Telemetry has major potential for application to fish habitat science and management, but to
date it is underutilized in this regard. We posit this is because (1) fish telemetry projects are …

Understanding the areas used by migratory marine animals and their movements is critical
in supporting management decisions that target their conservation. This is especially …

There are many syntheses on the role of animal behavior in understanding and mitigating
conservation threats for wildlife. That body of work has inspired the development of a new …

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are increasingly applied to regulate fishing and conserve
marine biodiversity. Yet, MPAs are often designed without sufficient ecological knowledge of …
