Journal Article Full text
Increased sediment loads cause non-linear decreases in seagrass suitable habitat extent.
Land-based activities, including deforestation, agriculture, and urbanisation, cause increased erosion, reduced inland and coastal water quality, and subsequent loss or degradation of downstream coastal marine ecosystems. Quantitative approaches to link sediment loads from catchments to metrics of…

Simple rules can guide whether land- or ocean-based conservation will best benefit marine ecosystems
Coastal marine ecosystems can be managed by actions undertaken both on the land and in the ocean. Quantifying and comparing the costs and benefits of actions in both realms is therefore necessary for efficient management. Here, we quantify the link between terrestrial sediment runoff and a…

Predicting the impact of logging activities on soil erosion and water quality in steep, forested tropical islands
Increasing development in tropical regions provides new economic opportunities that can improve livelihoods, but it threatens the functional integrity and ecosystem services provided by terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems when conducted unsustainably. Given the small size of many islands…

Conservation prioritization can resolve the flagship species conundrum
Conservation strategies based on charismatic flagship species, such as tigers, lions, and elephants, successfully attract funding from individuals and corporate donors. However, critics of this species-focused approach argue it wastes resources and often does not benefit broader biodiversity. If…

Advancing Social Equity in and Through Marine Conservation
Substantial efforts and investments are being made to increase the scale and improve the effectiveness of marine conservation globally. Though it is mandated by international law and central to conservation policy, less attention has been given to how to operationalize social equity in and through…

The minimum land area requiring conservation attention to safeguard biodiversity
Ambitious conservation efforts are needed to stop the global biodiversity crisis. In this study, we estimate the minimum land area to secure important biodiversity areas, ecologically intact areas, and optimal locations for representation of species ranges and ecoregions. We discover that at least…

Development, Validation, and Implementation of a Medical Judgment Metric
Background: Medical decision making is a critical, yet understudied, aspect of medical education. Aims: To develop the Medical Judgment Metric (MJM), a numerical rubric to quantify good decisions in practice in simulated environments; and to obtain initial preliminary evidence of reliability and…
