Coral reefs are in decline worldwide and monitoring activities are important for assessing
the impact of disturbance on reefs and tracking subsequent recovery or decline. Monitoring …

Incorporating connectivity into the design of marine protected areas (MPAs) has met with
conceptual, theoretical, and practical challenges, which include: 1) the need to consider …

While there are persistent calls for developing more marine protected areas (MPAs) for
Asian horseshoe crab conservation in response to population declines in Asia–Pacific …

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are a commonly applied solution to coral reef degradation,
yet coral reefs continue to decline worldwide. We argue that expanding the range of MPAs to …

The problem of ecosystem overfishing has mostly focused on the function of forage fish as
prey for apex predators. Here, I consider another ecosystem function, herbivory, that affects …
