Territorial defense by breeders influences access to resources near defended nest sites by
intruder species and may have indirect effects on other species within the territory, leading to …

En este estudio, la estructura de la población del ronco blanco (Haemulon plumieri) de la
costa norte de la Península de Yucatán fue determinada a través del análisis de la forma del …

For organisms with complex life cycles, the transition between life stages can act as a
significant demographic and selective bottleneck. Variation in developmental and growth …

Dispersal in marine systems is a critical component of the ecology, evolution, and
conservation of such systems; however, estimating dispersal is logistically difficult …

The analysis of genetic similarities among marine populations is a key method for use in
connectivity studies intended to provide information for management strategies. The present …

There is a critical need to understand patterns and causes of intraspecific variation in
physiological performance in order to predict the distribution and dynamics of wild …

Ten polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated from the Atlantic Silverside (Menidia
menidia) in order to test hypotheses regarding the role of adaptive phenotypic variation in …

Processes that influence the early life stages of fishes can significantly impact population
dynamics, yet they continue to be poorly understood. This dissertation examined …

In this study, the population structure of the white grunt (Haemulon plumieri) from the
northern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula was determined through an otolith shape analysis …

Whether a species will flourish or face extinction under a new climate regime is largely
determined by its dispersal ability, its adaptive capacity or some combination of these …
