Ecosystem ecology: size-based constraints on the pyramids of life
Biomass distribution and energy flow in ecosystems are traditionally described with trophic
pyramids, and increasingly with size spectra, particularly in aquatic ecosystems. Here, we …

Climate resilience in marine protected areas and the 'Protection Paradox'
Restricting human activities through Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) is assumed to create
more resilient biological communities with a greater capacity to resist and recover following …

Ecological effects of full and partial protection in the crowded Mediterranean Sea: a regional meta-analysis
Marine protected areas (MPAs) are a cornerstone of marine conservation. Globally, the

Local‐scale climatic refugia offer sanctuary for a habitat‐forming species during a marine heatwave
Gradual climate change and discrete extreme climatic events have driven shifts in the
structure of populations and the distribution of species in many marine ecosystems. The …

Tropical rabbitfish and the deforestation of a warming temperate sea
A striking example of climate‐mediated range shifts in marine systems is the intrusion of
tropical species into temperate areas world‐wide, but we know very little about the …
