Rebuilding Global Fisheries
Boris Worm,Ray Hilborn,Julia K. Baum,Trevor A. Branch,Jeremy S. Collie,Christopher Costello,Michael J. Fogarty,Elizabeth A. Fulton,Jeffrey A. Hutchings,Simon Jennings,Simon Jennings,Olaf P. Jensen,Heike K. Lotze,Pamela M. Mace,Tim R. McClanahan,Cóilín Minto,Stephen R. Palumbi,Ana M. Parma,Daniel Ricard,Andrew Rosenberg,Reg Watson,Dirk Zeller +21 more
TL;DR: Current trends in world fisheries are analyzed from a fisheries and conservation perspective, finding that 63% of assessed fish stocks worldwide still require rebuilding, and even lower exploitation rates are needed to reverse the collapse of vulnerable species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coral reefs: corals' adaptive response to climate change
TL;DR: Corals containing unusual algal symbionts that are thermally tolerant and commonly associated with high-temperature environments are much more abundant on reefs that have been severely affected by recent climate change, indicating that these devastated reefs could be more resistant to future thermal stress.
Book ChapterDOI
Effects of climate -induced coral bleaching on coral -reef fishes — ecological and economic consequences
Morgan S. Pratchett,Philip L. Munday,Shaun K. Wilson,Nicholas A. J. Graham,Joshua E. Cinner,David R. Bellwood,Geoffrey P. Jones,Nicholas Polunin,Tim R. McClanahan +8 more
TL;DR: Urgent action on the fundamental causes of climate change and appropriate management of critical elements of habitat structure (coral cover and topographic complexity) are key to ensuring long-term persistence of coral-reef fishes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decadal trends in marine reserves reveal differential rates of change in direct and indirect effects
Russell C. Babcock,Nick T. Shears,Angel C. Alcala,Neville S. Barrett,Graham J. Edgar,Kevin D. Lafferty,Tim R. McClanahan,Garry R. Russ +7 more
TL;DR: Populations of directly targeted species were more stable in reserves than in fished areas, suggesting increased ecologic resilience, an important benefit of marine reserves with respect to their function as a tool for conservation and restoration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating life‐history strategies of reef corals from species traits
TL;DR: This work identifies up to four life-history strategies that appear globally consistent across 143 species of reef corals: competitive, weedy, stress-tolerant and generalist taxa, which are primarily separated by colony morphology, growth rate and reproductive mode.
