Video surveys of sea snakes in the mesophotic zone shed light on trends in populations
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Declines in abundance of sea snakes have been observed on reefs throughout the Indo-Pacific, although the reasons are unknown. To date, surveys have occurred on shallow reefs, despite sea snakes occurring over a large depth range.

Large-scale effects of turbidity on coral bleaching in the Hawaiian islands
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Turbidity from land-based runoff has been identified as a possible driver of coral bleaching refugia, as particulate matter in turbid habitats may block excessive irradiance and alter the food supply to corals during ocean heatwaves.

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Himalaya and Hengduan Mountains (HHM) is a biodiversity hotspot, and very rich in endemic species. Previous phylogeographical studies proposed different hypotheses (vicariance and climate-driven speciation) in explaining diversification and the observed ...

The ecological health of Lake Victoria (Kenya) in the face of growing cage aquaculture
Conservation Science and Practice, 2022 The rapid growth of cage aquaculture of introduced Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Lake Victoria has raised urgent environmental concerns. This study aims to compare local environmental conditions, fish species abundance and diversity between ...

On microrefugia and cryptic refugia [PDF]
Journal of Biogeography, 2010 AbstractThe existence of microrefugia and/or cryptic refugia has been proposed to explain the colonization patterns of temperate continents after the Last Glacial Maximum, as well as to gain an understanding of the present genetic structure of species and their populations.

The fate of endemic insects of the Andean region under the effect of global warming.
PLoS ONE, 2017 Three independent but complementary lines of research have provided evidence for the recognition of refugia: paleontology, phylogeography and species distributional modelling (SDM). SDM assesses the ecological requirements of a species based on its known

Fire refugia are robust across Western US forested ecoregions, 1986–2021
Environmental Research Letters, 2023 In the Western US, area burned and fire size have increased due to the influences of climate change, long-term fire suppression leading to higher fuel loads, and increased ignitions.

The Holocene, 2012 Patterns of endemism in the Neotropics have been explained by restriction of forest to ‘refugia’ in arid cold-stages of the Quaternary (Haffer J (1969) Speciation in Amazonian forest birds. Science 165: 131–137). The palaeoecological record, however, shows no such forest contraction.
