1. As systems of marine protected areas (MPAs) expand globally, there is a risk that new MPAs will be biased toward places that are remote or unpromising for extractive activities, and hence follow the trend of terrestrial protected areas in being 'residual' to commercial uses. Such locations typically provide little protection to the species and ecosystems that are most exposed to threatening processes. 2. There are strong political motivations to establish residual reserves that minimize costs and conflicts with users of natural resources. These motivations will likely remain in place as long as success continues to be measured in terms of area (km2) protected. 3. The global pattern of MPAs was reviewed and appears to be residual, supported by a rapid growth of large, remote MPAs. The extent to which MPAs in Australia are residual nationally and also regionally within the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) Marine Park was also examined. 4. Nationally, the recently announced Australian Commonwealth marine reserves were found to be strongly residual, making almost no difference to 'business as usual' for most ocean uses. Underlying this result was the imperative to minimize costs, but without the spatial constraints of explicit quantitative objectives for representing bioregions or the range of ecological features in highly protected zones. 5. In contrast, the 2004 rezoning of the GBR was exemplary, and the potential for residual protection was limited by applying a systematic set of planning principles, such as representing a minimum percentage of finely subdivided bioregions. Nonetheless, even at this scale, protection was uneven between bioregions. Within-bioregion heterogeneity might have led to no-take zones being established in areas unsuitable for trawling with a risk that species assemblages differ between areas protected and areas left available for trawling. 6. A simple four-step framework of questions for planners and policy makers is proposed to help reverse the emerging residual tendency of MPAs and maximize ...

Motivation: The BioTIME database contains raw data on species identities and abundances in ecological assemblages through time. These data enable users to calculate temporal trends in biodiversity within and amongst assemblages using a broad range of metrics. BioTIME is being developed as a community-led open-source database of biodiversity time series. Our goal is to accelerate and facilitate quantitative analysis of temporal patterns of biodiversity in the Anthropocene. Main types of variables included: The database contains 8,777,413 species abundance records, from assemblages consistently sampled for a minimum of 2 years, which need not necessarily be consecutive. In addition, the database contains metadata relating to sampling methodology and contextual information about each record. Spatial location and grain: BioTIME is a global database of 547,161 unique sampling locations spanning the marine, freshwater and terrestrial realms. Grain size varies across datasets from 0.0000000158 km(2) (158 cm(2)) to 100 km(2) (1,000,000,000,000 cm(2)). Time period and grainBio: TIME records span from 1874 to 2016. The minimal temporal grain across all datasets in BioTIME is a year. Major taxa and level of measurement: BioTIME includes data from 44,440 species across the plant and animal kingdoms, ranging from plants, plankton and terrestrial invertebrates to small and large vertebrates. ; European Research Council; EU [AdG-250189, PoC-727440, ERC-SyG-2013-610028]; Natural Environmental Research Council [NE/L002531/1]; National Science Foundation [DEB-1237733, DEB-1456729, 9714103, 0632263, 0856516, 1432277, DEB 9705814, BSR-8811902, DEB 9411973, DEB 0080538, DEB 0218039, DEB 0620910, DEB 0963447, DEB-1546686, DEB-129764]; National Science Foundation (LTER) [DEB-1235828, DEB-1440297, DBI-0620409, DEB-9910514, DEB-1237517, OCE-0417412, OCE-1026851, OCE-1236905, OCE-1637396, DEB 1440409, DEB-0832652, DEB-0936498, DEB-0620652, DEB-1234162, DEB-0823293, OCE-9982105, OCE-0620276, OCE-1232779]; Fundacao para a Ciencia e Tecnologia [POPH/FSE SFRH/BD/90469/2012, SFRH/BD/84030/2012, PTDC/BIA-BIC/111184/2009]; Ciencia sem Fronteiras/CAPES [1091/13-1]; Instituto Milenio de Oceanografia [IC120019]; ARC Centre of Excellence [CE0561432]; NSERC Canada; CONICYT/FONDECYT [1160026, ICM PO5-002, 11110351, 1151094, 1070808, 1130511]; RSF [14-50-00029]; Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation [GBMF4563]; Catalan Government; Marie Curie Individual Fellowship [QLK5-CT2002-51518, MERG-CT-2004-022065]; CNPq [306170/2015-9, 475434/2010-2, 403809/2012-6, 561897/2010, 306595-2014-1]; FAPESP (Sao Paulo Research Foundation) [2015/10714-6, 2015/06743-0, 2008/10049-9, 2013/50714-0, 1999/09635-0 e 2013/50718-5]; EU CLIMOOR [ENV4-CT97-0694]; VULCAN [EVK2-CT2000-00094]; DFG [120/10-2]; Polar Continental Shelf Program; CENPES - PETROBRAS; FAPERJ [E-26/110.114/ 2013]; German Academic Exchange Service; New Zealand Department of Conservation; Wellcome Trust [105621/Z/14/Z]; Smithsonian Atherton Seidell Fund; Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority; Research Council of Norway; Conselleria de Innovacio, Hisenda i Economia; Yukon Government Herschel Island-Qikiqtaruk Territorial Park; UK Natural Environment Research Council ShrubTundra Grant [NE/M016323/1]; IPY; Memorial University; ArcticNet; Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research in the Tropics NWO [W84-194]; Ciencias sem Fronteiras and Coordenacao de Pessoal de Nivel Superior (CAPES, Brazil) [1091/13-1]; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service/State Wildlife federal grant [T-15]; Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies [CE140100020]; Australian Research Council Future Fellowship [FT110100609]; University of Lodz; NSF DEB [1353139]; Catalan Government fellowships (DURSI) [1998FI-00596, 2001BEAI200208]; MECD Post-doctoral fellowship [EX2002-0022]; FONDECYT [1141037]; FONDAP [15150003]; [SFRH/BD/80488/2011]; [PD/BD/52597/2014]; [REN2000-0278/CCI]; [REN2001-003/GLO]; [CGL2016-79835-P]; [AGAUR SGR-2014453]; [SGR-2017-1005]; [FCT - SFRH / BPD / 82259 / 2011]; [OCE 95-21184]; [OCE-0099226]; [OCE 03-5234]; [OCE-0623874]; [OCE-1031061]; [OCE-1336206]; [DEB-1354563]; [OPP-1440435] ; 12 month embargo; published online: 24 July 2018 ; This item from the UA Faculty Publications collection is made available by the University of Arizona with support from the University of Arizona Libraries.

The global lockdown to mitigate COVID-19 pandemic health risks has altered human interactions with nature. Here, we report immediate impacts of changes in human activities on wildlife and environmental threats during the early lockdown months of 2020, based on 877 qualitative reports and 332 quantitative assessments from 89 different studies. Hundreds of reports of unusual species observations from around the world suggest that animals quickly responded to the reductions in human presence. However, negative effects of lockdown on conservation also emerged, as confinement resulted in some park officials being unable to perform conservation, restoration and enforcement tasks, resulting in local increases in illegal activities such as hunting. Overall, there is a complex mixture of positive and negative effects of the pandemic lockdown on nature, all of which have the potential to lead to cascading responses which in turn impact wildlife and nature conservation. While the net effect of the lockdown will need to be assessed over years as data becomes available and persistent effects emerge, immediate responses were detected across the world. Thus, initial qualitative and quantitative data arising from this serendipitous global quasi-experimental perturbation highlights the dual role that humans play in threatening and protecting species and ecosystems. Pathways to favorably tilt this delicate balance include reducing impacts and increasing conservation effectiveness. ; The Canada Research Chairs program provided funding for the core writing team.
