limited resources for conservation, we adapted and scaled up a spatially explicit, linked land–sea decision support tool using open access global geospatial data sets and software to inform the prioritization of future forest management ...

Temporal patterns in coral reef, seagrass and mangrove communities from Chengue bay CARICOMP site (Colombia): 1993-2008 [PDF]
Revista de Biología Tropical, 2010 Few monitoring programs have simultaneously assessed the dynamics of linked marine ecosystems (coral reefs, seagrass beds and mangroves) to document their temporal and spatial variability.

Review of ecological valuation and equivalency analysis methods for assessing temperate nearshore submerged aquatic vegetation. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Nearshore seagrass, kelp, and other macroalgae beds (submerged aquatic vegetation [SAV]) are productive and important ecosystems. Mitigating anthropogenic impacts on these habitats requires tools to quantify their ecological value and the debits and credits of impact and mitigation.

Effects of seagrass restoration on coastal fish abundance and diversity
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Restoration is accelerating to reverse global declines of key habitats and recover lost ecosystem functions, particularly in coastal ecosystems. However, there is high uncertainty about the long‐term capacity of restored ecosystems to provide habitat and increase biodiversity and the degree to which these ecosystem services are mediated by ...

Drivers of resource allocation for breeding under variable environments in a bet hedger
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023 In this study, we analysed data on the breeding investment of Audouin's gulls over a 30‐year period to understand how these long‐lived bet‐hedging birds allocate energy for breeding. We found that food availability and age influenced clutch size and the total volume of eggs in a clutch, with gulls laying more and larger eggs in years with favourable ...

Cavity‐nesting birds are limited by nesting habitat in Neotropical agricultural landscapes
Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 1045-1057, September 2023., 2023 Although cavity‐nesting bird diversity is highest in the tropics, little is known about how tropical birds use cavities, how agriculture affects their reproductive biology, and how effective nest boxes could be as a conservation strategy in tropical agriculture.

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 9, Issue 1, January/February 2023., 2023 Abstract Caviomorph rodents have been diverse and abundant components of South American mammal communities since the late Eocene. We describe herein the octodontoids of Pampa Castillo, a Lower Miocene site in southern Chile (Aysén Region). Six genera and seven species of octodontoids are present, two of which are new: Dudumus berggreni sp. nov.
