A Global Map of Human Impact on Marine Ecosystems
Benjamin S. Halpern,Shaun Walbridge,Kimberly A. Selkoe,Kimberly A. Selkoe,Carrie V. Kappel,Fiorenza Micheli,Caterina D'Agrosa,Caterina D'Agrosa,John F. Bruno,Kenneth S. Casey,Colin M. Ebert,Helen E.

TL;DR: This article developed an ecosystem-specific, multiscale spatial model to synthesize 17 global data sets of anthropogenic drivers of ecological change for 20 marine ecosystems and found that no area is unaffected by human influence and that a large fraction (41%) is strongly affected by multiple drivers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marine Ecoregions of the World: A Bioregionalization of Coastal and Shelf Areas
Mark Spalding,Helen E. Fox,Gerald R. Allen,Nick C. Davidson,Zach A. Ferdaña,Max Finlayson,Benjamin S. Halpern,Miguel A. Jorge,Al Lombana,Sara A. Lourie,Kirsten D. Martin,Edmund McManus,Jennifer L. Molnar,Cheri A. Recchia,James C. Robertson +14 more
TL;DR: The Marine Ecoregions of the World (MEOW) as discussed by the authors is a global system for coastal and shelf areas, which is a nested system of 12 realms, 62 provinces, and 232 ecoregs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Capacity shortfalls hinder the performance of marine protected areas globally
David Gill,Michael B. Mascia,Gabby N. Ahmadia,Louise Glew,Sarah E. Lester,Megan Barnes,Ian D. Craigie,Emily S. Darling,Christopher M. Free,Jonas Geldmann,Susie Holst,Olaf P. Jensen,Alan T. White,Xavier Basurto,Lauren Coad,Ruth D. Gates,Greg Guannel,Peter J. Mumby,Hannah Thomas,Sarah Whitmee,Stephen Woodley,Helen E. Fox +21 more
TL;DR: It is reported that many MPAs failed to meet thresholds for effective and equitable management processes, with widespread shortfalls in staff and financial resources; continued global expansion of MPAs without adequate investment in human and financial capacity is likely to lead to sub-optimal conservation outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stress and Dominance in a Social Fish
TL;DR: The results reveal that the level of the stress hormone cortisol depends critically on both the social and reproductive status of an individual fish and on the stability of its social situation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reexamining the science of marine protected areas: linking knowledge to action
Helen E. Fox,Michael B. Mascia,Xavier Basurto,Alice Costa,Louise Glew,Dennis Heinemann,Leah Bunce Karrer,Sarah E. Lester,Alfonso V. Lombana,Robert S. Pomeroy,Cheri A. Recchia,Callum M. Roberts,James N. Sanchirico,Lida Pet-Soede,Alan T. White +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors treat MPAs as "policy experiments" and employ the tools of impact evaluation as a way for policy-relevant science to inform and advance science-based MPAs policy.
