Trophic group responses to marine reserve protection in temperate and tropical reefs: a systematic review and meta-analysis - npj Ocean Sustainability npj Ocean Sustainability - Trophic group responses to marine reserve protection in temperate and tropical reefs: a systematic review and meta-analysis

A global meta-analysis of 138 reef reserves shows that protection drives both direct and indirect community effects. Herbivorous fish benefit most in tropical reserves, coral cover increases, algae decline, and food-web responses vary across regions.

Zebrafish show stable judgment biases: pessimists react strongly to stress, while optimists show lower stress reactivity and reduced tumorigenesis. Judgment bias reflects personality and predicts stress resilience and disease susceptibility.

Simply designating areas for 30×30 risks ‘paper parks.’ Real conservation needs high-quality, strictly managed MPAs with clear rules to ensure genuine biodiversity and social benefits, not just meeting targets.

In 136 bird species, neophobia is consistent across taxa. Birds with specialist diets or migratory habits were more neophobic, supporting ecological hypotheses and showing how Big Team Science can reveal evolutionary patterns in behavior.
