Predator-derived bioregions in the Southern Ocean: Characteristics, drivers and representation in marine protected areas
Multiple initiatives have called for large-scale representative networks of marine protected areas (MPAs). MPAs should be ecologically representative to be effective, but in large, remote regions this can be difficult to quantify and assess. We present a novel bioregionalization for the Southern Oce...

Multiple initiatives have called for large-scale representative networks of marine protected areas (MPAs).

The habitat-use of these predators indicates biodiversity patterns that require representation in Southern Ocean conservation and management planning. In the predator habitat importance predictions, we identified 17 statistical clusters, falling into four larger groups.
