Evidence for rapid recovery of shark populations within a coral reef marine protected area
There is limited evidence on the rate at which the shark populations of coral reefs can
rebound from over-exploitation, the baselines that might signify when recovery has occurred …

Appropriate set times to represent patterns of rocky reef fishes using baited video
Abstract Baited Remote Underwater Video (BRUV) has become a popular technique to
survey fish assemblages for a wide range of purposes. BRUV methodology has, however …

To what extent do mesophotic coral ecosystems and shallow reefs share species of conservation interest? A systematic review
Background Globally, shallow-water coral reef biodiversity is at risk from a variety of threats,
some of which may attenuate with depth. Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs), occurring …

Drifting baited stereo‐videography: a novel sampling tool for surveying pelagic wildlife in offshore marine reserves
We present a novel system of drifting pelagic baited stereo‐video cameras that operate in
deep‐water, topographically complex environments typically considered inaccessible for …
