Drivers of recreational fisher compliance in temperate marine conservation areas: A study of Rockfish Conservation Areas in British Columbia, Canada

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2015
Overfishing has impacted marine species over the last century, with many large-bodied and long-lived species declining to critical levels. Marine conservation areas are a popular management tool to protect and recover marine species and their habitats ...

Cryo‐EM Structures Reveal the Molecular Basis of Asymmetric Allosteric Activation by MMOB in the Hydroxylase of Soluble Methane Monooxygenase

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cryo‐EM analysis reveals an asymmetric MMOH–MMOB complex with distinct protomers, where MMOB binding triggers structural rearrangements from the surface to the active site. This conformational asymmetry shortens the Fe···Fe distance to 2.7 Å in one protomer, forming a geometry suitable for O2 activation and supporting a sequential catalytic mechanism ...

Decoding anthropogenic risk through historical baselines: a conservation prioritization framework for Chinese white dolphin in anthropogenic seascapes

Frontiers in Marine Science
Coastal cetaceans confront intensifying anthropogenic pressures, yet quantifying historical habitat loss remains methodologically challenging in data-scarce regions where shifting baseline syndrome obscures conservation targets.

Mapping Governance Gaps on the High Seas [PDF]

, 2016
A patchwork of international bodies and treaties manage ocean resources and human activity in areas beyond any state's national jurisdiction. However, these governance bodies vary greatly in terms of their mandate, which determines their geographic scope,

Large marine protected areas represent biodiversity now and under climate change [PDF]

, 2017
Large marine protected areas (>30,000 km2) have a high profile in marine conservation, yet their contribution to conservation is contested. Assessing the overlap of large marine protected areas with 14,172 species, we found large marine protected areas ...

Genetic Control of Tissue Remodeling by a Non‐Coding SNP in ITGA8 Explains Carotenoid‐Based Color Polymorphism in Marine Mollusks

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, the orange‐muscle giant abalone (Haliotis gigantea) is used as a model to identify a non‐coding SNP that disrupts the interaction between ITGA8 pre‐mRNA and the splicing factor ILF2, leading to altered ITGA8 splicing. These splicing changes promote carotenoid accumulation in abalone muscle through the regulation of tissue remodeling ...

Charting the Path to Increased Oil Palm Output in Ghana Beyond Area Expansion: Technology or Managerial Capacity — Which Leads the Way?

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study sets out to investigate the prospects for raising oil palm output in sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly Ghana, without further expansion of cropland. Given global concerns about oil palm's role in deforestation and land use change, the focus is on enhancing productivity on existing farmlands.
