Biol Bull. 2021 Jun;240(3):169-190. doi: 10.1086/714047. Epub 2021 May 24.ABSTRACTAbstractAs coral reefs experience dramatic declines in coral cover throughout the tropics, there is an urgent need to understand the role that non-reef habitats, such as mangroves, play in the ecological niche of corals. Mangrove habitats present a challenge to reef-dwelling corals because they can differ dramatically from adjacent reef habitats with respect to key environmental parameters, such as light. Because variation in light within reef habitats is known to drive intraspecific differences in coral phenotype, we hypothesized that coral ...

A qualitative inquiry of food insecurity in Belize
CONCLUSION: These findings provide insight around food security and food access barriers in a middle-income country and provide avenues for further study and potential interventions. Increased and sustained investment in primary and secondary education, including programs to support enrollment, should be a priority to decreasing food insecurity. Attention to building public infrastructure may also ease burdens around accessing foods.PMID:34114538 | DOI:10.1017/S1368980021002615 (Source: Public Health Nutrition)

Marine reserves, fisheries ban, and 20 years of positive change in a coral reef ecosystem
Conserv Biol. 2021 Apr 28. doi: 10.1111/cobi.13738. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBy 2004, Belize was exhibiting classic fishing down of the food web. Groupers (Serranidae) and snappers (Lutjanidae) were scarce and fisheries turned to parrotfishes (Scarinae), leading to a 41% decline in their biomass. Several policies were enacted in 2009-2010, including a moratorium on fishing parrotfish and a new marine park with no-take areas. Using a 20-year time series on reef fish and benthos, we evaluated the impact of these policies approximately 10 years after their implementation. Establishment of the Southwater Caye Marine Reser...
