DOI: 10.1002/aqc.3374
Abstract: 1.Marine protected areas (MPAs) are today's cornerstone of many marine conservation strategies. Our 2015 study (Devillers et al., 2015) and others have shown, however, that the placement of MPAs is ‘residual’ to commercial uses and… read more here.

Detecting benefits of protection level on diversity facets in a sea of temporal scarcity
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems"
DOI: 10.1002/aqc.4062
Abstract: The establishment of protected areas to face global diversity declines has mainly prioritized taxonomic diversity, leaving aside phylogenetic and functional diversities, which determine ecosystem functioning and resilience. Furthermore, the assessment of protected areas' effectiveness is… read more here.
