Efficient Detection of Cloud Scenes by a Space-Orbiting Argus 1000 Micro-Spectrometer
… and non-cloud scenes by using a space-orbiting Argus 1000 spectrometer utilizing the GENSPECT line-by-line radiative transfer simulation tool for space data retrieval and analysis. We apply this approach within the selected wavelength band of the Argus 1000 spectrometer in the range from 1100 nm …

The Ecological Ramifications of Disease and Density in the Caribbean Spiny Lobster, <i>Panulirus argus</i>
… juvenile Caribbean spiny lobster, <em>Panulirus argus</em>, in the waters off south Florida (USA), and it alters the behavior and ecology of this species in fundamental ways. Gross signs of HLV-PA infection are lethargy, morbidity, cessation of molting, and discolored, “milky” hemolymph that does …

Is it all about the ants? What are the factors influencing the presence of Plebejus argus (the Silver-studded Blue butterfly) on Studland Peninsula?
The nationally scarce butterfly, Plebejus argus (silver-studded blue) was identified as a priority species requiring special conservation measures within the UK Biodiversity Action Plan in 1994 and this status was retained by the UK Post 2010 Diversity Framework (2012). The species has undergone a …

The Importance of Keeping the Big Ones: Harvest Slot Limits and Marine Protected Areas for the Management of the Caribbean Spiny Lobster
… for the Caribbean spiny lobster, <em>Panulirus argus</em>, an iconic and economically valued species. After decades of intense fishing, the largest lobsters have largely been wiped out. The loss of the largest lobsters is significant as large lobsters have considerably greater reproductive …

Ecology of the Early Life History of the Caribbean Spiny Lobster, <i>Panulirus argus:</i> Recruitment, Predation, and Habitat Requirements
<p>Recruitment variability of the early life history stages of marine benthic organisms can have profound consequences on population dynamics. I studied factors affecting recruitment success of postlarvae and early juveniles of the Caribbean spiny lobster. I examined patterns in postlarval supply, …
