Enhancing coral restoration in the Philippines through governance and policy integration

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Coral restoration is an increasingly used tool to support marine conservation and management, yet its effectiveness is influenced by its integration with coastal policy and governance landscapes. In the Philippines, the rapid expansion of coral restoration projects in recent decades highlighted significant governance challenges, from

Enhancing post‐fire decision‐making: a framework for rapid wildfire impact assessment and evidence‐based management planning

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Altered wildfire regimes, exacerbated by unsustainable management, threaten natural ecosystem recovery post‐fire. Effective restoration requires timely fire impact assessments and tailored, evidence‐based management. While fire databases and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) frameworks partially support decision‐making, a ...

Evaluating the possible role of bottom currents and internal waves in shaping seafloor morphology in a mesophotic reef

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mesophotic reefs are located in low light conditions which, depending on the region, are usually found in water depths greater than ~30 m. They are less affected by ocean warming than reefs found in shallower water depths and thus might become increasingly important for the sustainability of marine biodiversity.

The Role of Gene Flow in the Diversification of the Monkey Treefrog Complex Across the South American Dry Diagonal

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding Neotropical megadiversity remains challenging due to fundamental taxonomic issues, including identifying and describing cryptic species and their distribution, and the limited knowledge of key factors driving biological diversification. Such challenges are especially prominent in diverse clades with high levels of cryptic species,
