Coral reef ecosystems are the most diverse on earth, and their subsistence is being threatened by natural and adverse anthropogenic patterns and processes. In an effort to understand and protect these marine environments, several programs have outlined strategies and initiatives. For example, the United States Coral Reef Task Force’s Mapping...

Greater scientific knowledge, changing societal values, and legislative mandates have emphasized the importance
of implementing large-scale flow experiments (FEs) downstream of dams. We provide the first global assessment
of FEs to evaluate their success in advancing science and informing management decisions. Systematic
review of 113 FEs across 20 countries revealed...
A 5km swath-width SeaMARC I sidescan sonar survey, conducted over
the zone of overlap between the southern rift zone of Axial Volcano and the northern
tip of the Vance spreading segment on the Juan de Fuca Ridge (between 45°24'N
and 45°50'N latitude), was analyzed to locate the present position of...

Background: Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 has been extensively studied because of its plant growth promoting properties and potential as a biocontrol agent. The genome of SBW25 has been sequenced, and among sequenced strains of pseudomonads, SBW25 appears to be most closely related to P. fluorescens WH6. In the authors' laboratories, WH6...

Conclusions: The identification
As IAMSLIC members will recall, in 1990 Stephanie Haas questioned ASFA’s supremacy in marine science libraries and found “potential pitfalls” if relying on a single database to adequately discover the relevant literature (Haas 1990). We still question the best way to access the literature in our multidisciplinary field. Patrons and...

The Plant Ontology Consortium (POC, http://www.plantontology.org) is a collaborative effort
among model plant genome databases and plant
researchers that aims to create, maintain and
facilitate the use of a controlled vocabulary
(ontology) for plants. The ontology allows users to
ascribe attributes of plant structure (anatomy and
morphology) and developmental stages...

This study evaluates four policy options to secure the water supply needed for wetland conservation in Qixinghe—a national wetland nature reserve in China—using four criteria: cost effectiveness, probability of success in achieving the water-saving goal, political feasibility, and farmer acceptance. This multi-criteria analysis framework reveals the ecological, economic, and socio-political...
