Ecological and economic outcomes of area-based conservation and sustainable fisheries management in the Mediterranean SeaNARA Subscribed
Intergovernmental targets are reinforcing the need for more sustainable fisheries and more effective marine conservation. It is now urgent to understand how area-based conservation and sustainable fisheries management tools contribute to these environmental and socio-economic goals. Here, we systematically reviewed and assessed the outcomes of marine protected areas (accounting for their level of protection and of enforcement)...
Generalized method for decoupling position and attitude errors in satellite gravity gradiometryNARA Subscribed
A spacecraft equipped with a gravity gradiometer can provide direct, in situ measurements of a celestial body’s gravity field. However, accurate recovery of the gravity field from these measurements requires precise knowledge of the spacecraft’s position and attitude, as well as corrections for gradients induced by rotational motion. The impact of position and attitude errors becomes particularly critical during low-altitude o...
Rancho La Brea (RLB) in Los Angeles, USA, is an iconic fossil locality, owing to the high number and diversity of Quaternary vertebrate remains and their excellent preservation. More than a century of study, focused predominantly on large mammals, has provided valuable information along different lines of research, including taxonomy, taphonomy, isotopic ecology, functional morphology, and paleopathology. In order to develop a...
Climate and human stressors on global penguin hotspots: Current assessments for future conservationNARA Subscribed
As charismatic and iconic species, penguins can act as “ambassadors” or flagship species to promote the conservation of marine habitats in the Southern Hemisphere. Unfortunately, there is a lack of reliable, comprehensive, and systematic analysis aimed at compiling spatially explicit assessments of the multiple impacts that the world's 18 species of penguin are facing. We provide such an assessment by combining the available p...
Purpose of Review Forests support most global terrestrial biodiversity and contribute to the livelihood of billions of people, but these and other benefits are in jeopardy due to global change. This leads to questions, such as how to address the challenges of global change in forest management, given the lack of knowledge and deep uncertainty about future developments. In addition, many of the impediments to implement adaptati...
Exploitation shifted trophic ecology and habitat preferences of Mediterranean and Black Sea bluefin tuna over centuriesNARA Subscribed
During recent decades, the health of ocean ecosystems and fish populations has been threatened by overexploitation, pollution and anthropogenic‐driven climate change. Due to a lack of long‐term ecological data, we have a poor grasp of the true impact on the diet and habitat use of fishes. This information is vital if we are to recover depleted fish populations and predict their future dynamics. Here, we trace the long‐term die...
Climate and fisheries interact, often synergistically, and may challenge marine ecosystem functioning and, ultimately, seafood provision and human wellbeing that depend on them. Holistic and integrative approaches aiming at evaluating the spatial overlap between these major stressors are crucial for identifying marine regions and key fish species that require conservation priority to prevent possible future collapses. Based on...
Restoration is considered an effective strategy to accelerate the recovery of biological communities at local scale. However, the effects of restoration actions in the marine ecosystems are still unpredictable. We performed a global analysis of published literature to identify the factors increasing the probability of restoration success in coastal and marine systems. Our results confirm that the majority of active restoration...
Eutrophication is one of the most important anthropogenic pressures impacting coastal seas. In Europe, several legislations and management measures have been implemented to halt nutrient overloading in marine ecosystems. This study evaluates the impact of freshwater nutrient control measures on higher trophic levels (HTL) in European marine ecosystems following descriptors and criteria as defined by the Marine Strategy Framewo...
TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open accessNARA Subscribed
Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodivers...
