The impacts of climate change and the socioecological challenges they present are ubiquitous increasingly severe. Practical efforts to operationalize climate-responsive design management in global network marine protected areas (MPAs) required ensure long-term effectiveness for safeguarding biodiversity ecosystem services. Here, we review progress integrating adaptation into MPA provide eight recommendations expedite this process. Climate-smart objectives should become default all areas,...
Understanding and reducing the incidence of accidental bycatch, particularly for vulnerable species such as sharks, is a major challenge contemporary fisheries management. Here we establish integrated nested Laplace approximations (INLA) stochastic partial differential equations (SPDE) two powerful tools modelling patterns bycatch through time space. These novel, computationally fast approaches are applied to fit zero-inflated hierarchical spatiotemporal models Greenland shark (Somniosus...
The stable isotope ratio and seasonal changes in diet of Alluaud's haplo Astatoreochromis alluaudi , a cichlid fish with massive pharyngeal jaws well known for its ability to process hard‐bodied prey, are described. A. was quantified Lake Saka, Uganda, over period 30 months. Variation physico‐chemical variables (mean monthly rainfall, water temperature, turbidity dissolved oxygen), as potential competitor density food abundance, measured throughout the second half study (14 months). Stomach...
Sharks are among the most ancient predators on Earth, having roamed oceans for more than 400 million years. Previously abundant and widespread, many populations have dwindled to a small fractio...

 Cichlid fishes of the East African Great Lakes represent some most diverse vertebrate faunas in world, and trophic specialization, specific adaptation feeding structures to one type prey, is often used explain coexistence these closely related species. However, Liem’s Paradox suggests that organisms with specialized phenotypes may act primarily as generalist feeders nature, which can create a mismatch between diet morphology. Our goal was study widespread cichlid, Astatoreochromis...
