Local Replenishment of Coral Reef Fish Populations in a Marine Reserve
- G. Almany, M. Berumen, S. Thorrold, S. Planes, G. Jones
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 4 May 2007
The scale of larval dispersal of marine organisms is important for the design of networks of marine protected areas. We examined the fate of coral reef fish larvae produced at a small island reserve,… Expand
Coral Reef Fish Larvae Settle Close to Home
- G. Jones, S. Planes, S. Thorrold
- Biology, Medicine
- Current Biology
- 26 July 2005
Population connectivity through larval dispersal is an essential parameter in models of marine population dynamics and the optimal size and spacing of marine reserves. However, there are remarkably… Expand
Critical science gaps impede use of no-take fishery reserves.
- P. Sale, Robert K. Cowen, +8 authors R. Steneck
- Business, Medicine
- Trends in ecology & evolution
- 1 February 2005
As well as serving valuable biodiversity conservation roles, functioning no-take fishery reserves protect a portion of the fishery stock as insurance against future over-fishing. So long as there is… Expand
GENE FLOW AND LARVAL DURATION IN SEVEN SPECIES OF FISH FROM THE GREAT BARRIER REEF
- P. Doherty, S. Planes, P. Mather
- Biology
- 1 December 1995
The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is a continental archipelagic system of 5000 reefs and shoals stretching >2000 km along the east Australia coast. The interconnectivity of these reefs should determine… Expand
Marine reserves: size and age do matter.
- J. Claudet, C. Osenberg, +18 authors S. Planes
- Environmental Science, Medicine
- Ecology letters
- 1 May 2008
Marine reserves are widely used throughout the world to prevent overfishing and conserve biodiversity, but uncertainties remain about their optimal design. The effects of marine reserves are… Expand
Larval dispersal connects fish populations in a network of marine protected areas
- S. Planes, G. Jones, S. Thorrold
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 7 April 2009
Networks of no-take marine protected areas (MPAs) have been widely advocated for the conservation of marine biodiversity. But for MPA networks to be successful in protecting marine populations,… Expand
Larval Export from Marine Reserves and the Recruitment Benefit for Fish and Fisheries
- H. Harrison, D. Williamson, +9 authors G. Jones
- Biology, Medicine
- Current Biology
- 5 June 2012
Marine reserves, areas closed to all forms of fishing, continue to be advocated and implemented to supplement fisheries and conserve populations. However, although the reproductive potential of… Expand
Predator Crown-of-Thorns Starfish (Acanthaster planci) Outbreak, Mass Mortality of Corals, and Cascading Effects on Reef Fish and Benthic Communities
- Mohsen Kayal, Julie Vercelloni, +8 authors M. Adjeroud
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 8 October 2012
Outbreaks of the coral-killing seastar Acanthaster planci are intense disturbances that can decimate coral reefs. These events consist of the emergence of large swarms of the predatory seastar that… Expand
Transgenerational marking of embryonic otoliths in marine fishes using barium stable isotopes
- S. Thorrold, G. Jones, S. Planes, J. Hare
- Biology
- 13 April 2006
We describe a new technique for transgenerational marking of embryonic otoliths that promises significant advancements in the study of larval dispersal and population connectivity in marine fishes.… Expand
Connectivity and resilience of coral reef metapopulations in marine protected areas: matching empirical efforts to predictive needs
- L. Botsford, J. W. White, +5 authors G. Jones
- Biology, Medicine
- Coral Reefs
- 11 February 2009
Design and decision-making for marine protected areas (MPAs) on coral reefs require prediction of MPA effects with population models. Modeling of MPAs has shown how the persistence of metapopulations… Expand
