Two years after Super Typhoon Haiyan, six species of tree-climbing sesarmid crabs were identified in Anibong Bay. In the three-week surveillance from April to June 2015, crabs were observed climbing the upper premises of the mangrove trees during high tide and moving down to mangal floors (mud) during low tide. Foraging on senescent and decayed leaves occurred both daytime and nighttime. Some crabs were observed bringing food to their mud mounds and burrows. This paper depicts the behavioral ...
After Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan), the people of Tacloban City, Philippines, must survive and sustain human existence. In an ecosystem devastated from its original state, Taclobanons had to subsidize the resources that were left. Wetlands as being the source of food yet could be a source of threat as the alteration of the quality of the waters due to the accumulation of sediments after the deadly storm surge. Moreso, food preparation methods could also be a pressing avenue for health hazar...
Seagrasses have high ecological services as a promoter of biological productivity and biodiversity. When Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) devastated Tacloban City in 2013, two years after, seagrass beds started to emerge in the shallow waters of Cancabato Bay, Anibong Bay, and San Juanico Straight. Five species of seagrass were identified: Cymodocea rotundata, Cymodocea serrulata, Enhalus acoroides, Halodule uninervis and Thalassia hemprichii. Pooled resiliency attributes from literatur...
Though seagrasses had been confronted with adverse conditions brought on by climate change and resulting in their drastic decline all over the world, some of their attributes showed resiliency. When Tacloban City, Philippines, was devastated by Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) a year after, seagrass emerged even without restoration. Various literature also observed this resiliency when sea-level rises, even as carbon dioxide and temperature increase. Though confronted with challenges, both natu...
In an ecosystem that had experienced large-scale disturbance such as the Supertyphoon Haiyan in 2013, four years after, gastropods and bivalves were started to be amassed by local gleaners in seagrass and bare patches in shallow waters of Tacloban City. In order to compare which among the two microcosms would have a higher abundance, four stations were established along the coastlines of Burayan, San Jose, Magsaysay Boulevard, Anibong and Caliro, Diit; laying two 50- meters transect lines in ...
