Climate change is impacting coral reefs now. Recent pan-tropical bleaching events driven
by unprecedented global heat waves have shifted the playing field for coral reef …

Allee effects, strongly related to the extinction vulnerability of populations and gradually
becoming acknowledged by both theoretically oriented and applied ecologists, have already …

Allee effects are (broadly) defined as a decline in individual fitness at low population size or
density. They can result in critical population thresholds below which populations crash to …

Understanding the dynamics of small populations is obviously important for declining or rare
species but is also particularly important for invading species. The Allee effect, where fitness …

Our limited intuition of the small‐scale world of the plankton has biased the way we describe
and understand ocean ecology. Classical approaches consider fluxes of energy and matter …

When individual animals make decisions, they routinely use information produced
intentionally or unintentionally by other individuals. Despite its prevalence and established …

We review interactions between extrinsic threats to marine fishes and intrinsic aspects of
their biology that determine how populations and species respond to those threats …

Many nearshore fish and invertebrate populations are overexploited even when apparently
coherent management structures are in place. One potential cause of mismanagement may …

In many coastal areas, marine ecosystems have shifted into contrasting states having
reduced ecosystem services (hereafter called degraded). Such degraded ecosystems may …

In this paper, we review mate-finding Allee effects from ecological and evolutionary points of
view. We define 'mate-finding'as mate searching in mobile animals, and also as the meeting …
