This study investigated the diversity and structure of mangrove forest on Viti Levu to determine the most appropriate species for use in restoration projects. These species could enhance the management of mangroves in Fiji. Five sites were selected: Ellington Wharf (EW), Naboutini Village (NV), ...
Eighty species of marine gammaridean Amphipoda are currently known from Fiji. During a three month period in late 1979, 77 species were collected. and these are described and figured. Keys for the identification of all known Fijian species are included.Fiji appears to share most of its taxa ...
Incorporating the values of the services that ecosystems provide into decision making is becoming increasingly common in nature conservation and resource management policies, both locally and globally. Yet with limited funds for conservation of threatened species and ecosystems there is a desire to identif...
salt marshes and coral reefs play a vital role in the reproductive cycles of many fish and marine species. daccess-ods.un.org daccess-ods.un.org 红树林、海草草甸、盐沼和珊 瑚礁在许多鱼类和海洋物种的繁殖周期中发挥着至关重要的作用。
Seventy-five percent of commercially caught species in tropical systems spend some time in mangroves or are dependent on food chains traced to mangrove systems. unesdoc.unesco.org 特别是同化模式,能从业务角度确定可疑观测数据,并根据与相关模 式预测结果的比较,同时考察误差的统计分布,淘汰有疑问的数据。
Euthecosomatous gastropods (Mollusca: Heterobranchia) from Buton (SE Sulawesi, Indonesia), with notes on species from Viti Levu, Fiji; systematics, biostra... Pteropoda ( Mollusca , Gastropoda , Euthecosomata) described by Beets (1943, 1950, 1953) from the alleged Late Miocene/Early Pliocen...
nov. is the second species of the genus and differs from the type species P. fijiense Kito, 1989 in having short body length (1.5–3.0 mm), short cephalic setae (1.5–2.6 m), and a weakly cuticularized gubernacular apophysis in the male. Astomonematinae subfam. nov. was erected for ...
Mangroves are known for their floral and faunal wealth (e.g. Indian mangrove ecosystem alone supports a total of 4,011 species; Table2). However, there is a lack of full inventory of species found in mangroves. The highest numbers recorded from mangrove habitats of individual sites or countri...
in a range of specialized attributes, including water-buoyant propagules that in some species can survive in seawater for long periods [3,4]. Environmental factors limit mangrove distributions are known to be primarily temperature and rainfall, and thus the most prolific mangrove occurrences are ...
In the field, experimental reefs supplemented with mangrove leaves grown away from humans attracted more fish recruits from a greater diversity of species than reefs supplemented with leaves grown near humans. Together, this suggests that human use of coastal areas alters natural chemical cues, ...
