Efficient reuse of Sargassum spp. biomass and organic fraction of municipal solid waste by anaerobic co-digestion in the Dominican Republic: evaluation of biochemical methanogenic potential and reaction rates
(2024)
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a potential solution to valorize invasive pelagic Sargassum spp. Sargassum spp. (SP) biomass is characterized by a low carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio, which, in addition to the presence of indigestible ...
Foraging shifts and visual preadaptation in ecologically diverse bats
(2020)
Changes in behaviour may initiate shifts to new adaptive zones, with physical adaptations for novel environments evolving later. While new mutations are commonly considered engines of adaptive change, sensory evolution ...
Nature and distribution of beach ridges on the islands of the Greater Caribbean
(2024)
Beach ridges originate from various depositional processes and occur in a variety of settings. This paper assesses their nature and distribution on the islands of the Greater Caribbean based on a literature review and the ...
Past disturbances and local conditions influence the recovery rates of coral reefs
(2024)
Corals are being increasingly subjected to marine heatwaves. Theory suggests that increasing the intensity of disturbances reduces recovery rates, which inspired us to examine the recovery rates of coral cover following ...

(2014)
A workshop was held at the University of the West Indies, Jamaica, in May 2012 to build capacity in climate data rescue and to enhance knowledge about climate change in the Caribbean region. Scientists brought their daily ...
The oldest Holocene Caribbean mangroves and the postglacial sea level rise : biogeographical implications
(2024)
The Neotropical mangroves originated in the southern Caribbean region during the Eocene (50-40 Ma), underwent a major evolutionary turnover in the Eocene/Oligocene transition (~34 Ma), and diversified during the Neogene ...
