Dear all,
I would like to draw your attention to a paper just published in PLoS ONE
dealing with conservation planning and warming disturbances for coral
reefs.
The paper is fully available on PLoS ONE website:
http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0140828
or through my research gate profile:

Key advances for the study included:
1) setting explicit conservation objectives for reefs in different
temperature regimes that require a range of management options (marine
reserve types);
2) combining retrospective with prospective time-series information on
sea-surface temperature to delineate thermal-stress regimes; and
3) demonstrating a spatial prioritization that is framed by long-term
conservation objectives for situations in which temporally-static reserves
are more feasible than dynamic ones due to ease of implementation.
Apologies for any cross-posting.
Best,
