The pelagic environment is characterized by unevenly distributed resources and risks. Such
unpredictability presents adaptive challenges to diverse planktonic organisms including the …

Spawning migrations are an important life-history event for many species of commercially
important tropical reef fishes and decapod crustaceans. Spawning aggregations are highly …

The relative roles of competition and predation in demographic density dependence are
poorly known. A tractable experimental design to determine such effects and their …

Zooplankton reside in a constantly flowing environment. However, information about their
response to ambient flow has remained elusive, because of the difficulties of following the …

Ecosystem-based management on coral reefs has historically focused on biodiversity
conservation through the establishment of marine reserves, but it is increasingly recognised …

Plankton-fish interactions are the central topic of interest related to marine ecology. Apart
from the direct predation (lethal effect) of zooplankton by fish, there are some non-lethal …

Artificial reefs continue to be deployed in coastal areas to enhance local fisheries. An
important factor influencing the success of artificial reefs may be the provision of refuge for …

The eastern tropical Pacific (ETP) is an isolated oceanic region exposed to extreme
oceanographic conditions, including low salinity, low pH, high temperatures during El Niño …

The interplay of phytoplankton, zooplankton, and fish is one of the most important aspects of
the aquatic environment. In this paper, we propose to explore the dynamics of a …

Abstract Changes in the near-bottom abundance of zooplankton on scales of centimeters to
meters and hours to seasons are of great importance to corals and other benthic …
