Identifying priority areas for conservation to promote connectivity and mitigate the impacts of anthropogenic disturbance. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract As nations seek to expand protected area (PA) networks to cover 30% of land and seas by 2030 (30×30), there is an urgent need for systematic conservation planning and spatial prioritization that considers the broad range of ecological and socioeconomic factors influencing the persistence of biodiversity.

Accounting for human-nature linkages in area-based conservation monitoring through social-ecological indicator bundles. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract As the coverage of area‐based conservation increases across the globe, it is critical to improve understanding of the social and ecological outcomes of such measures and the pathways to their outcomes. A social–ecological systems approach to monitoring and evaluation is increasingly advocated; yet, applications remain scarce.

Almost Seven Decades of Coastal Bird Community Recovery Across Three European Seas. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Our study examined long‐term trends in coastal bird communities across three European seas from 1957 to 2024. We found that bird abundance and diversity have increased over time, although these improvements vary among regions and sites. Protected areas—particularly strictly protected ones—play an important role in supporting these recoveries, but ...

Improvements for better scaling of locally managed marine areas. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract To protect and restore ecosystems at the speed and scale required to meet current environmental challenges, a greater understanding of how conservation initiatives spread from existing to new adopters is required. According to the diffusion of innovation theory, positive adopter‐to‐peer communication is a powerful driver of innovation spread ...

Incorporating cyclone risk in the design of marine protected and conserved areas as an ecosystem-based adaptation approach. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Marine protected and conserved areas (MPCAs) are promoted as an ecosystem‐based adaptation (EbA) approach to increase community and ecosystem resilience to climate change. However, traditional approaches to MPCA design typically do not consider climate risk or habitat condition under a climate threat.

Conservation benefits of a large marine protected area network that spans multiple ecosystems. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract 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.

Effects of protection on large-bodied reef fishes in the western Indian Ocean. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Predatory and large‐bodied coral reef fishes have fundamental roles in the functioning and biodiversity of coral reef ecosystems, but their populations are declining, largely due to overexploitation in fisheries. These fishes include sharks, groupers, Humphead wrasse (Cheilinus undulatus), and Green Humphead parrotfish (Bolbometopon muricatum).
