Emergence of the subtropical sea urchin Centrostephanus rodgersii as a threat to kelp forest ecosystems in northern New Zealand
CA Balemi, NT Shears - Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 - frontiersin.org
Marine protected areas have long been proposed as a key tool to restore lost food web
interactions and increase the resilience of ecosystems to climate change impacts. However …

The efficiency and effectiveness of different sea urchin removal methods for kelp forest restoration
Sea urchin overgrazing has caused widespread phase shifts from kelp forests to “urchin
barrens” on many temperate reefs, reducing habitat complexity, productivity, and …

[HTML][HTML] Effects of seasonal spawning closures on pike (Esox lucius L.) and perch (Perca fluviatilis L.) catches and coastal food webs in the western Baltic Sea
Marine protected areas have become one of the main tools in the battle to curb marine
biodiversity loss and habitat degradation. Yet, implementation of permanent fishery closures …

Evaluating the long term effectiveness of a Mediterranean marine protected area to tackle the effects of invasive and range expanding herbivorous fish on rocky reefs
Here we provide evidence, along an 8-year period time-series based on multifaceted data
from a Mediterranean marine protected area (MPA), whether protection can tackle invasive …

A review of recent and future marine extinctions
Between 20 and 24 marine extinctions, ranging from algal to mammal species, have
occurred over the past 500 years. These relatively low numbers question whether the sixth …

Meta-analysis reveals controls on oyster predation
Predators can have strong roles in structuring communities defined by foundation species.
Accumulating evidence shows that predation on reef-building oysters can be intense and …

Effects of fishing on the trophic structure of carnivorous fish assemblages from shallow rocky bottoms of the Mediterranean Sea and the temperate Atlantic Ocean
Here, we assess whether fishery exploitation affects the trophic structure of carnivorous fish.
We censused fish and analysed the stable isotope ratios of C and N of species targeted by …
