Evaluación de Chlorophytas como indicadoras de contaminación por metales pesados en el litoral sur de Santo Domingo
(2022)
[Español] Las Chlorophytas han sido utilizadas en estudios de contaminación en metales pesados anteriormente. Estas algas tienen la capacidad de acumularse en grandes alfombras de talos que flotan y se adhieren en las rocas ...
Benefits of biodiverse marine resources to child nutrition in differing developmental contexts in Hispaniola
(2018)
There is an urgent need for an improved empirical understanding of the relationship among biodiverse marine resources, human health and development outcomes. Coral reefs are often at this intersection for developing nations ...
Tropical fish diversity enhances coral reef functioning across multiple scales
(2019)
There is now a general consensus that biodiversity positively affects ecosystem functioning. This consensus, however, stems largely from small-scale experiments, raising the question of whether diversity effects operate ...
Condición y manejo de los arrecifes de coral en las áreas marinas protegidas del sureste de la República Dominicana
(2019)
Los cambios en la estructura y función de los arrecifes de coral son cada vez más significativos y pocos sitios en el Caribe pueden soportar los factores de estrés locales y el cambio climático global. En este trabajo se ...
Trends in Dominican Republic coral reef biodiversity 2015–2022
(2023)
In 2015, we initiated a country-wide coral reef ecosystem-monitoring program in the Dominican Republic (DR) to establish biodiversity baselines against which trends in the most important components of coral reef ecosystem’s ...
Comunidades y actores sociales en áreas marinas protegidas del Caribe (México, Cuba y República Dominicana)
(2006)
Este capítulo sobre comunidades y actores sociales en Áreas Marinas Protegidas (AMP) presenta los resultados de una investigación realizada sobre el manejo de recursos costeros en el Caribe desde una perspectiva etnográfica ...
Reef condition and protection of coral diversity and evolutionary history in the marine protected areas of Southeastern Dominican Republic
(2019)
Changes in structure and function of coral reefs are increasingly significant and few sites in the Caribbean can tolerate local and global stress factors. Therefore, we assessed coral reef condition indicators in reefs ...
Widespread loss of Caribbean acroporid corals was underway before coral bleaching and disease outbreaks
(2020)
The mass mortality of acroporid corals has transformed Caribbean reefs from coral- to macroalgal-dominated habitats since systematic monitoring began in the 1970s. Declines have been attributed to overfishing, pollution, ...
Effects of elevated temperatures and health status of the crustose coralline algae Hydrolithon boergesenii (Corallinales: Mastophoroideae) on the larval settlement of Diploria labyrinthiformis (Scleractinia: Faviinae)
(2022)
Crustose Coralline Algae (CCA) is a well-known settlement inducer for stony corals and, ultimately, recruitment, a vital component for reef growth and resilience. However, potential impacts of diseased CCA on larval ...
Assessing population structure of Diadema antillarum in a shallow reef of the southeastern coast of the Dominican Republic
(2021)
[English] The sea urchin Diadema antillarum is an herbivore that plays an important ecological role in controlling benthic community structure in Caribbean reefs. After the mass mortality documented between 1982-1983, their ...
