Studies of no-take marine reserves: Methods for differentiating reserve and habitat effects
No-take marine reserves (NTMRs) are promoted extensively as conservation and fisheries
management tools in response to marine ecosystem degradation and fisheries decline, but …

Environmental DNA metabarcoding reveals and unpacks a biodiversity conservation paradox in Mediterranean marine reserves
Although we are currently experiencing worldwide biodiversity loss, local species richness
does not always decline under anthropogenic pressure. This conservation paradox may …

Determinants of reef fish assemblages in tropical Oceanic islands
Diversity patterns are determined by biogeographic, energetic, and anthropogenic factors,
yet few studies have combined them into a large‐scale framework in order to decouple and …

Effects of marine reserves versus nursery habitat availability on structure of reef fish communities
No-take marine fishery reserves sustain commercial stocks by acting as buffers against
overexploitation and enhancing fishery catches in adjacent areas through spillover …

Influence of coral reef rugosity on fish communities in marine reserves around Lombok Island, Indonesia
Coral reef structural form is widely considered a key factor with respect to the availability of
shelter and foraging spaces for fishes and invertebrates. However, anthropogenic stressors …

Distance from a fishing community explains fish abundance in a no-take zone with weak compliance
There are numerous examples of no-take marine reserves effectively conserving fish stocks
within their boundaries. However, no-take reserves can be rendered ineffective and turned …
