Climate change and the northern elephant seal (Mirounga angustirostris) population in Baja California, Mexico - Table 2

The Earth′s climate is warming, especially in the mid- and high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere. The northern elephant seal (Mirounga angustirostris) breeds and haul-outs on islands and the mainland of Baja California, Mexico, and California, U.S.A. At the beginning of the 21st century, numbers of elephant seals in California are increasing, but the status of Baja California populations is unknown, and some data suggest they may be decreasing. We hypothesize that the elephant seal population of Baja California is experiencing a decline because the animals are not migrating as far south due to warming sea and air temperatures. Here we assessed population trends of the Baja California population, and climate change in the region. The numbers of northern elephant seals in Baja California colonies have been decreasing since the 1990s, and both the surface waters off Baja California and the local air temperatures have warmed during the last three decades. We propose that declining population sizes may be attributable to decreased migration towards the southern portions of the range in response to the observed temperature increases. Further research is needed to confirm our hypothesis; however, if true, it would imply that elephant seal colonies of Baja California and California are not demographically isolated which would pose challenges to environmental and management policies between Mexico and the United States.

In the face of recent wildfires across the Western United States, it is essential that we understand both the dynamics that drive the spatial distribution of wildfire, and the major obstacles to modeling the probability of wildfire over space and time. However, it is well documented that the precise relationships of local vegetation, climate, and ignitions, and how they influence fire dynamics, may vary over space and among local climate, vegetation, and land use regimes. This raises questions not only as to the nature of the potentially nonlinear relationships between local conditions and the fire, but also the possibility that the scale at which such models are developed may be critical to their predictive power and to the apparent relationship of local conditions to wildfire. In this study we demonstrate that both local climate – through limitations posed by fuel dryness (CWD) and availability (AET) – and human activity – through housing density, roads, electrical infrastructure, ...

IntroductionThe red sea urchin fishery is one of the most important fisheries in Baja California and the only urchin fishery in México; yet little is known on understanding how local, regional, and oceanic environmental variability may affect red sea urchin populations. MethodsWe analyzed how food availability, predator abundance and environmental variability could affect red sea urchin populations developing generalized linear models under different temperature conditions: Pre-heat wave, heat wave, and post–heatwave, including sites where sea surface temperature was above, below, and on average. Models included: a) biological variables: Macrocystis pyrifera (kelp) biomass, red sea urchin (Mesocentrotus franciscanus) density, sheephead (Semicossyphus pulcher), kelp bass (Paralabrax clathratus) and spiny lobster (Panulirus interruptus) catches, and b) oceanographic variables: sea surface temperature, wave power, upwelling index, multivariate El Niño index and North Pacific Gyre Oscillation index. ResultsBetween 65 and 82% of the variability observed in red sea urchin populations was explained by different combinations of variables, depending on the thermal condition analyzed. We observed that local environmental variability, such as food availability and predator harvest are highly important factors in determining red sea urchin population changes, compared to regional and oceanic scale variables such as upwelling, El Niño, or the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation. Results show that the relative importance of these variables changed depending on the spatial and temporal scale being analyzed, meaning that under “normal or average” conditions one set of variables is important, compared to extreme environmental conditions such as El Niño or “the Blob” when a different set of variables explained the observed variability. Urchin predators’ catches were correlated with urchin density during the pre-heatwave scenario, suggesting that under “average temperature” conditions the effect of fishing on predators, and consequently on urchin density is higher than local temperature, the most important variable during warm conditions. DiscussionThis study suggests that in Baja California, red sea urchin harvest has become the most important red sea urchin population control, so efforts should be encouraged and supported by state and federal agencies to promote more resilient ecosystems in the face of environmental uncertainty. Improving management of the commercial species that inhabit kelp forest, could yield benefits for the entire ecosystem, fishers, and the red sea urchin population in Mexico.

A consistent finding from contemporary Western societies is that women outlive men. However, what is unclear is whether sex differences in survival are constant across varying socio-ecological conditions. We test the universality of the female survival advantage with mortality data from a 19th century population in the Baja California peninsula of Mexico. When examined simply, we find evidence for a male-biased survival advantage. However, results from Cox regression clearly show the importance of age intervals for variable survival patterns by sex. Our key findings are that males: 1) experience significantly lower mortality risk than females during the ages 15-30 (RR = 0.69), 2) are at a significantly increased risk of dying in the 61+ category (RR = 1.30), and 3) do not experience significantly different mortality risk at any other age interval (0-14, 31-45, 46-60). We interpret our results to stem from differing intrinsic and extrinsic risk-factors for sex-biased mortality across age...
