Long-distance wind-dispersal of spores in a fungal plant pathogen: estimation of anisotropic dispersal kernels from an extensive field experiment

A Rieux, S Soubeyrand, F Bonnot, EK Klein… - PloS one, 2014 - journals.plos.org
Given its biological significance, determining the dispersal kernel (ie, the distribution of
dispersal distances) of spore-producing pathogens is essential. Here, we report two field …

Tropical and temperate freshwater amphidromy: a comparison between life history characteristics of Sicydiinae, ayu, sculpins and galaxiids

S Watanabe, M Iida, C Lord, P Keith… - Reviews in Fish Biology …, 2014 - Springer
Amphidromy is a distinctive form of diadromy, but differences in the life histories of tropical
and temperate amphidromous fishes suggest that there are two types of freshwater …

Climate change impacts on connectivity in the ocean: Implications for conservation

LR Gerber, MDM Mancha-Cisneros, MI O'connor… - …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Effective spatial management in the ocean requires a network of conservation areas that are
connected by larval and adult dispersal. We propose a conceptual framework for including …

Oceanographic and behavioural assumptions in models of the fate of coral and coral reef fish larvae

E Wolanski, MJ Kingsford - Journal of The Royal Society …, 2014 - royalsocietypublishing.org
A predictive model of the fate of coral reef fish larvae in a reef system is proposed that
combines the oceanographic processes of advection and turbulent diffusion with the …

Dispersal potential and population genetic structure in the marine intertidal of the eastern North Pacific

MN Dawson, CG Hays, RK Grosberg… - Ecological …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Population genetic theory and empirical comparisons of sister and sympatric marine species
show that life history traits related to dispersal, such as pelagic duration (PD), should affect …

Ocean circulation model predicts high genetic structure observed in a long‐lived pelagic developer

JM Sunday, I Popovic, WJ Palen… - Molecular …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Understanding the movement of genes and individuals across marine seascapes is a long‐

The use of early life stages in stock identification studies

JA Hare, DE Richardson - Stock Identification Methods, 2014 - Elsevier
Egg, larval, and juvenile stages are useful in identifying stocks. Primarily, early life stages
are used to distinguish spawning locations from which stock structure is inferred …

Larval dispersal drives trophic structure across Pacific coral reefs

AC Stier, AM Hein, V Parravicini, M Kulbicki - Nature Communications, 2014 - nature.com
Top predators are a critical part of healthy ecosystems. Yet, these species are often absent
from spatially isolated habitats leading to the pervasive view that fragmented ecological …
