Atmospheric Trace Metal Deposition near the Great Barrier Reef, Australia

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2020
Aerosols deposited into the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) contain iron (Fe) and other trace metals, which may act as micronutrients or as toxins to this sensitive marine ecosystem. In this paper, we quantified the atmospheric deposition of Fe and investigated

Success of restoration strategies in preventing extirpation of 2 critically endangered coral species

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract An unprecedented marine heatwave in 2023 caused widespread coral bleaching and mortality throughout the Caribbean. In the Florida Keys (USA), 2 foundation species, elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata) and staghorn coral (Acropora cervicornis), were severely affected.

Fishing for Anglers in a Sea of Data: Using Mobility Data to Identify and Track Marine Recreational Fishing

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Analysing recreational anglers in marine waters presents several challenges. First, while there are well‐established approaches to estimate fishing effort, they are only as good as the coverage of the underlying data, which invariably has blind spots that can bias estimates. Additionally, tracking anglers' movements over time and their fishing

Microbiota characterization of Exaiptasia diaphana from the Great Barrier Reef

open access: yesAnimal Microbiome, 2020
Background Coral reefs have sustained damage of increasing scale and frequency due to climate change, thereby intensifying the need to elucidate corals’ biological characteristics, including their thermal tolerance and microbial symbioses.

Chasing Fish: 130 Years of Innovation, Displacement and Depletion in Scottish Fisheries

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rebuilding the depleted fisheries of the 21st century requires an understanding of past drivers of their decline. Despite Scotland's central role in the commercial exploitation of North Sea fisheries for over a century, associations between technological innovations, regulatory introductions and fishery landings have not previously been ...

A Conceptual Framework and Methods for Studying the Connectivity of Fishes

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Connectivity is a multifaceted concept that has important implications for the management and conservation of marine and freshwater fishes. We developed a conceptual framework that encompasses multiple, interrelated categories of connectedness, including landscape (e.g., structural, functional) connectivity and ecological (e.g., trophic ...

Freshwater fishes of the Waterberg aquatic ecoregion, South Africa: Diversity, taxonomic conflicts and conservation concerns

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Southern Africa is a region denoted by both high levels of fish diversity, some of it cryptic and unrecognised by current taxonomy, and severely threatened freshwater ecosystems. The Waterberg, a key aquatic ecoregion of the greater Limpopo River basin in South Africa, represents an area with high terrestrial conservation value but is lacking ...

Individual identification of bony fishes using unique body markings: Implications and applications

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The natural variation in animal body markings, such as spots, stripes and blotches, offers a powerful tool for researchers, conservationists, citizen scientists and resource managers to distinguish specific individuals within species. By building libraries of photo‐identified individuals, we can track and differentiate individuals over time ...
