TL;DR: The cataloging of MCES indicators and the integrated classification ofMCES provided in this paper establish a background that can facilitate the planning and integration of future assessments and establish a consistent structure and populate it with information able to support the implementation of biodiversity conservation policies.

TL;DR: There is an increasing trend in new introductions via the Suez Canal and via shipping, while Lessepsian species decline westwards, while the reverse pattern is evident for ship-mediated species and for those introduced with aquaculture.

TL;DR: Ecosystem based marine spatial management (EB-MSM) is an approach that recognizes the full array of interactions within an ecosystem, including human uses, rather than considering single issues, species, or ecosystem services in isolation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply information theory in the area of modelling fish growth and to show how model selection uncertainty may be taken into account when estimating growth parameters, and apply a multi-model inference approach for making robust parameter estimations and for dealing with uncertainty in model selection.
