Overall, the 14 UK Overseas Territories are subject to all of the drivers of change discussed above, in varying degrees depending on their location. Key issues in the context of this review include climate change, biodiversity loss, and alien/invasive species. The coastal and maritime areas of ...
Cambridge, UK) in 2013 (Sklinna only) and 5–11 g®PathTrack nanofix GPS loggers (Pathtrack Ltd, Otley, UK) in 2018, 2019 and 2021 (see Table1). Both types of loggers remotely downloaded the recorded GPS data (at 5-min intervals for Mataki loggers, and either 30-min or 60-m...
When the Hardy Weinberg ratios of m isoalleles are tested using the χ2 distribution, the correct number of degrees of freedom is 1/2 (m 2-m). The derivation from two definitions of degrees of freedom is given. This is a preview of subscription content, log in via an institution to ch...

We then assigned each MPA to its nearest 2° degree grid cell centroid (the distance cut point used was < 0.75 decimal degrees (the distance from a given MPA to a grid cell centroid)). We plotted these global spatial patterns from the 2° grid cells indicating either congruence or ...
Octavio Aburto-Oropeza, in Advances in Marine Biology, 2022 1 Marine biodiversity: What is known? 1.1 Introduction: The challenge The ocean is by far the largest living space on Earth. It comprises 1.3 billion km3 of seawater and 361 million km2 of seafloor covering 71% of the Earth's ...
However, decisions on diversification strategies and species selection must consider the biology of the new species alongside possible impacts from climate change at farm sites. Climate model projections give an insight into potential climate conditions in the future under different scenarios. Climate ...
Further studies to elucidate the casual interactions between habitat microbiome, gut microbiota, and host biology will provide novel insights into the conservation and management of ecosystems. Of note, the development of nematodes fed different bacteria mixtures were largely positively correlated, i.e.,...
