Conceptualizing and measuring ecological spillover effects from protected areas
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.Protected areas influence their surroundings in a variety of ways. These “spillover effects” can change an area's conservation value and affect its social license. Advanced statistical tools for quantifying protected area spillovers are well established, but underlying assumptions about spillover geography and measurement often lack clarity.

Varying vulnerabilities: Seagrass species under threat from prolonged ocean warming
Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.Abstract Understanding the response of various seagrass species to prolonged elevated water temperatures is crucial for effective management and seagrass species restoration amid increasing climate change‐induced ocean warming and marine heat waves. This is especially important in intertidal seagrass meadows, where heat can penetrate substrate depths ...

Futures for the Great Barrier Reef ecosystem
Mathematical and Computer Modelling, 1990 The crown-of-thorns starfish, Acanthaster planci, is dramatically damaging the coral on many reefs of the Great Barrier Reef. It is still very uncertain what the result of this will be for the Great Barrier Reef ecosystem as a whole. We used a very simple artificial reef system, implemented in the cellular automata formalism, to model this problem and ...
