Climate change, coral loss, and the curious case of the parrotfish paradigm: why don't marine protected areas improve reef resilience?
Scientists have advocated for local interventions, such as creating marine protected areas
and implementing fishery restrictions, as ways to mitigate local stressors to limit the effects of …

The value of estuarine and coastal ecosystem services
The global decline in estuarine and coastal ecosystems (ECEs) is affecting a number of
critical benefits, or ecosystem services. We review the main ecological services across a …

The ecological role of sharks on coral reefs
Sharks are considered the apex predator of coral reefs, but the consequences of their global
depletion are uncertain. Here we explore the ecological roles of sharks on coral reefs and …
