Two of the major limitations to effective management of coral reef ecosystems are a lack of
information on the spatial distribution of marine species and a paucity of data on the …

Species distribution models (SDMs) were applied to predict the distribution of benthic
species in the North Sea. An understanding of species distribution patterns is essential to …

The marine ecosystem is known to be influenced by a combination of physical, chemical,
and biological components, which has a direct influence on the integrity of species and …

Spatial prioritization in conservation is required to direct limited resources to where actions
are most urgently needed and most likely to produce effective conservation outcomes. In an …

Defining the oceanic habitats of migratory marine species is important for both single
