  • Acute effects of removing large fish from a near-pristine coral reef 
    Mccauley Douglas; Micheli Fiorenza; Young Hillary; Tittensor Derek; Brumbaugh Daniel; Madin Elizabeth; Holmes Katherine; Smith Jennifer; Lotze Heike; Desalles Paul; Arnold Suzanne; Worm Boris (Springer-Verlag, 2010)
    Large animals are severely depleted in many ecosystems, yet we are only beginning to understand the ecological implications of their loss. To empirically measure the short-term effects of removing large animals from an ...
  • Decentralize, adapt and cooperate 
    Sagarin Raphael; Alcorta Candace; Atran Scott; Blumstein Daniel; Dietl Gregory; Hochberg Michael; Johnson Dominic; Levin Simon; Madin Elizabeth; Madin Joshua; Prescott Elizabeth; Sosis Richard; Taylor Terence; Tooby John; Vermeij Geerat (Nature Publishing Group, 2010)
    Humankind faces a wide range of threats to its security and safety, from terrorist groups and cybercriminals to disease pandemics and climate change. All these threats share one characteristic: they are constantly changing. ...
  • Engaging Recreational Fishers in Management and Conservation: Global Case Studies 
    Granek Ef; Madin Elizabeth; Brown Mark; Figueira William; Cameron Dp; Hogan Z; Kristianson G; De Villiers P; Williaims Je; Post John; Zahn S; Arlinghaus R (Blackwell Publishing, 2008)
    Globally, The number of recreational fishers is sizeable and increasing in many countries. Associated with this trend is the potential for negative impacts on fish stocks through exploitation or management measures such ...
  • Field evidence for pervasive indirect effects of fishing on prey foraging behavior 
    Madin Elizabeth; Gaines Steven; Warner Rr (Ecological Society of America, 2010)
    The indirect, ecosystem-level consequences of ocean fishing, and particularly the mechanisms driving them, are poorly understood. Most studies focus on density-mediated trophic cascades, where removal of predators alternately ...
  • Fishing Indirectly Structures Macroalgal Assemblages By Altering Herbivore Behavior 
    Madin Elizabeth; Gaines Steven; Madin Js; Warner Rr (Univ Chicago Press, 2010)
    Fishing has clear direct effects on harvested species, but its cascading, indirect effects are less well understood. Fishing disproportionately removes larger, predatory fishes from marine food webs. Most studies of the ...
  • A global map of human impact on marine ecosystem 
    Halpern Benjamin; Walbridge Shaun; Selkoe Kimberly; Kappel Carrie; Micheli Fiorenza; D'Agrosa Caterina; Bruno John; Casey Kenneth; Ebert Colin; Fox Helen; Fujita Rod; Heinemann Dennis; Lenihan Hunter; Madin Elizabeth; Perry Matthew; Selig Elizabeth; Spalding Mark; Steneck Robert; Watson Reg (American Association for Advancement of Science, 2008)
    The management and conservation of the world's oceans require synthesis of spatial data on the distribution and intensity of human activities and the overlap of their impacts on marine ecosystems. We developed an ...
  • Global priority areas for incorporating land-sea connections in marine conservation 
    Halpern Benjamin; Ebert Colin; Kappel Carrie; Madin Elizabeth; Micheli Fiorenza; Perry Matthew; Selkoe Kimberly; Walbridge Shaun (Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2009)
    Coastal marine ecosystems rank among the most productive ecosystems on earth but are also highly threatened by the exposure to both ocean- and landbased human activities. Spatially explicit information on the distributions ...
  • Key features and context-dependence of fishery-induced trophic cascades 
    Salomon Anne; Gaichas Sarah; Shears Nick; Smith Jennifer; Madin Elizabeth; Gaines Steven (Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2010)
    Trophic cascades triggered by fishing have profound implications for marine ecosystems and the socioeconomic systems that depend on them. With the number of reported cases quickly growing, key features and commonalities ...
  • Predators, facilitators, or both? Re-evaluating an apparent predator-prey relationship 
    Madin Elizabeth; Madin Joshua (Inter Research, 2011)
    Predators and prey are occasionally observed to comingle in close proximity on coral reefs. Both lethal and non-lethal (i.e. behavioral) effects of predators on prey are well documented. However, observations of apparent ...
