Valuing Ecosystems as an Economic Part of Climate-Compatible Development Infrastructure in Coastal Zones of Kenya & Sri Lanka (2016)
Book Chapter
Emerton, L., Huxham, M., Bournazel, J., & Kumara, M. P. (2016). Valuing Ecosystems as an Economic Part of Climate-Compatible Development Infrastructure in Coastal Zones of Kenya & Sri Lanka. In Ecosystem-Based Disaster Risk Reduction and Adaptation in Practice (23-43). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-43633-3_2

Even though ‘green’ options for addressing the impacts of climate
change have gained in currency over recent years, they are yet to be fully mainstreamed into development policy and practice. One important reason is the lack of economic evidence as...

Simulating Ucides cordatus population recovery on fished grounds. (2010)
Book Chapter
Piou, C., Berger, U., & Diele, K. (2010). Simulating Ucides cordatus population recovery on fished grounds. In Mangrove Dynamics and Management in North Brazil (299-303). Springer Berlin Heidelberg. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-13457-9_20

The recovery of fishing grounds of Ucides cordatus populations in the Caeté Peninsula is a recurrent process due to individual movements. However, these movements could not be observed in the field. A pattern-oriented modeling approach was used to in... Read More about Simulating Ucides cordatus population recovery on fished grounds..

Comparative population dynamics and life histories of North Brazilian Mangrove crabs, Genera Uca and Ucides (Ocypodoidea). (2010)
Book Chapter
