Shark abundances are decreasing on many coral reefs, but the ecosystem effects of this loss are poorly understood. Rays are a prevalent mesopredator in tropical coral reef ecosystems …
Our understanding of the ecology of sharks and other highly mobile marine species often relies on fishery‐dependent data or extractive fishery‐independent techniques that can …
Artificial reefs continue to be deployed in coastal areas to enhance local fisheries. An important factor influencing the success of artificial reefs may be the provision of refuge for …

Baited remote underwater video systems are becoming a widely adopted tool for sampling fish assemblages. One of the outstanding knowledge gaps associated with this technique is …
Aim Evaluating the effectiveness of marine reserves in achieving conservation goals is challenged by the decadal scales over which biological systems respond following …
Preserving biodiversity over time is a pressing challenge for conservation science. A key goal of marine protected areas (MPAs) is to maintain stability in species composition, via …
In recent decades, the abundance of sharks in the world's oceans has decreased due to overexploitation by commercial fisheries. Over this same period, sharks have been …
Baited remote underwater stereo-video systems (stereo-BRUVs) are commonly used to sample fish assemblages across areas of differing fish densities with little consideration of …
Networks of no-take marine reserves and partially-protected areas (with limited fishing) are being increasingly promoted as a means of conserving biodiversity. We examined changes …
