Evaluating Tour Boat Compliance With Dolphin‐Watching Guidelines in the Sian Ka'an Biosphere ReserveNARA Subscribed
Boat‐based dolphin‐watching tourism targeting common bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops truncatus ) in the Mexican Caribbean is an increasing activity. Yet, tour boat compliance with local dolphin‐watching guidelines has not been evaluated, and the impacts of these activities on local dolphin populations remain unknown. To address this gap, we used boat‐based observations and aerial drone video recordings to evaluate tour boat com...
Rough‐toothed dolphins ( Steno bredanensis ) typically inhabit deep oceanic waters from tropical to temperate waters worldwide. However, their ecology and behavior remain poorly understood. We investigated site fidelity and social structure of rough‐toothed dolphins using photo‐identification data collected between 2014 and 2022 in the continental shelf waters of the southwestern coast of Mexico. A total of 133 groups of rough...
Unravelling the interplay between water and food systems in arid and semi-arid environments: the case of EgyptNARA Subscribed
Food system analysis in arid and semi-arid countries inevitably meets water availability as a major constraining food system driver. Many such countries are net food importers using food subsidy systems, as water resources do not allow national food self-sufficiency. As this leaves countries in a position of dependency on international markets, prices and export bans, it is imperative that every domestic drop of water is used...
Scrutinizing the traits of octocorals that could affect their physiological performance becomes increasingly important as several of these species are observed to become dominant on reefs pressured by the Anthropocene. In the present study, we compare the organismal traits of two branching octocorals Litophyton sp. and Stereonephthya sp. commonly populating in sympatry the high-latitude coral communities of northern Taiwan. Us...
TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open accessNARA Subscribed
Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodivers...
Evaluating and implementing social–ecological systems: A comprehensive approach to sustainable fisheriesNARA Subscribed
Fisheries sustainability is recognized to have four pillars: ecological, economic, social (including cultural) and institutional (or governance). Although international agreements, and legislation in many jurisdictions, call for implementation of all four pillars of sustainability, the social, economic and institutional aspects (i.e., the “human dimensions”) have not been comprehensively and collectively addressed to date. Thi...
We highlight improvements to the International Comprehensive Ocean‐Atmosphere Data Set ( ICOADS ) in the latest Release 3.0 ( R3 .0; covering 1662–2014). ICOADS is the most widely used freely available collection of surface marine observations, providing data for the construction of gridded analyses of sea surface temperature, estimates of air–sea interaction and other meteorological variables. ICOADS observations are assimila...
AgroforestryNARA Subscribed
375Blowing and drifting snow on Minnesota's roadways is a transportation efficiency and safety concern. Living snow fence is an agroforestry system involving planting of woody/tree species such as hybrid poplars, willow, other shrubs and pine trees along drifting snow areas. Establishing living snow fences improves driver visibility and road surface conditions and has the potential to lower costs of road maintenance, reduce ac...
Sea fan corals provide a stable isotope baseline for assessing sewage pollution in the Mexican CaribbeanNARA Subscribed
We compared stable nitrogen isotope (d15N) values from the common Caribbean sea fan Gorgonia ventalina , collected from a developed and undeveloped coastline, to test the hypothesis that sewage‐derived nitrogen (N) inputs are detectable and more severe in developed areas along the Mesoamerican barrier reef of Mexico. The Akumal coast was selected as the developed site since this area is inhabited by thousands of local resident...
