  • Review on Hard Coral Recruitment (Cnidaria: Scleractinia) in Colombia
    Universitas Scientiarum, 2011, Vol. 16 N° 3: 200-218 Disponible en línea en: www.javeriana.edu.co/universitas_scientiarum 2011, Vol. 16 N° 3: 200-218 SICI: 2027-1352(201109/12)16:3<200:RHCRCSIC>2.0.TS;2-W Invited review Review on hard coral recruitment (Cnidaria: Scleractinia) in Colombia Alberto Acosta1, Luisa F. Dueñas2, Valeria Pizarro3 1 Unidad de Ecología y Sistemática, Departamento de Biología, Facultad de Ciencias, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Bogotá, D.C., Colombia. 2 Laboratorio de Biología Molecular Marina - BIOMMAR, Departamento de Ciencias Biológicas, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá, D.C., Colombia. 3 Programa de Biología Marina, Facultad de Ciencias Naturales, Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano. Santa Marta. Colombia. * [email protected] Recibido: 28-02-2011; Aceptado: 11-05-2011 Abstract Recruitment, defined and measured as the incorporation of new individuals (i.e. coral juveniles) into a population, is a fundamental process for ecologists, evolutionists and conservationists due to its direct effect on population structure and function. Because most coral populations are self-feeding, a breakdown in recruitment would lead to local extinction. Recruitment indirectly affects both renewal and maintenance of existing and future coral communities, coral reef biodiversity (bottom-up effect) and therefore coral reef resilience. This process has been used as an indirect measure of individual reproductive success (fitness) and is the final stage of larval dispersal leading to population connectivity. As a result, recruitment has been proposed as an indicator of coral-reef health in marine protected areas, as well as a central aspect of the decision-making process concerning management and conservation.

  • Colombia LIVING LATIN LA VIDA What They Say…
    Colombia LIVING LATIN LA VIDA What they say… Stanley Stewart, FT How to Spend It - March 2017: “Casa Galavanta is not a five-star architect-designed villa. Guests will need to make do without a sauna, an aromatherapy shower, a 30m infinity pool! Luxury here is about location and privacy. On the front deck in the mornings, the only sounds are birdsong and the murmur of a stream in the forests below. But it is the situation that stuns. An eyrie high on the shoulders of the Sierra Nevada, Casa Galavanta enjoys views down to Santa Marta and the Caribbean far below. In the afternoon, clouds roll in until the house seems to be unconnected to the world, afloat in a misty heaven. By the evening the clouds have vanished again, and from the terrace the distant lights of Santa Marta twinkle like a fallen constellation.” HIGHLIGHTS To name just a few… A kaleidoscope of colour & senses, Colombia houses some of the worlds most vibrant street art scenes. Unlock these behind the scenes gems with a private guide including an exclusive visit to an art collector’s penthouse in Colombia Capital, Bogota, where he hosts one of Colombia’s largest and most impressive private art collections. Exclusive invitation to a “clandestine dinner” with influential Colombians, to learn about life, food and culture in Bogota and Colombia. Live like the locals - an experience that will leave you in awe of this fascinating country. As well as experiencing the life of llaneros, Colombian cowboys, learning how to lasso, barefoot riding, corralling cattle & using melody to call and ease cattle Endless activities for everyone, all ages.

The maximum displacement was 2.5 m with a maximum vertical motion about 60 cm at Playa Sa Juanillo (OVSICORI Report on September 11 th , 2012). The fault displacement continued until the end of September through postseismic motions, slow earthquakes, viscoelastic response and aftershocks (> 2500 during the first 10 days following the Nicoya earthquake). The seismicity spread to most of the country (Fig.1) Figure 1: Seismicity in September 2012 and location of the main volcanoes.

Instituto para el Estudio de las Ciencias del Mar (Cecimar), Universidad Nacional de Colombia sede Caribe, Playa Salguero, Santa Marta, Colombia. [email protected] * Autor de correspondencia. RESUMEN n el Caribe sur se presentan dos áreas principales de surgencia, la Guajira colombiana y el oriente de Venezuela; sin embargo, la producción pesquera es muy desigual, a pesar de que en la Guajira la intensidad del viento es mayor y teóricamente la surgencia es Emás intensa. Por esta razón, debería tener una producción pesquera mayor que la venezolana, lo que no ocurre. Se plantean las posibles causas de esta notable diferencia y se comentan aspectos relacionados con el viento, la hidrografía, la concentración de nutrientes, la biomasa del fitoplancton, la plataforma continental, el aporte de ríos, la presencia de islas y otros factores. El oriente de Venezuela tiene mayor fertilidad y producción pesquera porque la masa de Agua Subsuperficial Subtropical es la que abastece la surgencia durante los primeros meses del año (sequía). En el segundo semestre, cuando la surgencia se relaja, el área se enriquece con materia orgánica del río Orinoco y el aporte de biomasa fitoplanctónica proveniente de lagunas costeras, golfos y bahías semicerradas.
