Patterns and ecosystem consequences of shark declines in the ocean
Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 1055–1071 Abstract Whereas many land predators disappeared
before their ecological roles were studied, the decline of marine apex predators is still …

Horizon scan of global conservation issues for 2011
This review describes outcomes of a 2010 horizon-scanning exercise building upon the first
exercise conducted in 2009. The aim of both horizon scans was to identify emerging issues …

You can swim but you can't hide: the global status and conservation of oceanic pelagic sharks and rays
Fishing spans all oceans and the impact on ocean predators such as sharks and rays is
largely unknown. A lack of data and complicated jurisdictional issues present particular …

Why fishing magnifies fluctuations in fish abundance
It is now clear that fished populations can fluctuate more than unharvested stocks. However,
it is not clear why. Here we distinguish among three major competing mechanisms for this …

Using isoscapes to trace the movements and foraging behavior of top predators in oceanic ecosystems
The stable isotope composition of animal tissues can provide intrinsic tags to study the
foraging and migratory ecology of predators in the open ocean. Chapter 13 (this volume) …

Pelagic protected areas: the missing dimension in ocean conservation
Fewer protected areas exist in the pelagic ocean than any other ecosystem on Earth.
Although there is increasing support for marine protected areas (MPAs) as a tool for pelagic …
