Spatial conservation priorities for marine megafaunal predators: Multiβtaxon versus taxonβspecific approaches
Conservation for marine megafaunal predators needs to improve as they are key for ecosystem functioning. We show that different marine predator taxonomic groups have heterogeneous distributions resul...
How should we best design marine protected areas for megafauna with large range sizes? New work from Betty Boyse et al suggests we should include taxon-specific coverage since multispecies MPAs can't address all taxon-specific ecological needs π§ͺππ¦π¦π³π

I went outside to continue cleaning up after yesterday's windstorm and looked into the trash can, and what do you think I saw? That's right, a possum mixed in with the leaves. It must have fallen in somehow.
Good news -- after about 15 minutes playing dead, this fabulous creature scurried away.
