Adult and juvenile mobility has a considerable influence on the functioning of marine
protected areas. It is recognized that adult and juvenile movement reduces the core benefits …

Here we review the population, community, and evolutionary consequences of marine
reserves. Responses at each level depend on the tendency of fisheries to target larger body …

Global declines in shark populations have created uncertainty in the future status of many
species and conservation efforts are urgently needed. Marine protected areas (MPAs) are …

Background Over the past 15 years, the integration of localised passive telemetry networks
into centralised data repositories has greatly enhanced our ability to monitor the presence …

Protected areas not allowing extractive activities (here called fully protected area) are a
spatially explicit conservation management tool commonly used to ensure populations …

Effective use of spatial management in the pelagic realm presents special challenges due to
high fish and fisher mobility, limited knowledge and significant governance challenges. The …

Snapper (Chrysophrys auratus) is an important coastal fish species in New Zealand for a
variety of reasons, but the large amount of research conducted on snapper has not been …

Harvesting wild populations may contrast or reinforce natural agents of selection and
potentially cause evolutionary changes in life‐history traits such as growth and maturation …

Abstract The effectiveness of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) depends on the mobility of the
populations that are the target of protection, with sedentary species likely to spend more time …

This paper reviews the socio-economic, ecological, and conservation experiences during
the establishment of Marine Reserves (no-take Marine Protected Areas (MPA)) in New …
