Prioritizing reducing impacts on species to minimize residual reserves
Reference #1 Abstract INTRODUCTION RESULTS DISCUSSION MATERIALS AND METHODS Acknowledgments REFERENCES eLetters (0) Information & Authors Metrics & Citations View Options References Figures Tables Media Share This article has 0 eLetter . Abstract International conservation goals have driven rapid expansion of protected areas. This growth has favored quantity over quality, and often results in residual reserves (i.e., areas where species already experience minimal anthropogenic impact).
The policy relevance of climate-change scenarios for biodiversity research
Abstract Biodiversity researchers usually use projections from climate models to assess future risks associated with changes in the distribution of species and the composition of ecological communities. However, selecting the scenarios underlying these projections without a detailed understanding of their inherent assumptions carries risks.
Safeguarding climate-resilient mangroves requires only a moderate increase in the global protected area - Nature Communications
Abstract Climate change and anthropogenic activities threaten biodiversity and ecosystem services. Climate-smart conservation plans address these challenges by ensuring protection of some climate-resilient areas. However, integrating climate change in the design of conservation plans is often deemed too expensive, as it may require larger networks or protecting more costly sites from a conservation perspective.
Multiple-use spatial planning for sustainable development and conservation
Keywords integrated spatial planning systematic conservation planning spatial optimization sustainable development goals global biodiversity framework The growing need for multiple-use spatial planning Global demands for food, energy, minerals, infrastructure and water are increasing [1,2], intensifying pressure on ecosystems [2,3], and competition for space [4,5].
Near-global spawning strategies of large pelagic fish - Nature Communications
Abstract Understanding the spawning strategies of large pelagic fish could provide insights into their underlying evolutionary drivers, but large-scale information on spawning remains limited. Here we leverage a near-global larval dataset of 15 large pelagic fish taxa to develop habitat suitability models and use these as a proxy for spawning grounds.
Can police humor survive body cameras?
By Jason J. Everett, Ph.D. Where do birds stay when they travel? Someplace cheep. When in-car cameras were about to be introduced in my department around 2006, we were apprehensive about how they would change how we conducted business. Frankly, we did not want them, and if it had been up to us, the department would never have purchased them. However, we quickly learned what an essential tool they were.
Author Correction: A global, historical database of tuna, billfish, and saury larval distributions - Scientific Data
Correction to: Scientific Data https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-022-01528-7, published online 19 July 2022 The original version of this work reported that the Catch per unit effort (CPUE) categories had the same CPUE range for each species.
Habitat traits and predation interact to drive abundance and body size patterns in associated fauna
1 INTRODUCTION Interactions amongst organisms are one of the most important drivers of the distribution and abundances of species around the world (Jones et al., 1994). Habitat-forming organisms (hereafter habitat formers) are of particular importance for such interactions as they can regulate the availability of resources to other organisms (Teagle et al., 2017).
If we protect mangroves, we protect our fisheries, our towns and ourselves - The Australia Today
By Alvise Dabalà, Anthony Richardson, Daniel Dunn, and Jason Everett Mangroves might not look like much. Yes, they can have strange aerial roots. Yes, they’re surrounded by oozing mud. But looks can be deceiving. These remarkable shrubs and trees are nurseries for many species of fish, shellfish and crabs. They protect our coastlines from erosion, storm surges, wind and floods. And that mud? It’s one of the best biological ways we know of to store carbon.

Priority areas to protect mangroves and maximise ecosystem services - Nature Communications
Abstract Anthropogenic activities threaten global biodiversity and ecosystem services. Yet, area-based conservation efforts typically target biodiversity protection whilst minimising conflict with economic activities, failing to consider ecosystem services. Here we identify priority areas that maximise both the protection of mangrove biodiversity and their ecosystem services.

Climate-driven zooplankton shifts cause large-scale declines in food quality for fish - Nature Climate Change
Abstract Zooplankton are the primary energy pathway from phytoplankton to fish. Yet, there is limited understanding about how climate change will modify zooplankton communities and the implications for marine food webs globally.
Potential impacts of climate change on agriculture and fisheries production in 72 tropical coastal communities - Nature Communications
|
Abstract Climate change is expected to profoundly affect key food production sectors, including fisheries and agriculture. However, the potential impacts of climate change on these sectors are rarely considered jointly, especially below national scales, which can mask substantial variability in how communities will be affected.

Towards climate-smart, three-dimensional protected areas for biodiversity conservation in the high seas - Nature Climate Change
Abstract Marine species are moving rapidly in response to warming, often in different directions and with variations dependent on location and depth. Given the current impetus to increase the area of protected ocean to 30%, conservation planning must include the 64% of the ocean beyond national jurisdictions, which in turn requires associated design challenges for conventional conservation to be addressed.
Size-selective predation by three estuarine zooplanktivorous fish species
Abstract Context: Zooplanktivorous fish are a key link between abundant zooplankton and higher trophic levels but the foraging behaviour of zooplanktivorous fish is not fully understood. Selective feeding behaviours have been observed, with many species of planktivorous fish targeting certain species and sizes of zooplankton for prey. However, why certain size classes of zooplankton are preferred remains unclear.

A database of marine larval fish assemblages in Australian temperate and subtropical waters
The early life history of most marine fishes occurs in the upper water column, with eggs and larvae developing as part of the plankton, before leaving the plankton for settlement as post-larvae. Surveys of larval fishes (which, together with fish eggs, are termed ichthyoplankton) are one tool for monitoring marine ecosystems and fish communities1.
The Voyage Report
Civic Travel Adventure My adventure in civic travel began in 2008 at a security checkpoint in Israel. I was surrounded by heavy, listless faces resigned to the discomfort of the moment—scores of Palestinians making the daily trek to Jerusalem through a gate, a luggage x-ray, and armed Israeli soldiers. But on this day, a small gesture of kindness made an indelible impression, forever changing the way I travel.
