Advancing the use of evolutionary considerations in spatial conservation planning (2020)
Thesis
Robertson, S. Advancing the use of evolutionary considerations in spatial conservation planning. (Thesis). University of Salford

The existence of life on earth as we know it relies on a diversity of life. Biodiversity underpins vital ecosystems services globally, at all spatial scales, and yet is being lost at an alarming rate. Current extinction rates are estimated to be 100-...

Evaluation of marine spatial planning requires fit for purpose monitoring strategies (2020)
Journal Article
Stelzenmüller, V., Cormier, R., Gee, K., Shucksmith, R., Gubbins, M., Yates, K., …Clarke, S. (2021). Evaluation of marine spatial planning requires fit for purpose monitoring strategies. Journal of Environmental Management, 278, 111545. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2020.111545

Marine spatial planning (MSP) has rapidly become the most widely used integrated, place-based management approach in the marine environment. Monitoring and evaluation of MSP is key to inform best practices, adaptive management and plan iteration. Whi...

Can ecological models be transferred in time and space? An investigation using a range of contrasting taxa (2020)
Thesis
Copping, J. Can ecological models be transferred in time and space? An investigation using a range of contrasting taxa. (Thesis). University of Salford

Investigating the relationship between organisms and the environment has long been a focus of study in the conservation and ecology fields. Central to this research is the use of ecological models to explain, predict and project species distributions... Read More about Can ecological models be transferred in time and space? An investigation using a range of contrasting taxa.

Twelve recommendations for advancing marine conservation in European and contiguous seas (2020)
Journal Article
Katsanevakis, S., Coll, M., Fraschetti, S., Giakoumi, S., Goldsborough, D., Mačić, V., …Yates, K. (2020). Twelve recommendations for advancing marine conservation in European and contiguous seas. Frontiers in Marine Science, 7, 565968. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2020.565968

Like most ocean regions today, the European and contiguous seas experience cumulative impacts from local human activities and global pressures. They are largely in poor environmental condition with deteriorating trends. Despite several success storie...

A standard protocol for reporting species distribution models (2020)
Journal Article
Zurrel, D., Franklin, J., König, C., Yates, K., Zimmerman, N., & Merow, C. (2020). A standard protocol for reporting species distribution models. Ecography, 43(9), 1261-1277. https://doi.org/10.1111/ecog.04960

Species distribution models (SDMs) constitute the most common class of models across ecology, evolution and conservation. The advent of ready-to-use software pack - ages and increasing availability of digital geoinformation have considerably assis...

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 t... Read More about Marine social sciences: Looking towards a sustainable future.
