The challenge of assessing the effects of drifting fish aggregating devices on the behaviour and biology of tropical tunaNARA Subscribed
Fishers have intensively used drifting fish aggregating devices (DFADs) over the last three decades to facilitate their catch of tropical tunas. DFADs increase purse‐seine efficiency, potentially increasing tuna fishing mortality. They could also have impacts on tuna natural mortality and reproductive potential, and assessing the consequences of their presence at sea on tuna populations is a challenge. The use of DFADs results...
Regional climate downscaling over Europe: perspectives from the EURO-CORDEX communityNARA Subscribed
The European CORDEX (EURO-CORDEX) initiative is a large voluntary effort that seeks to advance regional climate and Earth system science in Europe. As part of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) - Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX), it shares the broader goals of providing a model evaluation and climate projection framework and improving communication with both the General Circulation Model (GCM) and...
Using spatially explicit, time‐dependent analysis to understand how social factors influence conservation outcomesNARA Subscribed
Conservation across human‐dominated landscapes requires an understanding of the social and ecological factors driving outcomes. Studies that link conservation outcomes to social and ecological factors have examined temporally static patterns. However, there may be different social and ecological processes driving increases and decreases in conservation outcomes that can only be revealed through temporal analyses. Through a cas...
Multi‐component β‐diversity approach reveals conservation dilemma between species and functions of coral reef fishesNARA Subscribed
Aim We applied a multicomponent approach based on the decomposition of taxonomic (both presence–absence and abundance) and functional beta diversity to determine the influence of ecological factors in shaping spatial distribution diversity of coral reef fishes, and the implications for conservation decisions. Location Lagoons of ten atolls characterized by low human pressure but with contrasted geomorphology in the Tuamotu Arc...
Defining the Impact of Non‐Native SpeciesNARA Subscribed
Non‐native species cause changes in the ecosystems to which they are introduced. These changes, or some of them, are usually termed impacts; they can be manifold and potentially damaging to ecosystems and biodiversity. However, the impacts of most non‐native species are poorly understood, and a synthesis of available information is being hindered because authors often do not clearly define impact. We argue that explicitly defi...
