Conservation benefits of a large marine protected area network that spans multiple ecosystemsNARA Subscribed
Marine protected areas (MPAs) are widely implemented tools for long‐term ocean conservation and resource management. Assessments of MPA performance have largely focused on specific ecosystems individually and have rarely evaluated performance across multiple ecosystems either in an individual MPA or across an MPA network. We evaluated the conservation performance of 59 MPAs in California's large MPA network, which encompasses...
A marine protected area network does not confer community structure resilience to a marine heatwave across coastal ecosystemsNARA Subscribed
Marine protected areas (MPAs) have gained attention as a conservation tool for enhancing ecosystem resilience to climate change. However, empirical evidence explicitly linking MPAs to enhanced ecological resilience is limited and mixed. To better understand whether MPAs can buffer climate impacts, we tested the resistance and recovery of marine communities to the 2014–2016 Northeast Pacific heatwave in the largest scientifical...
Using machine learning to advance synthesis and use of conservation and environmental evidenceNARA Subscribed
Article impact statement : Machine learning optimizes processes of systematic evidence synthesis and improves its utility for evidence‐based conservation.
Seagrasses are marine flowering plants distributed worldwide. They are however threatened, mostly due to the increase of human activities. Seagrasses have the capacity to adapt their morphological, physiological, and mechanical traits to their local conditions. Mechanical traits have been identified as a good tool to investigate a plant‐species capacity to withstand physical forces or disturbances but are still sparsely studie...
Pancreas disease ( PD ) in N orwegian salmonid aquaculture has traditionally been caused by salmonid alphavirus ( SAV ) subtype 3. Following the isolation of a novel SAV subtype in 2010, marine SAV 2, two separate endemic areas have developed. It has been debated whether disease outbreaks due to marine SAV 2 result in milder clinical manifestations compared to outbreaks caused by SAV 3. The aim of this study was to descriptive...
In an 8‐week aquarium experiment, we investigated the interactive effects of waves (present vs. absent) and water‐column nutrient level (high vs. low) on the survival, growth, morphology, and biomechanics of the seagrass, Zostera noltii . Survival was reduced when plants were exposed to both waves and high nutrient levels. Wave and nutrient interaction significantly reduced aboveground biomass and leaf lengths, whereas waves i...
Mycoheterotrophic interactions are not limited to a narrow phylogenetic range of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungiNARA Subscribed
The majority of achlorophyllous mycoheterotrophic plant species associate with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Previous studies have shown that some species are highly specialized towards narrow lineages of AMF and have suggested that only particular lineages of these fungi are targeted by mycoheterotrophic plants. To test this hypothesis, we analyzed all available partial SSU sequences of AMF associated with mycoheterotro...
A cohort study was initiated in the spring of 2006 to investigate epidemiological aspects and pathogenesis of salmonid alphavirus (SAV) subtype 3 infections and pancreas disease (PD). The aims were to assess involvement of the freshwater production phase, the extent and frequency of subclinical infections and to follow PD‐affected populations throughout the entire seawater production cycle, as well as investigate possible risk...
