Given the recent trend towards establishing very large marine protected areas (MPAs) and
the high potential of these to contribute to global conservation targets, we review outcomes …

Intertidal habitats (ie marine habitats that are (partially) exposed during low tide) have
traditionally been studied from a shorebird‐centred perspective. We show that these habitats …

Marine ecosystems are changing rapidly due to ocean warming, overfishing and a raft of
other anthropogenic impacts. Such changes are expected to disrupt productivity dynamics …

Modern sharks have an evolutionary history of at least 250 million years and are known to
play key roles in marine systems, from controlling prey populations to connecting habitats …

Mutualistic and commensal interactions can have significant positive impacts on animal
fitness and survival. However, behavioural interactions between pelagic animals living in …

Sharks, as top order predators, provide a guidance on how contaminants such as mercury
bioaccumulate in marine environments. This study assessed the bioaccumulation of mercury …

Aim Marine vertebrates play key functional roles on reef ecosystems. Despite their
phylogenetic distance, different vertebrate lineages could play similar functions on reefs …

The idea that the presence of sharks impacts the behavior of mesopredatory reef fishes is
controversial and lacks clear evidence at reef‐wide scales. We compared the abundance …

Grazing by nominally herbivorous fishes is widely recognised as a critical ecosystem
function on coral reefs. However, several studies have suggested that herbivory is reduced …

Knowledge of the ecological roles of species within food webs and how their trophic
interactions affect food web structure is critical to model management and conservation …
