The disconnect between knowledge and perceptions : a study of fishermen’s local ecological knowledge and their perception of the state of fisheries and how these are managed in the Dominican Republic
(2022)
Understanding what fishers know about the ecology of the fish they catch, and how they perceive the state and management of their fisheries can guide efforts towards more sustainable fishing practices. We tested relationships ...

Small-scale disturbance and regeneration dynamics in a neotropical mangrove forest
(2000)
Mangrove forests are affected by a variety of natural disturbances that differ in scale, intensity and frequency. Small canopy gaps, although common, have not been well studied. We examined the role of lightning-created ...
Mangroves enhance reef fish abundance at the Caribbean regional scale
(2015)
Several studies conducted at the scale of islands, or small sections of continental coastlines, have suggested that mangrove habitats serve to enhance fish abundances on coral reefs, mainly by providing nursery grounds for ...
