Coastal Nurseries and Their Importance for Conservation of Sea Kraits
Destruction and pollution of coral reefs threaten these marine biodiversity hot stops which shelter more than two thirds of sea snake species. Notably, in many coral reef ecosystems of the Western Pacific Ocean, large populations of sea kraits (amphibious sea snakes) have drastically declined during the past three decades. Protecting remaining healthy populations is thus essential. In New Caled...
متن کاملIntroduction: What Are Early Successional Habitats, Why Are They Important, and How Can They Be Sustained?
C.H. Greenberg et al. (eds.), Sustaining Young Forest Communities, Managing Forest Ecosystems 21, DOI 10.1007/978-94-007-1620-9_1, © US Government 2011 Abstract There is a rising concern among natural resource scientists and managers about decline of the many plant and animal species associated with early successional habitats.

متن کاملAll nurseries are not created equal: large-scale habitat use patterns in two smalltooth sawfish nurseries
Smalltooth sawfish Pristis pectinata use southwest Florida nurseries during at least their first 2 to 3 yr, and understanding region-specific habitat use patterns is important for effective management. Research occurred in 2 nurseries within the Charlotte Harbor estuarine system: the Caloosahatchee River, a highly human-altered nursery, and a more natural nursery, the Peace River. Between 2010 ...
متن کاملThe seascape nursery: a novel spatial approach to identify and manage nurseries for coastal marine fauna
Coastal marine and estuarine ecosystems are highly productive and serve a nursery function for important fisheries species. They also suffer some of the highest rates of degradation from human impacts of any ecosystems. Identifying and valuing nursery habitats is a critical part of their conservation, but current assessment practices typically take a static approach by considering habitats as i...
متن کاملMovement of Xylosandrus germanus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in Ornamental Nurseries and Surrounding Habitats.
Some exotic ambrosia beetles are damaging pests in ornamental nurseries. Xylosandrus germanus (Blandford) is the most problematic ambrosia beetle in Ohio nurseries. Movement of X. germanus in nurseries has not been characterized, and knowledge is lacking on whether infestations originate from within nurseries or surrounding habitats. Flight activity of X. germanus was monitored in nurseries and...
