Dispersal of benthic species in the sea is mediated primarily through small, vulnerable
larvae that must survive minutes to months as members of the plankton community while …

The utility of marine protected areas (MPAs) as a means of protecting exploited species and
conserving biodiversity within MPA boundaries is supported by strong empirical evidence …

Research into marine population connectivity (MPC)—the rate of transfer of organisms
between locations—is important for our understanding of how marine systems operate as …

Worldwide bivalve aquaculture is expanding rapidly. Simultaneously, there has been a loss
of natural bivalve reefs due to anthropogenic activities. As bivalve reefs support several …

Abstract The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the strongest source of interannual
global climate variability, and extreme ENSO events are projected to increase in frequency …

The global exhaustion of marine fishery resources has triggered worldwide demands for
sustainable utilization of marine resources and Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) …

ABSTRACT Common Diving Petrels (Pelecanoides urinatrix urinatrix) are distributed widely
around coastal New Zealand and breed primarily on predator-free offshore islands. Despite …

Jellyfish behavior and physiology significantly influence spatial distribution and
aggregations in the marine environment. However, current models used to study these …

Several recent high intensity ENSO events have caused strong negative impacts on the
adult phases of foundational species in coral reef ecosystems, but comparatively little is …

Many demersal marine fish species depend on a dispersive larval stage that connects
geographically discrete sub‐populations. Understanding connectivity between these sub …
