Journal Article
McKinley, E., Acott, T., & Yates, K. (2020). Marine social sciences : looking towards a sustainable future. Environmental Science and Policy, 108, 85-92. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsci.2020.03.015

Marine and coastal environments provide extensive and essential ecosystem services upon which much of humanity relies, yet the incorporation of human dimensions into marine and coastal policy and management has historically been lacking. As efforts... Read More about Marine social sciences : looking towards a sustainable future.

What is the nature and extent of evidence on methodologies for monitoring and evaluating marine spatial management measures in UK and similar coastal waters? A systematic map protocol (2019)
Journal Article
O'Leary, B., Bryce, D., McKinley, E., Addison, P. F. E., Williams, C., Carpenter, G., …Yates, K. L. (2019). What is the nature and extent of evidence on methodologies for monitoring and evaluating marine spatial management measures in UK and similar coastal waters? A systematic map protocol. Environmental Evidence, 8(1), 34. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13750-019-0178-y

Background: Anthropogenic degradation of marine ecosystems is widely accepted as a major social-ecological problem. The growing urgency to better manage marine ecosystems has led to the increasing application of ‘spatial management measures’ includin...

Stakeholder dynamics, perceptions and representation in a regional coastal partnership (2019)
Journal Article
Buchan, P., & Yates, K. (2019). Stakeholder dynamics, perceptions and representation in a regional coastal partnership. Marine Policy, 101(Mar 19), 125-136. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpol.2018.12.017

Effective stakeholder participation is increasingly seen as an essential part of improving marine and coastal management. Coastal partnerships are a well-established informal method for enabling stakeholder participation in coastal management. Howeve...

Purpose vs performance : what does marine protected area success look like? (2018)
Journal Article
Yates, K., Clarke, B., & Thurstan, R. (2018). Purpose vs performance : what does marine protected area success look like?. Environmental Science and Policy, 92, 76-86. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsci.2018.11.012

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are an increasingly deployed spatial management tool. MPAs are primarily designed for biodiversity conservation, with their success commonly measured using a narrow suite of ecological indicators. However, for MPAs to ac...

Outstanding challenges in the transferability of ecological models (2018)
Journal Article
Yates, K., Bouchet, P., Caley, M., & Mengersen, K. E. A. (2018). Outstanding challenges in the transferability of ecological models. Trends in Ecology and Evolution, 33(10), 790-802. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tree.2018.08.001

Predictive models are central to many scientific disciplines and vital for informing management in a rapidly changing world. However, limited understanding of the accuracy and precision of models transferred to novel conditions (their ‘transferabilit...

Conserving European biodiversity across realms (2018)
Journal Article
Giakoumi, S., Hermoso, V., Carvalho, S., Markantonatou, V., Dagys, M., Iwamura, T., …Vogiatzakis, I. (2019). Conserving European biodiversity across realms. Conservation Letters, 12(1), e12586. https://doi.org/10.1111/conl.12586

Terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems are connected via multiple biophysical and ecological processes. Identifying and quantifying links among ecosystems is necessary for the uptake of integrated conservation actions across realms. Such acti...

Transferring biodiversity models for conservation : opportunities and challenges (2018)
Journal Article
Sequeira, A., Bouchet, P., Yates, K., Mengersen, K., & Caley, M. (2018). Transferring biodiversity models for conservation : opportunities and challenges. Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 9(5), 1250-1264. https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210X.12998

After decades of extensive surveying, knowledge of the global distribution of species still remains inadequate for many purposes. In the short to medium term, such knowledge is unlikely to improve greatly given the often prohibitive costs of surveyin...
