Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) has become a priority for many states wanting to develop national blue economy plans and meet international obligations in response the increasing cumulative impacts of human activities climate change. In areas beyond jurisdiction (ABNJ), MSP is proposed as part package solutions multi-sectoral management at ocean basin scale. To facilitate planning, maps showing spatial distribution marine biological diversity are required. lacking data, like South Atlantic,...
Ocean Census is a new Large-Scale Strategic Science Mission aimed at accelerating the discovery and description of marine species. This mission addresses knowledge gap diversity distribution life whereby an estimated 1 million to 2 species between 75% 90% remain undescribed date. Without improved biodiversity, tackling decline eventual extinction many will not be possible. The biota has evolved over 4 billion years includes branches tree that do exist on land or in freshwater. Understanding...
Abstract The European green crab Carcinus maenas has established considerable breeding populations in harbours and sheltered bays the South-Western Cape, South Africa, but appears unable to flourish on wave-exposed coastline. This study compares abilities of C. those an indigenous rocky-shore crab, Plagusia chabrus, resist hydrodynamic forces. had less than half vertical tenacity P. chabrus (371.5g 780.5g respectively) was grip against as fast a unidirectional flow (0.23m s−1 vs 0.53m s−1)...
Playground design is critical to school-based practice, insuring access and use for all children. The play behavior of children with special needs qualitatively quantitatively different than their typically developing peers. However, empirical data needed support the therapeutic value playground equipment used school-aged Thirty-two hours videotape was collected from 140 who were (male = 56%) 41 a variety developmental disabilities including autism, ADHD, sensory regulatory disorders 76%),...
Abstract It is nearly three decades since the world recognized need for a global multilateral treaty aiming to address accelerating biodiversity loss. However, continues decline at concerning rate. Drawing on lessons from implementation of current strategic plan Convention Biological Diversity and 2010 Aichi Targets, we highlight interlinked core areas, which require attention improvement in development post‐2020 Biodiversity Framework under Diversity. They are: (1) developing robust...
Abstract Concerns have been expressed over the impact of flipper banding on survival and reproductive performance penguins. This study compared breeding success banded unbanded African Penguins Spheniscus demersus at Boulders Beach, South Africa, in 2006. It was based 100 nests; 50 had least one adult no adults. Besides banding, other variables considered were extent vegetation cover, proximity to tourist path, burrow depth, either sand or clay substratum. There significant differences...
For this article, we examine gender differences in how staff members address inmate misconduct. Using in-depth interviews with forty-three correctional employees, focus on their various disciplinary styles create interpersonal conflict between members. We find that over half of interviewees are identified as “formal responders” who consistently punish misconduct formal sanctions, even if doing so creates within the organization. However, female responders also claim they work closely male...
