• A “rights-based approach” to climate change and biodiversity loss: rights of humans, Nature, and future generations

  Ethics Sci Environ Polit

  Climate change and biodiversity loss, as well as their responses, including mitigation, adaptation and conservation measures, have human rights implications. An analysis of the linkages between human…

  Keywords: Climate change, Biodiversity, Human rights, Biodiversity conservation, Nature’s rights, Indigenous people, Future generations

  Authors: Droz L, Uchida M, Kameyama Y

  DOI: https://doi.org/10.3354/esep00239

• Molecular biorepositories and biomaterials management: enhancing the value of high-throughput molecular methodologies for the natural sciences

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 332:307-310 (2007)

  Genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and a rapidly growing list of ‘omic’ methodologies have the capacity to transform our view of biology and ecology by tapping the enormous information content of…

  Keywords: Genomic conservation, Biobanking, Biological banking, Genome banking, Genome resource repositiory, Biorepository, Biodiversity, Bioinformatics, Archiving

  Authors: Distel DL

  DOI: https://doi.org/10.3354/meps332307

• Year-round offshore distribution, behaviour, and overlap with commercial fisheries of a Critically Endangered small petrel

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 660:171-187 (2021)

  Without insights into the threats affecting species across their distributions and throughout their annual cycles, effective conservation management cannot be applied. The Whenua Hou diving petrel…

  Keywords: Biologging, Conservation, Global Fishing Watch, Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas, Pelecanoides whenuahouensis, Whenua Hou diving petrel

• Functional surrogacy of the seagrass Ruppia cirrhosa for endangered Zostera capensis in supporting estuarine macrofaunal diversity

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser

  Seagrass loss is accelerating globally, yet the extent to which co-occurring macrophytes can compensate for associated biodiversity declines remains poorly understood. The endangered eelgrass Zostera…

  Keywords: Estuarine macrobenthos, seagrass structural complexity, biodiversity offsetting, functional equivalency, conservation triage

  Authors: Lawrence C, Barnes RSK, Smith MK, Arendse C, Majola N, Njapha N, Dreyer K, Human L, Ndhlovu A

• Influence of marsh island size on nekton communities: intermediate optima rather than Single-Large-or-Several-Small (SLOSS)

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 672:45-56 (2021)

  Habitat extent and configuration are critical drivers of faunal abundance, diversity, and ecosystem functioning. Evidence from terrestrial systems often suggests that large contiguous tracts of…

  Keywords: Landscape, Conservation, Tidal marshes, Fragmentation, Biodiversity, Faunal abundance

• Detrimental conditions affecting Xestospongia muta across shallow and mesophotic coral reefs off the southwest coast of Puerto Rico

  Dis Aquat Org 147:47-61 (2021)

  Sponges are fundamental components of coral reef communities and, unfortunately, like other major benthic members, they too have been impacted by epizootic and panzootic events. We report on the…

• Evidence-to-decision framework using expert elicitation for conservation translocation decision-making

  Endang Species Res

  Conservation translocations are increasingly used to support imperilled species recovery. Existing guidance provides critical insight into topic-specific considerations for conservation translocation…

  Keywords: biodiversity, conservation, expert elicitation, imperilled species, reintroduction
