Coral reefs provide a habitat for many marine organisms and support the safety, coastal protection, well-being, food economic security of hundreds millions people. The focus on coral species diversity cannot be overemphasized. One them, Astrogorgia, contains natural active substances, has important scientific research value application prospects. Most current substances genus Astrogorgia is bas...

Accurately identifying the rural production-living-ecological space (PLES) of different islands can help reveal their distinct natural resources and land-use situations, which is significant for sorted management, subarea utilization, protection islands. At present, studies on PLES island villages are deficient. For instance, existing classification system incomplete; poorly identified; dominan...

Bintan, the only conservation area at district level, was established through Regent's Decree No. 58/II/2009 and has an of ​​472,905 ha, with a fairly high ​​mangroves seagrass beds, especially in southern region Bintan Island. One interesting sustainable phenomenon on Island is that beach destruction often found form lumps dirty oil (sludge oil) during north wind season along northern coast Is...

The Kapiti and D’Urville Islands populations of little spotted kiwi (Apteryx owenii) are the only two long-standing populations of this species that have survived the decline of kiwi in the 20th century. The populations were compared to determine their conservation status and to provide a basis for management decisions for the two surviving birds from D’Urville Island. Measurements, voice, ecto...

This study focuses on ocean waves impacting the Moorea Island in French Polynesia, where coral reefs play an essential role biodiversity and protection of habitations. We investigate how innovative Surface Waves Investigation Monitoring (SWIM) instrument Chinese-French Oceanography SATellite satellite enables to document a multi-annual basis, spectral properties reaching coasts Island. Our anal...

One of the fundamental interests in ecology is understanding which factors drive species’ distribution. We aimed to understand drivers bat distribution and co-occurrence patterns a remote, insular system. The two species known occur Azores archipelago were used as model. Echolocation calls recorded at 414 point-locations haphazardly distributed across archipelago. Calls analysed assigned each s...
