BACKGROUND Comparing patterns of terrestrial and marine defaunation helps to place
human impacts on marine fauna in context and to navigate toward recovery. Defaunation …

Landscape genetics is now ten years old. It has stimulated research into the effect of
landscapes on evolutionary processes. This review describes the main topics that have …

Most spatial marine management techniques (eg, marine protected areas) draw stationary
boundaries around often mobile marine features, animals, or resource users. While these …

Conservation science is a rapidly develo** discipline, and the knowledge base it
generates is relevant for practical applications. It is therefore crucial to monitor biases and …

Marine protected areas (MPAs) that exclude fishing have been shown repeatedly to
enhance the abundance, size, and diversity of species. These benefits, however, mean little …

Studies in terrestrial systems suggest that long‐distance propagule dispersal is important for
landscape pattern and dynamics, but largely inconsequential for local demography. By …

ABSTRACT Aim Species distribution models (SDMs) have been used to address a wide
range of theoretical and applied questions in the terrestrial realm, but marine‐based …

The several forms of ecological spatial connectivity–population, genetic, community,
ecosystem–are among the most important ecological processes in determining the …

Rapid and radical degradation of the world's oceans is triggering increasing calls for more
effective approaches to protect, maintain, and restore marine ecosystems (Allison et al …
