TL;DR: The second edition of Plankton is a fully updated introduction to the biology, ecology and identification of plankton and their use in monitoring water quality as mentioned in this paper, which includes expanded, illustrated descriptions of all major groups of freshwater, coastal and marine phytoplankton and zooplankston and a new chapter on teaching science using plankton.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the published evidence about how important seascape connectivity is for marine conservation outcomes and concluded that stronger linkages between landscape ecology and marine spatial planning are likely to improve conservation outcomes in the sea.

TL;DR: The sediment compartments approach was first used in the 1960s in the United States to define sections of the Australian coast, but had not been uniformly adopted around the nation in the way that has underpinned management, as in other countries.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that marine reserves enhanced the capacity of coral reefs to withstand flood impacts, and Herbivory and coral recruitment are critical ecological processes that underpin reef resilience, and were greater in reserves and further enhanced on reserve reefs near mangroves.

TL;DR: This work shows how a simple BN can reveal nonlinear dynamics in seagrass ecosystems using ecological relationships sourced from the literature, and demonstrates the capacity of simple, flexible modeling tools to facilitate collation and synthesis of disparate information.
