Challenges to climate change adaptation in coastal small towns: examples from Ghana, Uruguay, Finland, Denmark, and Alaska
(Elsevier, 2021)
The ability of a coastal settlement to adapt to climate change is largely dependent upon access to a range of resources, which many coastal towns and small cities lack. Coastal small towns of less than 10,000 are therefore ...
Geographical and environmental contributions to genomic divergence in mangrove forests
(2021-03-01)
Assessing the relative importance of geographical and environmental factors to the spatial distribution of genetic variation can provide information about the processes that maintain genetic variation in natural populations. ...
Bone tools of Late Holocene hunter-gatherer-fishers of North-Central Chile: Case study of the Punta Teatinos assemblage
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2019)
During the Late Holocene, important changes can be identified in the social dynamics of hunter-gatherer populations in different regions of the Southern Andes. These transformations are associated with processes of demographic ...
Adaptation to climate change impacts on the coastal wetlands in the Gulf of Mexico Project
(IMTA. Coordinación de Hidrología. Subcoordinación de Planeación Hídrica, 2017)
Considering local knowledge in adaptive capacity of local communities at the land-sea interface
(2023)
Globally, coastal communities are facing changes and threats to biodiversity and food security. A major driver of change relates to declining productivity of fisheries and agriculture in coastal areas that depend on land ...
Briefing: Collaborative management for sustainable beaches
(Thomas Telford Publishing, 2011-09)
This briefing describes examples of integrated coastal zone management systems carried out along the Atlantic coastal strip in Argentina. The programmes helped to limit negative impacts and to regulate uses, applying ...
Coping with salt without salt glands: Osmoregulatory plasticity in three species of coastal songbirds (ovenbirds) of the genus Cinclodes (Passeriformes: Furnariidae)
(Springer Verlag, 2004)
We investigated the phenotypic plasticity of renal function in three South American coastal passerine Cinclodes (ovenbirds) differing in the proportion of marine prey they consume. Individuals were acclimated to two regimes ...
An assessment of the economic impact of climate change on the coastal and marine sector in the British Virgin Islands
(ECLAC, Subregional Headquarters for the Caribbean, 2011-10-22)
Owing to their high vulnerability and low adaptive capacity, Caribbean islands have legitimate concerns about their future, based on observational records, experience with current patterns and consequences of climate ...
