Akumal ’s reefs: Stony coral communities along the developing Mexican Caribbean coastline by Roshan E Roy

“…Fringing coral reefs along coastlines experiencing rapid development and human population growth have declined worldwide because of human activity and of natural causes.The "Mayan Riviera "in Quintana Roo,México,attracts large numbers of tourists in part because it still retains some of the natural diversity and it is important to obtain baseline information to monitor changes over time in the area.In this paper,the condition of the stony corals in the developing coastline of the Akumal-area fore reefs is characterized at the start of the new millennium at two depths,and along an inferred sedimentation gradient.Transect surveys were conducted in five fringing reefs starting at haphazardly chosen points.with respect to species composition,live cover,colony density,relative exposure to TAS mats and,for one species (Diploria strigosa ,Dana,1848),tissue regression rates in the presence of TAS mats.Fish population density and herbivory rates are also assessed.Data from line intercept transects (n=74)show that live stony coral cover,density and relative peripheral exposure of colonies to turf algal/sediment (TAS)mats were inversely related to an inferred sediment stress gradient at 13m.In 2000, live stony coral cover had decreased by 40-50%at two sites studied in 1990 by Muñoz-Chagín and de la Cruz- Agüero (1993).About half of this loss apparently occurred between 1998 and 2000 during an outbreak of white plague disease that mostly affected Montastraea faveolata ,and M.annularis .At a 13 m site,where inferred sedimentation rates are relatively high,time series photography of tagged Diploria strigosa ,(n=38)showed an average loss of 70 cm 2 of live tissue/coral/year to encroachment by TAS mats during the same period.Whereas densities of carnivorous fishes and herbivores (echinoids,scarids,acanthurids and Microspathodon chrysurus )in 2000 were low in belt transects at 10-19 m (n=106),turf-algal gardening pomacentrids were relatively common on these reefs.Rev.Biol.Trop.52(4):869-881.Epub 2005 Jun 24.…”

Light at night and the risk of breast cancer: Findings from the Sister study by Marina R. Sweeney, Hazel B. Nichols, Rena R. Jones, Andrew F. Olshan, Alexander P. Keil, Lawrence S. Engel, Peter James, Chandra L. Jackson, Dale P. Sandler, Alexandra J. White

“…Models were adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, educational attainment, annual household income, neighborhood disadvantage, latitude, and population density as a proxy for urbanicity. To evaluate the potential for residual confounding of the outdoor LAN and breast cancer relationship by factors associated with urbanicity, we considered further adjustment for exposures correlated with outdoor LAN including NO2 [Spearman correlation coefficient, rho (ρ) = 0.78], PM2.5 (ρ = 0.36), green space (ρ =  − 0.41), and noise (ρ = 0.81). …”

Reconstruction of Diadema mexicanum bioerosion impact on three Costa Rican Pacific coral reefs by Juan José Alvarado, Jorge Cortés, Héctor Reyes-Bonilla

“…To understand the historic role of this sea urchin on the balance between bioerosion and bioacretion, we made a reconstruction of bioerosion impact based on current patterns of carbonate ingestion by the sea urchins, growth rates and skeletal density of the main coral builders, and historical information of sea urchin population density and coral cover. The reconstruction model varied depending on locality. …”

Decadal Lake Volume Changes (2003–2020) and Driving Forces at a Global Scale by Yuhao Feng, Heng Zhang, Shengli Tao, Zurui Ao, Chunqiao Song, Jérôme Chave, Thuy Le Toan, Baolin Xue, Jiangling Zhu, Jiamin Pan, Shaopeng Wang, Zhiyao Tang, Jingyun Fang

“…In addition, 6753 (74.5%) of the lakes showed an increasing trend in lake volume and were spatially clustered into nine hot spots, most of which are located in sparsely populated high latitudes and the Tibetan Plateau; 2323 (25.5%) of the lakes showed a decreasing trend in lake volume and were clustered into six hot spots—most located in the world’s arid/semi-arid regions where lakes are scarce, but population density is high. Our results uncovered, from a three-dimensional volumetric perspective, spatially uneven lake changes that aggravate the conflict between human demands and lake resources. …”
