Distribution of roving herbivorous fishes on coral reefs at multiple spatial scales
(2013)
Roving herbivorous fishes are an integral part of the biodiversity of coral reefs
due to their high abundance and ecological role as grazers of benthic algae. The
present study examined the ecology of surgeounfish ...
Effectiveness of management regulations and updated analysis of population health and trends of Queen Conch, Strombus gigas, in Puerto Rico
(2014)
The queen conch resource continues to support a commercial fishery in Puerto Rico, despite a
history of overfishing and low conch densities. The primary goal of this study was to generate density
estimates for queen conch ...
Development and testing of a spatial tool for the assessment anthropogenic threats in coastal and marine habitats in Puerto Rico
(2013)
Marine and coastal ecosystems are subject to a wide variety of stressors derived
from anthropogenic activities. Because of the complexity of these threats and the
difficulty in monitoring them in a synoptic manner, ...
Using landscape ecology to describe habitat connectivity for coral reef fishes
(2009)
Some coral reef fishes depend on specific habitats to complete ontogenetic
migrations. The distribution of these nursery species may be influenced by the
connectivity between nursery habitats, used during early life ...
