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...

Offshore energy and marine spatial planning (2018)
Book
(2018). K. Yates, & C. Bradshaw (Eds.), Offshore energy and marine spatial planning. Routledge. https://doi.org/10.4324/9781315666877

The generation of offshore energy is a rapidly growing sector, competing for space in an already busy seascape. This book brings together the ecological, economic, and social implications of the spatial conflict this growth entails. Covering all ener...

Compatibility of offshore energy installations with marine protected areas (2018)
Book Chapter
Thurstan, R., Yates, K., & O'Leary, B. (2018). Compatibility of offshore energy installations with marine protected areas. In K. Yates, & C. Bradshaw (Eds.), Offshore Energy and Marine Spatial Planning (214-230). Routledge

Energy generation sites are increasingly being constructed in coastal and marine spaces and the rate of implementation is likely to increase in coming decades, due to a combination of increasing energy demand and international targets to reduce green...

Meaningful stakeholder participation in marine spatial planning with offshore energy (2018)
Book Chapter
Yates, K. (2018). Meaningful stakeholder participation in marine spatial planning with offshore energy. In K. Yates, & C. Bradshaw (Eds.), Offshore Energy and Marine Spatial Planning (169-188). Routledge

Within an increasingly busy seascape, competition between different uses of marine resources is growing. Offshore-energy generation in particular is expanding rapidly, with implications for both existing users and nature conservation. Marine spatial...

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...

Ocean zoning within a sparing versus sharing framework (2018)
Journal Article
McGowan, J., Bode, M., Holden, M., Davis, K., Krueck, N., Beger, M., …Possingham, H. (2018). Ocean zoning within a sparing versus sharing framework. Theoretical Ecology, 11(2), 245-254. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12080-017-0364-x

The land-sparing versus land-sharing debate centers around how different intensities of habitat use can be coordinated to satisfy competing demands for biodiversity persistence and food production in agricultural landscapes. We apply the broad concep... Read More about Ocean zoning within a sparing versus sharing framework.
