Sustainable reference points for multispecies coral reef fisheries

The paper estimates sustainable reference points for multispecies coral reef fisheries using environmental data and assesses their status, finding that over half of jurisdictions have failed sustainability benchmarks.

Identifying barriers to gene flow and hierarchical conservation units from seascape genomics: a modelling framework applied to a marine predator

This paper develops a modelling framework to identify gene flow barriers and conservation units in marine species using seascape genomics, applied to grey reef sharks.

How many replicates to accurately estimate fish biodiversity using environmental DNA on coral reefs?

This study determines the number of replicates needed for accurate fish biodiversity estimation using eDNA metabarcoding on coral reefs, finding that 25 replicates are required for regional diversity saturation.

A quantitative review of abundance-based species distribution models

This study evaluates 68 abundance-based species distribution models using 800,000 abundance records, finding high performance variability and highlighting the importance of environmental domain alignment for accurate predictions.

Strong functional divergence of tropical reef fish assemblages along the global diversity gradient

The paper shows that tropical reef fish assemblages show strong trait divergence along the global diversity gradient, influenced by body size and diet, and linked to past climatic isolation of reefs.

Testing the phylogenetic gambit: how much functional diversity can we reliably conserve if we prioritize phylogenetic diversity?

The paper tests whether maximizing phylogenetic diversity (PD) reliably captures functional diversity (FD) across 15,000 vertebrate species, finding mixed results with an average 18% FD gain but also cases where PD sets had less FD than random selections.
