  abstract = {{T}he global decline of coral reefs has led to calls for strategies that reconcile biodiversity conservation and fisheries benefits. {S}till, considerable gaps in our understanding of the spatial ecology of ecosystem services remain. {W}e combined spatial information on larval dispersal networks and estimates of human pressure to test the importance of connectivity for ecosystem service provision. {W}e found that reefs receiving larvae from highly connected dispersal corridors were associated with high fish species richness. {G}enerally, larval "sinks" contained twice as much fish biomass as "sources" and exhibited greater resilience to human pressure when protected. {D}espite their potential to support biodiversity persistence and sustainable fisheries, up to 70% of important dispersal corridors, sinks, and source reefs remain unprotected, emphasizing the need for increased protection of networks of well-connected reefs.},
