Cayman Islands // Bradt Travel Guides, 2008 // 9781841622149 // Tricia Hayne // 202 pages differentiation and low variation in vector competence for dengue and yellow fever viruses of Aedes albopictus from Brazil, the United States, and the Cayman Islands, we conducted a population genetic analysis of Aedes albopictus collected from 20 sites in Brazil, the United States (Florida, Georgia, and Illinois), and the Cayman Islands. Using isoenzyme analysis, we examined genetic diversity and patterns of gene flow. High genetic. Inhibition of reef framework by frequent disturbance: examples from the Arabian Gulf, South Africa, and the Cayman Islands, the environmental processes that prevent reef framework development in areas with a diverse and dense cover of coral were investigated in the southern Arabian Gulf (Dubai, UAE), the southwestern Indian Ocean (South Africa) and the central Caribbean (Cayman. Coastal morphology and late Quaternary history, Cayman Islands, West Indies, instrumental surveys of coastal profiles in the Cayman Islands, western Caribbean, reveal the presence of a horizontal erosional bench at+ 1.9 m on Grand Cayman and a deep horizontal notch at+ 6.4 m on Cayman Brac, but no raised erosional features on Little. Stingray City'-managing the impact of underwater tourism in the Cayman Islands, recreational diving and snorkelling are increasingly popular leisure activities, with potentially adverse consequences for coral reefs and other types of marine life. This case study presents observations of the impact and management of visitors viewing a single. Observations of a Nassau grouper, Epinephelus striatus, Spawning Aggregation Site in Little Cayman, Cayman Islands, Including Multi-Species Spawning, mass spawning aggregations of Caribbean grouper species are a conservation priority because of declines due to over-fishing. Previous studies have documented five historical aggregation sites in the Cayman Islands. Today, three of these sites are inactive. Small place, big money: The Cayman Islands and the international financial system, this paper examines the offshore financial center (OFC) of the Cayman Islands in the Caribbean as part of an attempt, on the one hand, to map emerging geographies associated with rapid and far-reaching changes in the international financial system, and, on the other. A cerebellar ataxia locus identified by DNA pooling to search for linkage disequilibrium in an isolated population from the Cayman Islands, a non-progressive recessive cerebellar ataxia was identified in a highly inbred Cayman Island population. Cayman cerebellar ataxia is characterized by marked pyschomotor retardation, and prominent cerebellar dysfunction manifested by nystagmus, intention. The Pleistocene rocks of the Cayman Islands, summary In the Cayman Islands a core of Miocene and Oligocene crystalline limestones is overlain unconformably by limestones of the Pleistocene Ironshore Formation. Within this Formation five separate depositional environments are recognized. A reef facies contains. Reproductive patterns of Cayman Islands Nassau grouper (Epinephelus striatus) populations, during five seasons (1987-1991, especially 1989), we monitored reproductive condition of Nassau groupers (Epinephelus striatus) from three major spawning sites near Grand Cayman. In January and February, groupers began aggregating between the first quarter. A study of fresh water lens configuration in the Cayman Islands using resistivity methods, the problems of identifying the base of fresh water lenses in oceanic islands are discussed. A study carried out in the Cayman Islands is described in which the lens base is defined in relation to potable water standards and mapped using surface resistivity measurements with. The Cayman Islands: natural history and biogeography, in the course of the last century a considerable amount of scientific work has been carried out in the Cayman Islands. The results of this (outlined in Chapter 1) are widely distributed in unpublished reports, university theses, various scientific publications and books, many. Black phytokarst from Hell, Cayman Islands, British West Indies, phytokarst is a distinctive landform resulting from a curious type of biologic erosion. Filamentous algae bore their way into limestone to produce black-coated, jagged pinnacles marked by delicate, lacy dissection that lacks any gravitational orientation. Ordinary rainfall.

Planning for climate change in small islands: insights from national hurricane preparedness in the Cayman Islands, this paper examines contemporary national scale responses to tropical storm risk in a small island in the Caribbean to derive lessons for adapting to climate change. There is little empirical evidence to guide national planners on how to adapt to climate change, and less. Two hundred years after a commercial marine turtle fishery: the current status of marine turtles nesting in the Cayman Islands, large populations of marine turtles breeding in the Cayman Islands were drastically reduced in the early 1800s. However, marine turtle nesting still occurs in the islands. The present-day status of this nesting population provides insight into the conservation of marine. The geology of the Cayman Islands (British West Indies), and their relation to the Bartlett Trough, the Cayman Islands, a small dependency of the British Empire, with a local government controlled by the Government of Jamaica, occupy an isolated position of exceptional interest, both geographical and geological, in the Caribbean Sea. Situated between. Geology of the Cayman Islands, abstract Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman are located on the Cayman Ridge which forms the southern margin of the North American Plate (Fig. 2.1). Their position near the Oriente Transform Fault and the Mid-Cayman Rise means that they are located. Pleistocene paleogeography and sea levels on the Cayman Islands, British West Indies, the sea level high, 120 000 to 130 000 years ago, did not lead to the complete inundation of Grand Cayman. Deposition associated with that highstand, which produced the limestones of the Ironshore Formation, occurred in small embayments on the south, east, and north. A less disastrous disaster: Managing response to climate-driven hazards in the Cayman Islands and NE Brazil, this paper explores the relationship between disaster risk reduction and long-term adaptive capacity building in two climate vulnerable areas the Cayman Islands in the Caribbean and Ceará, in NE Brazil. Drawing on past applications of the disaster risk reduction.
