Mismatches in scale between highly mobile marine megafauna and marine protected areas

Melinda G. Conners et al.

Summary: Most marine protected areas (MPAs), especially large ones, are too small to encompass the complete home ranges of marine megafauna species. However, benefits can still be obtained from MPAs by targeting seasonal aggregations and critical life history stages, as well as other management techniques.

Sex-specific spatial use of the winter foraging areas by Magellanic penguins and assessment of potential conflicts with fisheries during winter dispersal

Samanta Dodino et al.

Summary: The research on Magellanic penguins revealed that during winter, female penguins typically dispersed further north than males, despite having lower trophic positions and diving less deep. Additionally, high spatial overlap was found between fisheries and penguins, without any significant statistical differences in overlap between sexes and fisheries.

Feeding ecology of the long finned pilot whale, Globicephala melas edwardii, in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean, determined by stable isotopes analysis

Yamila A. Becker et al.

Summary: Cetaceans, such as the long finned pilot whale, play a critical role in ecosystem dynamics as top predators in food webs. A study in the western South Atlantic Ocean analyzed stable isotope composition in bone collagen to uncover the feeding ecology of this species, revealing a preference for squid and occasional consumption of neritic prey. Plausible feeding areas for pilot whales were identified near Tierra del Fuego, emphasizing the importance of understanding their foraging preferences for conservation and management strategies in Marine Protected Areas.

The complex relationships between marine protected areas and marine spatial planning: Towards an analytical framework

Brice Trouillet et al.

Summary: Systems of Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) and Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are often developed in parallel, but lack integration due to the longer history and established institutional frameworks of marine conservation. However, there are various options available to link these processes more closely together.
