Well‐designed and effectively managed networks of marine reserves can be effective tools
for both fisheries management and biodiversity conservation. Connectivity, the demographic …

Here we review the population, community, and evolutionary consequences of marine
reserves. Responses at each level depend on the tendency of fisheries to target larger body …

At the crux of the debate over the global sustainability of fisheries is what society must do to
prevent over‐exploitation and aid recovery of fisheries that have historically been over …

Coral reef fishes differ in their intrinsic vulnerability to fishing and rates of population
recovery after cessation of fishing. We reviewed life history-based predictions about the …

Macroalgal fields are a feature of the shallow tropical benthos, yet their importance for coral
reef fish population dynamics remains poorly understood. The abundance of fish recruits …

Coral grouper (genus Plectropomus), or coral trout, are members of the grouper family
(Epinephelidae) and are one of the largest and most conspicuous predatory fishes on Indo …

Severe climatic disturbance events often have major impacts on coral reef communities,
generating cycles of decline and recovery, and in some extreme cases, community‐level …

Marine reserves are often established in areas that support fisheries. Larval export from
reserves is argued to help compensate for the loss of fishable habitat; however, previous …

Temporal patterns in spawning and juvenile recruitment can have major effects on
population size and the demographic structure of coral reef fishes. For harvested species …

The goals of ecosystem‐based management (EBM) include protecting ecological resilience,
the magnitude of a perturbation that a community can withstand and remain in a given state …
