Our limited intuition of the small‐scale world of the plankton has biased the way we describe
and understand ocean ecology. Classical approaches consider fluxes of energy and matter …

Blue whales Balaenoptera musculus aggregate to feed in a regional upwelling system
during November–May between the Great Australian Bight (GAB) and Bass Strait. We …

ABSTRACT A majority of the world's largest net-based fisheries target planktivorous forage
fish that serve as a critical trophic link between the plankton and upper-level consumers …

There is now a vast body of evidence supporting the conservation benefits of marine
protected areas (MPAs; see Box 1) in coastal and nearshore ecosystems (Claudet et al …

Omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (hereafter, omega-3), including
eicosapentaenoic-acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic-acid (DHA), are essential nutritional …

Abstract Knowledge about the movement ecology of endangered species is needed to
identify biologically important areas and the spatio-temporal scale of potential human …

Sustained observations of microbial dynamics are rare, especially in southern hemisphere
waters. The Australian Marine Microbial Biodiversity Initiative (AMMBI) provides …

Marine fisheries recruitment research has emphasized approaches that explore physical–
biological interactions during early life stages (ELS). Herein, we review evidence that such …

Effective conservation and fisheries management requires data to capture demographic
processes and range limits for each species to maximize population health and productivity …

Foraging theory predicts that mobile predators should target high profitability areas with
plentiful resources and minimize time spent moving between these areas. This has led to a …
