Key questions in marine megafauna movement ecology
It is a golden age for animal movement studies and so an opportune time to assess priorities
for future work. We assembled 40 experts to identify key questions in this field, focussing on …

Local scale comparisons of biodiversity as a test for global protected area ecological performance: a meta-analysis
Terrestrial protected areas (PAs) are cornerstones of global biodiversity conservation. Their
efficacy in terms of maintaining biodiversity is, however, much debated. Studies to date have …

Fidelity to foraging sites after long migrations
Patterns of animal movement associated with foraging lie at the heart of many ecological
studies and often animals face decisions of staying in an environment they know versus …
