Groupers are a valuable fishery resource of reef ecosystems and among those species most vulnerable to fishing pressure because life history characteristics including longevity, late sexual maturation aggregation spawning. Despite their economic importance, few grouper fisheries regularly monitored or managed at the level, many reported be undergoing declines. To identify major threats groupers, International Union for Conservation Nature (IUCN) Red List criteria were applied all 163...
Summary Hypolithic cyanobacterial communities occur in hot and cold hyperarid environments but the physical factors determining their diversity are not well understood. Here we report hypolithic colonization of a common quartz substrate at several locations ancient deserts north‐western China, that experience varying mean annual temperature, rainfall concomitant availability liquid water soil. Microscopy enrichment culture resulted only Chroococcidiopsis morphotypes which were ubiquitous,...
Cubera snapper Lutjanus cyanopterus aggregated to spawn at Gladden Spit, a salient sub‐surface reef promontory seaward of the emergent and near continental shelf edge Belize. Their spawning aggregations typically formed 2 days before 12 after full moon from March September 1998–2003 within 45 000 m area. Peak abundance 4000 10 individuals was observed between April July each year, while actual most frequently in May. Spawning consistently 40 min sunset confined area ≤1000 . Data suggested...
A dearth of scientific data surrounding Micronesia’s coral-reef fisheries has limited their formal assessment and continues to hinder local regional management efforts. We approach this problem by comparing catch-based datasets from market landings across Micronesia evaluate fishery status in the Commonwealth Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), Guam, Yap, Pohnpei. Initial examinations found that calm weather low lunar illumination predicted between 6% (Yap) 30% (CNMI) variances daily commercial...
Lithic photoautotrophic communities function as principal primary producers in the world's driest deserts, yet many aspects of their ecology remain unknown. This is particularly true for Asia, where some Earth's oldest and deserts occur. Using methods derived from plant landscape ecology, we measured abundance spatial distribution cyanobacterial colonization on quartz stony pavement across environmental gradients rainfall temperature isolated Taklimakan Qaidam Basin western China....
Abstract Hypolithic microbial communities are productive niches in deserts worldwide, but many facets of their basic ecology remain unknown. The Namib Desert is an important site for hypolith study because it has abundant quartz rocks suitable colonization and extends west to east across a transition from fog‐ rain‐dominated moisture sources. We show that fog sustains impacts hypolithic several ways, as follows: (1) effectively replaces rainfall the western zone central enable high (≥95%)...
Poor medication adherence is one of the major causes illness and treatment failure in United States. The objective this study was to conduct an initial evaluation a context-aware reminder system, which generated reminders at opportune time take medication. Ten participants aged 65 or older, living alone managing their own medications, participated study. Participants took low-dose vitamin C tablet twice daily times that they specified. were considered adherent if within 90 minutes (before...
Variation in life-history characteristics is evident within and across animal populations. Such variation mediated by environmental gradients reflects metabolic constraints or trade-offs that enhance reproductive outputs. While generalizations of relationships species provide a framework for predicting vulnerability to overexploitation, deciphering patterns intraspecific may also enable recognition peculiar features populations facilitate ecological resilience. This study combines age-based...
Principals are critical to school improvement efforts, yet few studies aim elicit their perspectives on what contributes teaching, learning, and broader improvement. The purpose of this mixed-methods case study was principals’ (a) teacher staff needs, (b) student in an effort uncover whether these reflective priorities emphasized current expanded models, such as mental health, family engagement, out-of-school time opportunities, other youth development learning supports. Twenty principals...
The harvesting of groupers (Serranidae) in Indonesia for the live reef food fish trade (LRFFT) has been ongoing since late 1980s. Eight sites Komodo National Park that included two spawning aggregation (FSA) were monitored and humphead wrasse, Cheilinus undulatus , from 1998 to 2003 2005 2008 examine temporal changes abundance assess effectiveness conservation management efforts. Monitoring identified FSA squaretail coralgrouper, Plectropomus areolatus brown-marbled grouper, Epinephelus...
