• The Former Pelagic Longline Fishery of a Large‐Scale Marine Protected Area 

  Kerry, C; Metcalfe, K; Brown, J; et al. (Wiley, 14 February 2025)

  The establishment of large-scale marine protected areas (LSMPAs) has emerged as one of the defining trends in ocean conservation over recent decades. To assess the potential benefits of such designations, it is necessary ...

• A synthesis of research into marine small-scale fishers’ operational behaviour 

  Warner, P; Kerry, C; Nuno, A; et al. (Elsevier, 26 April 2025)

  Understanding of the current landscape and focus of peer-reviewed research on small-scale fisheries (SSF) operational behaviour is lacking despite its importance for management and guiding future research efforts. To address ...

• Immediate and longer-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on scientific productivity in ecology and evolution 

  Meirmans, S; Postma, E; Neiman, M; et al. (The Royal Society, 23 April 2025)

  While the subject of much speculation, most quantitative assessments of the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on scientific productivity (i) are based on self-reported survey data, (ii) cover only a short period of time, ...

• Individual plasticity in response to rising sea temperatures contributes to an advancement in green turtle nesting phenology 

  Rickwood, ML; Tucker, E; Beton, D; et al. (The Royal Society, 19 February 2025)

  Phenological changes (i.e. shifts in the timing of biological events) are among the most frequently reported population-level responses to climate change and are often assumed to be adaptive and increase population viability. ...

• Functional composition of the Amazonian tree flora and forests 

  ter Steege, H; Poorter, L; Aguirre-Gutiérrez, J; et al. (Nature Research, 3 March 2025)

  Plants cope with the environment by displaying large phenotypic variation. Two spectra of global plant form and function have been identified: a size spectrum from small to tall species with increasing stem tissue density, ...
