A cost-effective method for reducing soil disturbance-induced errors in static chamber measurement of wetland methane emissions
(Wetlands Ecology and Management, 2016-08-01)© 2015, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht. Static chambers used for sampling methane (CH 4 ) in wetlands are highly sensitive to soil disturbance. Temporary compression around chambers during sampling can inflate ... -
A five year study of floristic succession in a restored urban wetland
(Ecological Engineering, 2013-12-01)The Stream and Wetland Assessment Management Park (SWAMP) project created a wetland-stream complex that encompasses a wide array of micro-environments and hydrology. These diverse habitats were designed to facilitate ecosystem ... -
A multi-scale approach to prioritize wetland restoration for watershed-level water quality improvement
(Wetlands Ecology and Management, 2010-12-01)Wetland restoration is commonly presented as an important strategy for maintaining and enhancing the water quality and ecological capital of watershed-scale ecosystems. Prioritizing restoration sites on the landscape is ... -
A novel framework for analyzing conservation impacts: evaluation, theory, and marine protected areas.
(Ann N Y Acad Sci, 2017-07)Environmental conservation initiatives, including marine protected areas (MPAs), have proliferated in recent decades. Designed to conserve marine biodiversity, many MPAs also seek to foster sustainable development. As is ... -
A systematic approach to institutional analysis: Applying Crawford and Ostrom's grammar
(Political Research Quarterly, 2010-10-07)In 1995, Crawford and Ostrom proposed a grammatical syntax for examining institutional statements (i.e., rules, norms, and strategies) as part of the institutional analysis and development framework. This article constitutes ... -
A Systematic Approach to Studying Fisheries Governance

Allylation of intraerythrocytic hemoglobin by raw garlic extracts.
(J Med Food, 2010-08)Recent studies have shown that deoxygenated human red blood cells (RBCs) converted garlic-derived polysulfides into hydrogen sulfide, which in turn produced vasorelaxation in aortic ring preparations. The vasoactivity was ... -
An ecological perspective on nanomaterial impacts in the environment.
(J Environ Qual, 2010-11)Growing concerns over the potential for unintended, adverse consequences of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) in the environment have generated new research initiatives focused on understanding the ecological effects of ENPs. ... -
An ocean sensor for measuring the seawater electrochemical response of 8 metals referenced to zinc, for determining ocean pH.
(Proceedings of the International Conference on Sensing Technology, ICST, 2016-03-21)© 2015 IEEE.We describe the use of a multi-metal electrochemical cell for measuring ocean pH. The sensor was designed to be robust, inexpensive, and capable of 0.02 sensitivity to pH in the narrow ranges required for marine ... -
Analyzing Protected Area Bureaucratic Institutions to Understand Barriers to Local Participation in Biodiversity Conservation: The Costa Rican Example
(Conservation and Society, 2011)The importance of local participation in biodiversity governance was recently recognized by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) through the incorporation of Indigenous Community Conserved Areas ... -
Are the ghosts of nature's past haunting ecology today?
(Current Biology, 2018-05-07)© 2018 Elsevier Ltd Humans have decimated populations of large-bodied consumers and their functions in most of the world's ecosystems. It is less clear how human activities have affected the diversity of habitats these consumers ... -
Are the native giant tortoises from the Seychelles really extinct? A genetic perspective based on mtDNA and microsatellite data.
(Mol Ecol, 2003-06)The extinction of the giant tortoises of the Seychelles Archipelago has long been suspected but is not beyond doubt. A recent morphological study of the giant tortoises of the western Indian Ocean concluded that specimens ... -
Are we working towards global research priorities for management and conservation of sea turtles?
(Endangered Species Research, 2016-12-30)© The authors 2016. In 2010, an international group of 35 sea turtle researchers refined an initial list of more than 200 research questions into 20 metaquestions that were considered key for management and conservation ... -

Beyond the Tragedy of the Commons.
(Economia delle fonti di energia e dell'ambiente, 2009)To move beyond Hardin’s tragedy of the commons, it is fundamental to avoid falling into either of two analytical and policy traps: (1) deriving and recommending “panaceas” or (2) asserting “my case is unique.” We can move ... -
Biological and ecological mechanisms supporting marine self-governance: The Seri Callo de Hacha Fishery in Mexico
(Ecology and Society, 2008-12-01)My goal was to describe how biological and ecological factors give shape to fishing practices that can contribute to the successful self-governance of a small-scale fishing system in the Gulf of California, Mexico. The analysis ... -
