The characterization, mapping, and monitoring of mangroves based on remote sensing data has proved challenging as the prevalence of cloud cover in many areas they inhabit limits observations by optical sensors, diurnal changes in tidal inundation lead to variability in their appearance, and similarities...
It’s the largest living member of the hutia species and is recognizable by its tubby form and coarse brown or reddish fur and short slender tail. Although it prefers to live in areas where mangroves are plentiful, it is capable of living in a wide range of habitats, which allows it to...
Southern Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean are home to the long-lived, evergreen Manilkarazapota, also known as sapodilla, sapota, chikoo, naseberry, or nisper. The Petenes mangroves eco-region in coastal Yucatán is home to a subdominant plant species. Most leaf biosorbents ...
The rusty wings of the red-shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus) give way to bold brown and white wing stripes, while the breast displays fine bars of lighter brown and white. It might be difficult to spot in its woodland home, but the red-shouldered hawk’s loud whistle is easy to pick out...
The Sundarbans (21º30′–22º30′ N and 89º00′–89º55′ E) is the largest mangrove forest in the world. Forests are very important for sequestering atmospheric carbon and mangroves are amongst the most efficient in carbon sequestration. This study presents the estimation of ...

and mangroves (Naveda et al.2008; Wallace et al.2012; Medici et al.2022). Habitats suitable for the lowland tapir in Colombia have considerably diminished in extent due to accelerated anthropic activities, such as deforestation, transformations of natural forest cover for the establishment of livest...
