Urban coastal ecosystems are unique intersections of human development and biodiversity, and monitoring populations in these areas is critical to understanding ecosystem health and function.
Research explores the relationship between black-footed albatross sightings in the Hawai‘i-based deep-set longline fishery and fleet dynamics and environmental variables.
Submarine lava flows on the leeward flank of the Island of Hawai‘i, USA, were examined by submersible and remotely operated vehicles to understand the structure and development of deep-water coral communities.
To expand understanding of short‐finned pilot whale ecology in the region, we conducted small‐boat surveys in 2010−2016 within the Mariana Archipelago.
A comparison of methods used to estimate demographics for 2 snapper species indicates that an age-based natural mortality estimator works for deepwater snapper stock assessments when direct measures of natural mortality are unavailable.
This study looks at a much needed spatially explicit simulation-estimation framework that simulates metapopulation dynamics.
Results demonstrated that periodic tagging may provide the best balance between tag program cost and parameter bias.
Here we provide an overview of best practices when calibrating an Atlantis marine ecosystem model to promotes greater transparency between modellers and end-users, including resource managers.
Ocean conditions dictate food availability and govern survivorship, yet little is known about the habitat preferences of larval fish during this highly vulnerable life-history stage.
