Los arrecifes coralinos constituyen uno de los ecosistemas más amenazados por efectos la actividad antrópica y el cambio climático, impactos a cuales no escapan del Mar Caribe. El objetivo investigación fue evaluación calidad agua aledaña golfo Cazones, S Cuba, partir algunos indicadores microbiológicos químicos. Se realizaron dos muestreos en épocas contrastantes, noviembre 2015 (invierno) abril 2017 (verano), donde se tomaron 13 muestras (cinco las crestas ocho frontales). vulnerables, tomando consideración seleccionados químicos aguas, fueron Sureste cayo Diego Pérez 2 (SE-Cy.DP2), 1 (SE-Cy.DP1) Sur ensenada Cazones (S-EC) (Nirvana), al presentar elevadas concentraciones bacterias heterótrofas, sulfato-reductoras, vibrios materia orgánica (DQO). De acuerdo con concentración estado trófico aguas varió entre mesotróficas meso-eutróficas oeste (O-EC), seguido este (E-EC) sur lo que indica aledañas esos mantienen enriquecidas orgánica, tanto como frontales. resultados obtenidos deben servir alerta, ya existen condiciones para deterioro paulatino arrecifes.

Conservation of natural habitats in human-dominated landscapes is critical for halting biodiversity loss. Maintaining habitat quantity and connectivity requires landscape-level collective action, which results from environmental decisions made by individual land owners. We investigate how decision making a rural translates into quantitative differences outcomes. Behavioral science has become domain knowledge conservation, but little attention been paid to multiple behavioral drivers determine the success action. developed social-ecological model conservation using detailed data set 600 owners New Zealand. With model, we tested whether effect social influence networks on action was altered their interplay with owners’ personal characteristics, connections cross-scale actors local contexts. Interactions between determined outcomes unexpected ways modifying, muting or amplifying effects single drivers. Importantly, detected mechanism rapid change extent protected habitats, can explain highly successful failed conservation. Further, when environmentally desirable undesirable behaviors spread simultaneously through network, homophily network cohesion hinder This be modified other such as responses change. Thus, understanding antagonistic synergistic best utilized will benefit ensure benefits that humans obtain biodiversity.

Abstract Coral reefs are facing a constant barrage of human impacts, including eutrophication, overharvesting and climate change. While the local effects have been well-studied, regional nutrient loading from anthropogenic activities on land global change-induced disturbances increasing in magnitude necessitating cross-scale multi-stressor approaches for coral reef ecology. Here, we expand longstanding theory to develop an integrated framework reefs. We show that: i) geometry simple, empirically-motivated model suggests nutrients harvesting can operate similarly, synergistically, driving shifts coral- algae-dominated reefs, resulting clear context-dependent management implications; ii) this same climate-driven mortality drive presence long transients alternate states, even moderately-impacted ecosystems. Reefs seemingly “safe space” based individual stressors may fact be much more susceptible increasingly frequent storms bleaching events conditions. By integrating these findings with general ecological theoretical concepts, suggest that responses benthic composition act as “signatures change” multi-stressors, allowing us predictive generalizable under In line theory, detail empirical evidence Barbados historical changes impacts within our framework. bridging ecology better understand ecosystem functioning resilience important yet highly threatened systems.
