TL;DR: The results show that global conservation targets based on area alone will not optimize protection of marine biodiversity, and more emphasis is needed on better MPA design, durable management and compliance to ensure that MPAs achieve their desired conservation value.

TL;DR: Analysis here suggests that size-based feed- ing studies should aim to sample over 40% Lmax range of the population, as the sample size required to maintain sufficient statistical power diminishes almost exponentially with increasing body size range.

TL;DR: It is proposed that exploitation affects fish assemblages at all trophic levels, and that local ecosystem function is generally modified by fishing.

TL;DR: The reef-fish assemblages of the San Jose and Nuevo gulfs are a mix of warm-temperate fauna from the South-western Atlantic Province, and cold-temmediate species from theSouth-American Province; however, warm- temperate fishes dominated in both gulfs.

TL;DR: Using field data from omnivorous reef fishes, this study illustrates how uncertainty may be taken into account in non-Bayesian models and provides guidance on the interpretation of existing published mixing model results and in robust analysis of new resource mixing scenarios.
