Larval Dispersal and Marine Population Connectivity
Robert K. Cowen,Su Sponaugle +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence from direct and indirect approaches using geochemical and genetic techniques suggests that populations range from fully open to fully closed and a full understanding of population connectivity has important applications for management and conservation.

The performance and potential of protected areas
TL;DR: A step change involving increased recognition, funding, planning and enforcement is urgently needed if protected areas are going to fulfil their potential.

Biological Effects Within No-Take Marine Reserves: A global Synthesis
Sarah E. Lester,Benjamin S. Halpern,Kirsten Grorud-Colvert,Jane Lubchenco,Benjamin I. Ruttenberg,Steven D. Gaines,Satie Airamé,Robert R. Warner +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that reserve characteristics and context play key roles in determining the direction and magnitude of the reserve response, validating the potential for well designed and enforced reserves to serve as globally important conservation and management tools.
Journal ArticleDOI
New paradigms for supporting the resilience of marine ecosystems
TL;DR: The emergence of a complex systems approach for sustaining and repairing marine ecosystems, linking ecological resilience to governance structures, economics and society is highlighted.

Recent progress in understanding larval dispersal: new directions and digressions
TL;DR: How new findings are motivating paradigm shifts concerning life-history consequences, the openness of marine populations, self-recruitment, and population connectivity are considered are considered, as well as the role of behavior and the significance of variability in space and time are considered.

Human Domination of Earth's Ecosystems
TL;DR: Human alteration of Earth is substantial and growing as discussed by the authors, between one-third and one-half of the land surface has been transformed by human action; the carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere has increased by nearly 30 percent since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution; more atmospheric nitrogen is fixed by humanity than by all natural terrestrial sources combined; more than half of all accessible surface fresh water is put to use by humanity; and about one-quarter of the bird species on Earth have been driven to extinction.

TL;DR: Paleoecological, archaeological, and historical data show that time lags of decades to centuries occurred between the onset of overfishing and consequent changes in ecological communities, because unfished species of similar trophic level assumed the ecological roles of over-fished species until they too were overfished or died of epidemic diseases related to overcrowding as mentioned in this paper.

Systematic Conservation Planning
C. R. Margules,Robert L. Pressey +1 more
TL;DR: A more systematic approach to locating and designing reserves has been evolving and this approach will need to be implemented if a large proportion of today's biodiversity is to exist in a future of increasing numbers of people and their demands on natural resources.

TL;DR: A dramatic global increase in the severity of coral bleaching in 1997-98 is coincident with high El Niño temperatures, which climate-mediated, physiological stresses may compromise host resistance and increase frequency of opportunistic diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of marine reserves: do reserves work and does reserve size matter?
TL;DR: The empirical work and the theoretical literature are reviewed to assess the impacts of marine reserves on several biological measures (density, biomass, size of organisms, and diversity), paying particular attention to the role reserve size has in determining those impacts.
