Genomic patterns of native palms from the Leeward Antilles confirm single-island endemism and guide conservation prioritiesNARA Subscribed
Systematic study of the palm (Arecaceae) flora from the Leeward Antilles marked both Sabal antillensis and Sabal lougheediana as endemic to Curaçao and Bonaire respectively. Although both species are emergent, obvious and charismatic elements of the Antillean flora, they were only described within the last decade. Sabal lougheediana is in demographic crisis as a result of constant ungulate pressure prohibiting seedling establi...
Morphological similarities between skates of the genus Dipturus in the north‐eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean have resulted in longstanding confusion, misidentification and misreporting. Current evidence indicates that the common skate is best explained as two species, the flapper skate ( Dipturus intermedius ) and the common blue skate ( D. batis ). However, some management and conservation initiatives developed prior to th...
Maintaining a living plant collection is the most common method of ex situ conservation for plant species that cannot be seed banked (i.e., exceptional species). Viability of living collections, and their value for future conservation efforts, can be limited without coordinated efforts to track and manage individuals across institutions. Using a pedigree‐focused approach, the zoological community has established an inter‐insti...
Population‐level consequences for wild fish exposed to sublethal concentrations of chemicals – a critical reviewNARA Subscribed
Concentrated chemical spills have been shown to impact adversely on fish populations and even cause localized population extinctions. Evaluating population‐level impacts of sublethal exposure concentrations is, however, complex and confounded by other environmental pressures. Applying effect measures derived from laboratory‐based chemical exposures to impacts in wild fish populations is constrained by uncertainty on how bioche...
