Figure 5. Equilibrium harvest as a function of reserve width (in units of the dispersal distance or home-range size) and fraction of habitat in reserves for the long-lived species.

Figure 5

Panels to the left are for populations with sedentary adults and dispersing larvae, while panels to the right are for populations with mobile adults and non-dispersing larvae. For (a,b,c,d), it is assumed that the effort that had previously been in the reserves disappears at the time of reserve creation, while for (e,f,g,h) it is assumed that the total effort does not change before and after reserve creation. For (a,b,e,f), harvest effort distribution is uniform outside reserves, while for (c,d,g,h), it depends on local expected harvests and the value of γ is 1.2. The light blue area represents reserve configurations leading to a collapsed population and for (b,c,d,e,f,g,h) the dash-dotted grey line represents the border between persistence and collapse when harvester behavior and effort redistribution after reserve creation are both ignored. Harvest values shown are relative to the maximum value for the adult movement case when harvester behavior and effort redistribution after reserve creation are ignored.
