Two Decades of Marine Protection: Assemblage‐Wide and Species‐Specific Responses of Fish in a No‐Take MPA

Sasha K. Whitmarsh, Michael A. Sams, Daniel A. Ierodiaconou, Mary A. Young

ABSTRACT Marine protected areas (MPAs) are critical tools for conserving biodiversity and managing fisheries, yet their effectiveness must be regularly evaluated to ensure they meet conservation goals. This study assessed the ecological effects of an MPA established in 2002 in Port Phillip …

Two decades of no-take zones enhance lobster (Jasus edwardsii) abundance and size within marine protected areas in southeastern Australia

Mary A. Young, Michael A. Sams, Oli Dalby, Todd A. Doran et autres

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are a proven strategy for managing various stressors affecting marine ecosystems. No-take MPAs safeguard targeted species from fishing pressures, often enhancing their density, size, and biomass. Benthic species with high site fidelity, such as lobsters, have shown to …

Using predictive models to identify kelp refuges in marine protected areas for management prioritization

Mary A. Young, Kay Critchell, Michael A. Sams

Kelp forests serve as the foundation for shallow marine ecosystems in many temperate areas of the world but are under threat from various stressors, including climate change. To better manage these ecosystems now and into the future, understanding the impacts of climate …

Landscape context explains changes in the functional diversity of regenerating forests better than climate or species richness

Michael A. Sams, Hao Ran Lai, Stephen Patrick Bonser, Peter Anton Vesk et autres

Abstract Aim A rich literature on forest succession provides general expectations for the steps forests go through while reassembling after disturbance, yet we still have a surprisingly poor understanding of why the outcomes of forest recovery after logging (or other disturbances) vary …
