Connectivity, the exchange of individuals among locations, is a fundamental ecological
process that explains how otherwise disparate populations interact. For most marine …

Connectivity among marine populations plays a fundamental role in the dynamic of
metapopulations and communities. Moreover, genetic connectivity is important for the …

The atmosphere drives entire ocean motions, and yet the exchange of momentum between
the atmosphere and ocean occurs in the thin layer where they meet, involving the smallest …

The localized scale of most fisheries management does not account for potential regional
connectivity, particularly for fish species with prolonged planktonic larval durations (PLD) …

Many coral reef populations exist as discrete habitat patches linked through larval dispersal
into a larger network. On these reefs, organisms spawn periodically and release propagules …

Variability in environmental conditions and ocean currents can influence population
connectivity and the exchange of larvae among locations. This is especially true for species …

Abstract Lagrangian Flow Network (LFN) is a modelling framework in which ocean sub-
areas are represented as nodes in a network interconnected by links representing transport …

Many fundamental questions in marine ecology require an understanding of larval dispersal
and connectivity, yet direct observations of larval trajectories are difficult or impossible to …

As humans expand into natural environments, populations of wild organisms may become
relegated to marginal habitats at the boundaries of their distributions. In the ocean …

Computing Lagrangian trajectories with ocean circulation models is a powerful way to infer
larval dispersal pathways and connectivity. Defining release areas and timing of particles to …
