TL;DR: Comparison of satellite data against field surveys demonstrated a significant predictive relationship between accumulated heat stress (measured using NOAA Coral Reef Watch's Degree Heating Weeks) and bleaching intensity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecology of juvenile hawksbills ( Eretmochelys imbricata ) at Buck Island Reef National Monument, US Virgin Islands
Kristen M. Hart,Autumn R. Sartain,Zandy-Marie Hillis-Starr,Brendalee Phillips,Philippe A. Mayor,Kimberly Roberson,Roy A. Pemberton,Jason B. Allen,Ian Lundgren,Susanna Musick +9 more
TL;DR: Gastric lavages indicated that Zoanthids were the primary food source for hawksbills, and these results contribute to the understanding of juvenile hawksbill ecology and serve as a baseline for future studies or inventories of hawkbills in the Caribbean.
Journal ArticleDOI
Winds, waves, warm waters, weekdays, and which ways boats are counted influence predicted visitor use at an offshore fishing destination
Matthew S. Kendall,Bethany L. Williams,Arliss J. Winship,Mark Carson,Karen Grissom,Timothy J. Rowell,Jenni A. Stanley,Kimberly Roberson +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the number of recreational fishers in offshore settings has been quantified due to their distance from shore and a lack of cost-effective methods to monitor small boats.
Fish movement patterns in Virgin Islands National Park, Virgin Islands Coral Reef National Monument and adjacent waters
Alan M. Friedlander,Mark E. Monaco,Randy Clark,Simon J. Pittman,Jim Beets,Rafe Boulon,Russell Callender,John D. Christensen,Sarah D. Hile,Matt S. Kendall,Jeff Miller,Caroline S. Rogers,Kosta Starnoulis,Lisa M. Wedding,Kimberly Roberson +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used acoustic telemetry to quantify spatial patterns and habitat affinities of reef fishes around the island of St. John, US Virgin Islands, in order to better understand species' habitat utilization patterns among management regimes.
Shallow-water benthic habitats of southwest Puerto Rico
Laurie J. Bauer,Kimberly Edwards,Matthew S. Kendall,Kimberly Roberson,Sam Tormey,Timothy Adams Battista +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the creation and assessment of benthic habitat maps for shallow-water (<30m) marine environments of the Guanica/Parguera and Finca Belvedere Natural Reserve in southwest Puerto Rico.
