TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate that PAs currently cover 14.6% of terrestrial and 2.8% of marine extent, but 59-68% of ecoregions, 77-78% of important sites for biodiversity, and 57% of 25,380 species have inadequate coverage.

TL;DR: The first standardized, global assessment of these fishes, using Red List criteria, reveals threatened species needing protection and prompts a need for alternative means of assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global conservation status and research needs for tarpons (Megalopidae), ladyfishes (Elopidae) and bonefishes (Albulidae)

TL;DR: The taxonomic diversity, geographic distributions, life history, ecology and fisheries of tarpons, ladyfishes and bonefishes (members of the subdivision Elopomorpha), which share many life history and habitat use characteristics that make them vulnerable to environmental and anthropogenic stresses in coastal environments, were assessed in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
The likelihood of extinction of iconic and dominant herbivores and detritivores of coral reefs: the parrotfishes and surgeonfishes

TL;DR: With the growing realization of man's profound impact on the planet, conservation actions such as improved marine reserve networks, more stringent fishing regulations, and continued monitoring of the population status at the species and community levels are imperative for the prevention of species loss in these groups of important and iconic coral reef fishes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Importance of low salinity areas for juvenile blue crabs, Callinectes sapidus Rathbun, in river-dominated estuaries of southeastern United States
TL;DR: Lower salinity regions of the small, river-dominated estuaries of southeastern United States may be utilized as important nursery areas, may be associated with increased growth and reduced predation, and may represent a vital habitat for maintenance of local blue crab populations.
