Effectiveness of European Atlanto-Mediterranean MPAs: do they accomplish the expected effects on populations, communities and ecosystems?
The success of MPAs in conserving fishing resources and protecting marine biodiversity
relies strongly on how well they meet their planned (or implicit) management goals. From a …

Predicting species distribution from fishers' local ecological knowledge: a new alternative for data-poor management
Many develo** countries lack information to manage their endangered species, urging the
need for affordable and reliable information. We used Bayesian hierarchical spatial models …
