A great deal of theoretical and empirical work suggests that MPAs and fully no-take marine reserves may buffer marine communities from a range of perturbations26,27,28. Furthermore, networks of marine reserves, in contrast to single or stand-alone reserves, are predicted to provide increased resi...

2. Material and methods 2.1. Animals Fish were collected off the coast of Santa Catalina Island, California, using SCUBA (California Department of Fish and Wildlife Permit ID: S192610005–19271-001). Fish were then immediately transported to and housed within a community sea table in a laborator...
Many estuaries around the world have conservation designations primarily for the protection of birds, a recognition of estuaries’ importance to this group of wildlife. This is particularly the case for temperate estuaries, which provide vital feeding grounds for overwintering populations of wildfowl suc...
Although we were unable to identify the basis for developing these regulations, they were enacted under fish and wildlife regulations and thus presumably relate specifically to the protection of natural resources. Where and when drone fishing is permitted, it will be important to determine how this ...

"In western Oregon, we're finding that sooty grouse prefer older stands of Douglas fir timber situated near clearcuts," says Kelly Walton, assistant game bird biologist for theOregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. "We're also finding a surprising number of sooty grouse occupying rugged terrain...
they were tagged. This high site fidelity has considerable implications for the risk of disturbance to bonefish inhabiting reef flats. These small, isolated groups of fish are likely vulnerable to localized impacts such as habitat degradation or harvest and highly dependent on these specific locations...
