Sampling and sequencing marine environmental DNA (eDNA) provides a tool that can
increase our ability to monitor biodiversity, but movement and mixing of eDNA after release …

A possible conservation strategy to minimise the risk of groundwater biodiversity loss due to
human activities consists in designing a network of reserve areas at the continental scale …

Studying the larval dispersal of bottom-dwelling species is necessary to understand their
population dynamics and optimize their management. The black-lip pearl oyster (Pinctada …

Patterns of bivalve larvae dispersal in the deep Ahe atoll lagoon was studied by using a
numerical 3D transport model (MARS3D) coupled with a vertical swimming sub-model …

In northern NSW, Australia, coastal populations are forecast to increase dramatically over
the next 25years (the “sea change”). However, management of the effects of development …

Accurate distribution and density data of endangered marine species may be complicated
by artifacts from exploitation, survey design, and general difficulty in accessing subtidal …

Bivalve larvae and hydrographic parameters were sampled over a range of spatio-temporal
scales in a deep atoll lagoon. Bivalve larvae abundances were very high throughout the …

Spatial patterns of coral reef benthic communities vary across a range of broad-scale
biogeographical levels to fine-scale local habitat conditions. This study described spatial …

Ecological monitoring programs depend on the robust estimation of descriptive parameters.
Percent cover, gleaned from transects sampled with video imagery, is a popular benthic …

Rivers play a vital role in the maintenance of the biosphere and human society, since they
participate in the global water cycle and provide varied habitats to support biodiversity …
