Aim Connectivity structures populations, communities and ecosystems in the sea. The extent
of connectivity is, therefore, predicted to also influence the outcomes of conservation …

Abstract Knowledge of the population biology, life-history ecology and scales of pre and post-
settlement movement of marine species are needed to inform effective conservation …

Estuaries and other coastal habitats are considered essential for the survival of early life
stages of commercial, recreational, and other ecologically important species. While early …

Connectivity between estuarine and coastal populations is poorly understood but
fundamental to the study of population dynamics, as well as the design of effective …

Chronological variation in otolith chemistry can be used to reconstruct migration histories of
fish. The use of otolith chemistry to study migration, however, requires knowledge of …

While estuaries are considered valuable nurseries for many harvested fish species, little
quantitative data exist about the spatial scales over which estuaries supply individuals to …

A better understanding of the stock structure of yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) in the
Indian Ocean is needed to ensure the sustainable management of the fishery. In this study …

This study investigated the contributions of five putative nursery areas, namely four coastal
lagoons and the marine coastal zone, to the local offshore fishery of the gilthead sea bream …

Otolith elemental signatures (Li: Ca, Mg: Ca, Mn: Ca, Cu: Ca, Sr: Ca, Ba: Ca and Pb: Ca) of
Age-0 juveniles of flounder Platichthys flesus and sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax, collected …

Processes regulating population connectivity are complex, ranging from extrinsic
environmental factors to intrinsic individual based features, and are a major force shaping …
