DOI: 10.1007/s11852-017-0518-4
Abstract: Coastal dunes are an essential part of beach-dune systems. Dunes systems have their own intrinsic values and provide a range of goods and services, including the protection of tangible goods located on the shoreline affected… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11852-025-01107-z
Abstract: Coastal dunes are among the most imperiled ecosystems and are prime examples of ‘bio-geomorphologic’ systems wherein geomorphology impacts the vegetation and vegetation impacts geomorphology. This leads to distinct plant communities that trap sand differently which… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/botlinnean/boaa020
Abstract: Reconstructing the early history of species divergence and quantifying the level of standing genetic variation in diverging populations are central to our understanding of ecotype formation and ultimately speciation. In this study, we used single… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/app11062821
Abstract: Since ecological phenomena and patterns vary with scale, scalar analysis is a developing practice in ecology. Scalar analysis is most valuable in heterogeneous environments, since habitat heterogeneity is a key factor in determining biodiversity. One… read more here.

Coastal Dune Vegetation Dynamism and Anthropogenic-Induced Transitions in the Mexican Caribbean during the Last Decade
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Plants"
DOI: 10.3390/plants13131734
Abstract: In the Mexican Caribbean, environmental changes, hydrometeorological events, and anthropogenic activities promote dynamism in the coastal vegetation cover associated with the dune; however, their pace and magnitude remain uncertain. Using Landsat 7 imagery, spatial and… read more here.
