Upwelling bays: How coastal upwelling controls circulation, habitat, and productivity in bays
JL Largier - Annual Review of Marine Science, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Bays in coastal upwelling regions are physically driven and biochemically fueled by their
interaction with open coastal waters. Wind-driven flow over the shelf imposes a circulation in …

Corridors and barriers to marine connectivity around southern Africa
Detailed knowledge on connectivity, ie the exchange of marine organisms among
geographically separated populations, is essential for effective marine spatial planning …

Surface slicks are pelagic nurseries for diverse ocean fauna
Most marine animals have a pelagic larval phase that develops in the coastal or open
ocean. The fate of larvae has profound effects on replenishment of marine populations that …

Ecogenomics and cultivation reveal distinctive viral-bacterial communities in the surface microlayer of a Baltic Sea slick
Visible surface films, termed slicks, can extensively cover freshwater and marine
ecosystems, with coastal regions being particularly susceptible to their presence. The sea …

Sea-surface slicks and their effect on the concentration of plastics and zooplankton in the coastal waters of Rapa Nui (Easter Island)
The abundance and distribution of plastic debris at the sea surface shows considerable
variability over different spatial scales. Some of the oceanographic processes at small (< 1 …

Larval fish assemblage structure at coastal fronts and the influence of environmental variability
Within the coastal zone, oceanographic features, such as fronts, can have major effects on
the abundance and distribution of larval fish. We investigated the effects of fronts on larval …
