There are a variety of proposed evolutionary and ecological explanations for why some
species have more extensive geographical ranges than others. One of the most common …

Here we present a review of how the study of the geographic distribution of genetic lineages
(phylogeography) has helped identify management units, evolutionary significant units …

How coral reefs survive as oases of life in low-productivity oceans has puzzled scientists for
centuries. The answer may lie in internal nutrient cycling and/or input from the pelagic zone …

The pelagic larvae of many marine organisms can potentially disperse across hundreds of
kilometers, but whether oceanographic or behavioral mechanisms can constrain dispersal …

The spatial distribution of neutral genetic diversity is mainly influenced by barriers to
dispersal. The nature of such barriers varies according to the dispersal means and …

The effects of temperature on growth, pelagic larval duration (PLD) and maximum swimming
speed were compared in the tropical fish marine species Amphiprion melanopus, to …

Abstract The Northwestern Pacific has a unique tectonic and geographical history with
several marginal seas separating Asia from the Pacific Ocean. During low sea level periods …

We examine estimates of dispersal in a broad range of marine species through an analysis
of published values, and evaluate how well these values represent global patterns through a …

▪ Abstract We examine the genetics of marine diversification along the West Coast of North
America in relation to the Late Neogene geology and climate of the region. Trophically …

Dispersal of planktonic larvae can create connections between geographically separated
adult populations of benthic marine animals. How geographic context and life history traits …
