Measuring biological effectiveness across a very large, coherent network of coastal marine protected areas

Ecological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 5, July 2025.
Abstract We evaluated the performance of California's coastal marine protected area (MPA) network, the largest scientifically designed network of its kind, using SCUBA survey data from a large‐scale, long‐term kelp forest monitoring program. To comprehensively evaluate MPA performance, we employed multiple metrics across various scales of taxonomic and

Species Distribution Modeling of Killer Whales (Orcinus orca) in Australian Waters

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
In this study, we model the spatial distribution of killer whales in Australian waters using MaxEnt. The presence‐only SDMs identified potential areas of habitat suitability and conservation priority both within and outside of known locations. Moreover, the importance of certain predictor variables indicated a preference for different environmental ...

Spatial Modelling of Aerial Survey Data Reveals an Important European Storm‐Petrel Hotspot and Its Underlying Drivers Within the North‐East Atlantic

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
Determining the distribution and population size of marine species, especially small pelagic seabirds, such as the European storm‐petrel, is crucial for conservation but is challenging due to their wide ranges, high mobility and cryptic breeding habits.
