Biological effects within no-take marine reserves: a global synthesis
The study and implementation of no-take marine reserves have increased rapidly over the past decade, providing ample data on the biological effects of reserve protection for a wide range of geographic locations and organisms. The plethora of new studies affords the opportunity to reevaluate previous findings and address formerly unanswered questions with extensive data syntheses. Our results sh...
متن کاملMarine biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and carbon cycles.
Although recent studies suggest that climate change may substantially accelerate the rate of species loss in the biosphere, only a few studies have focused on the potential consequences of a spatial reorganization of biodiversity with global warming. Here, we show a pronounced latitudinal increase in phytoplanktonic and zooplanktonic biodiversity in the extratropical North Atlantic Ocean in rec...
متن کاملThe case for establishing ecosystem-scale marine reserves.
In 1872, the headwaters of the Yellowstone River and the surrounding forests, canyons and geyser basins were designated the world’s first national park. Since then, most nations of the world, whatever their size, have protected important biological, scenic, geological and historic places. That decision to make Yellowstone a national park set in motion a series of events with unforeseen but fort...
متن کاملConsumers Control Diversity and Functioning of a Natural Marine Ecosystem
BACKGROUND Our understanding of the functional consequences of changes in biodiversity has been hampered by several limitations of previous work, including limited attention to trophic interactions, a focus on species richness rather than evenness, and the use of artificially assembled communities. METHODOLOGY AND PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In this study, we manipulated the density of an herbivorous ...
متن کاملOvercoming Adverse Selection: How Public Intervention Can Restore Market Functioning
As illustrated by liquidity support, equity injections and asset repurchases in financial crises and by IMF credit lines to countries, authorities often intervene in order to revivemarkets that have dried up or to create new ones. In such situations, agents participate only if they receive from the governmental scheme more than in the marketplace, while the market outcome depends on who joins t...
