Biodiversity Credits: An Overview of the Current State, Future Opportunities, and Potential Pitfalls

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity credits are an emerging vehicle for pro‐environmental financing, yet much uncertainty remains around how and when they could boost biodiversity conservation. Here we define what biodiversity credits are and explore impact pathways through a proposed theory of change. Based on evidence from 34 pilot projects and a review of lessons

Chemical versus structural defense against fish predation in two dominant soft coral species (Xeniidae) in the Red Sea

Aquatic Biology, 2015
Soft corals of the family Xeniidae are particularly abundant in Red Sea coral reefs. Their success may be partly due to a strong defense mechanism against fish predation.

Biogeographic analysis of the Tortugas Ecological Reserve: Examining the refuge effect following reserve establishment [PDF]

, 2004
Almost 120 days at sea aboard three NOAA research vessels and one fishing vessel over the past three years have supported biogeographic characterization of Tortugas Ecological Reserve (TER).

Genome Mining Reveals a Novel Nephthenol‐Producing Diterpene Synthase from the Sandfly Lutzomyia Longipalpis

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.
The discovery of a terpene synthase of insect origin that makes the apparently cryptic product nephthenol from geranylgeranyl diphosphate sheds light on hidden biosynthetic potential. Populations of the sandfly, Lutzomyia longipalpis, use the diterpene sobralene as a sex/aggregation pheromone, which is likely produced in the insect through the activity

Connectivity between coastal habitats of two oceanic Caribbean islands as inferred from ontogenetic shifts by coral reef fishes [PDF]

, 2003
Mangroves and seagrass beds are considered important nursery habitats for juveniles of coral reef fishes. Studies have mostly focused on the fish community of just one habitat, so the connectivity between different coastal habitats is often unclear.

Cathode Materials for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells: From Metal and Metal Composite Catalysts to Carbon‐Supported Hybrids in Oxygen Reduction Reaction

ChemElectroChem, EarlyView.
This review highlights recent progress in the development of electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Particular focus is given to structure–activity relationships, active site identification, and the role of noble and non‐noble metals, with insights into synthetic strategies and performance in

Influence of sipunculan (peanut worm) activity on orifice formation in scleractinian Heterocyathus for adaptation to soft substrates

Scientific Reports
Mutualism profoundly affects the morphology and ecological evolution of both hosts and symbionts involved. Heterocyathus is a solitary scleractinian coral that lives on soft substrata, and sipunculan worms live symbiotically in the tube-like cavities ...

AI‐Enhanced High‐Resolution Functional Imaging Reveals Trap States and Charge Carrier Recombination Pathways in Perovskite

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
We use AI‐enhanced intensity modulation two‐photon excited fluorescence microscopy (ml‐IM2PM) to investigate defect properties and charge carrier recombination in MAPbBr3 films. Mapping exciton generation rate, trap concentration, and trap energy barriers and correlating spatially resolved charge carrier recombination pathways, we identify the ...
