The Mediterranean Sea as a ‘cul‐de‐sac’ for endemic fishes facing climate change (2010, background): “Although the Mediterranean Sea coast has highly patchy substrata (e.g., Garcia-Charton et al., 2004), at the scale of observation used in this study (0.11 0.11), it was unlikely that a primary substratum (rock, seagrass, or sand-mud) would be absent in any cell or not within fish swimming distance.”
Models and indicators for assessing conservation and fisheries-related effects of marine protected areas (2008, unknown): “Recent works by Garcìa-Charton et al. (2004), Micheli et al. (2005) and Claudet (2006) show how habitat effects and protection effects may interact and complicate the evaluation of conservation effects of MPA.”
Fisheries in coastal lagoons: An assumed but poorly researched aspect of the ecology and functioning of coastal lagoons (2012, methodology): “Then, the residuals of regression analyses between CPUEA and fishing effort were used as dependent variables (RESCPUEA) in the regression analyses (Chapman and Kramer, 1999; García-Charton et al., 2004).”
Evaluating the biological effectiveness of fully and partially protected marine areas (2013, background): “Despite the evidence of beneficial effects of no-take marine reserves for enhancing biomass and density of exploited species within the boundaries of the reserve [12-14], enhancing reproductive output [15,16], rehabilitating community structure [17,18] and biomass export through adult migration [19-”
Long-term and spillover effects of a marine protected area on an exploited fish community (2009, background): “Expected benefits of MPAs to fishes in this region include an increase in abundance, biomass and fecundity, as well as a potential for benefits to biodiversity (García-Charton et al. 2008).”
Spillover of spiny lobsters Palinurus elephas from a marine reserve to an adjoining fishery (2006, unknown): “This concern highlights the importance of incorporating relevant environmental variables, such as habitat characteristics, in studies of reserve effects (Chapman & Kramer 1999, García-Charton et al. 2004).”
