Methods of conducting simultaneous exothermic and endothermic reactions Open
Integrated Combustion Reactors (ICRs) and methods of making ICRs are described in which combustion chambers (or channels) are in direct thermal contact to reaction chambers for an endothermic reaction. Superior results were achieved for co…

Increasing spillover enhances southern California spiny lobster catch along marine reserve borders Open
The conservation benefits of marine reserves are well established but their contribution to adjacent fisheries via spillover is less certain and context‐dependent. Theoretical predictions do not always match empirical evidence from individ…

Collaborative Research and Data-Limited Assessment of Small-Scale Trap Fisheries in the Santa Barbara Channel Open
Globally, most fisheries are managed ineffectively. Model-based stock assessments that estimate biomass-based reference points work well for sustainably managing data-rich fisheries, but small-scale fisheries typically lack the data and/or…

Detecting a need for improved management in a data-limited crab fishery Open
A majority of fisheries worldwide lack effective management because of poor quality data and limited resources. Data-limited stock assessments are increasingly used where model-based, data-rich approaches are not possible. However, their w…

A user-friendly tool to evaluate the effectiveness of no-take marine reserves Open
Marine reserves are implemented to achieve a variety of objectives, but are seldom rigorously evaluated to determine whether those objectives are met. In the rare cases when evaluations do take place, they typically focus on ecological ind…
