PISCO: Science of Marine Reserves: Meta-analysis: Global synthesis

This metadata record documents a meta-analysis study synthesizing all peer-reviewed publications (published through 2006) measuring biological variables (numerical density/abundance, biomass, individual size, species richness) inside and outside of reserves and/or before and after reserve implementation. Some of the results from this global synthesis are presented in the Science of Marine Reserves publication, and more detailed results and explanation can be found in the following manuscript: Lester, S. E., B. S. Halpern, K. Grorud-Colvert, J. Lubchenco, B. I. Ruttenberg, S. D. Gaines, S. Airame and R. R. Warner. In review. Biological effects within no-take marine reserves: a global synthesis.
