The distributions of migratory species in the ocean span local, national and international jurisdictions. Across these ecologically interconnected regions, marine interact with anthropogenic stressors throughout their lives. Migratory connectivity, geographical linking individuals populations cycles, influences how spatial temporal dynamics affect animals scale up to influence population abundance, distribution persistence. Population declines many have led calls for connectivity knowledge,...
Very high-resolution satellite imagery (≤5 m resolution) has become available on a spatial and temporal scale appropriate for dynamic wetland management conservation across large areas. Estuarine wetlands have the potential to be mapped at detailed habitat with frequency that allows immediate monitoring after storms, in response human disturbances, face of sea-level rise. Yet mapping requires significant fieldwork run modern classification algorithms estuarine environments can difficult...
Abstract Aim Understanding the spatial ecology of animal movements is a critical element in conserving long‐lived, highly mobile marine species. Analyzing networks developed from six sea turtle species reveals connectivity and can help prioritize conservation efforts. Location Global. Methods We collated telemetry data 1235 individuals reviewed literature to determine our dataset's representativeness. used develop at different scales examine areas, connections, their geographic arrangement....
Understanding the areas used by migratory marine animals and their movements is critical in supporting management decisions that target conservation. This especially important for long-lived species with large geographic extents are more vulnerable to multiple threats. We conducted a literature review on data collected 173 mammal, fish, sea turtle, seabird determined tracking animal telemetry methods was most effective tool demonstrating ecological connectivity. From references included...
Oysters support an economically important fishery in many locations the United States and provide benefits to surrounding environment by filtering water, providing habitat for fish, stabilizing shorelines. Changes oyster reef health reflect variations factors such as recreational commercial harvests, predation, disease, storms, broader anthropogenic influences, climate change. Consistent measurements of area morphology can help effectively monitor across locations. However, traditional...
<title>Abstract</title> Animal migrations are extensive, ubiquitous, and in decline. To effectively protect migratory species, it is often crucial to identify the interconnected sets of sites they rely upon. Gaps between primary ecological research synthesized information that useful policymakers has limited effective conservation long-distance migrants, particularly marine realm. By synthesizing 1304 references 1787 important develop model networks for 109 we show minimum extent megafauna...
