Designing conservation networks requires a well-structured framework for achieving
essential objectives such as connectivity, replication or viability, and for considering local …

In the last few years, the exploitation of deep-sea regions for minerals extraction raised
international attention as an economically viable source for the mining industry. However …

Marine fronts are oceanographic drivers for marine species dispersal, especially for their
pelagic organisms like the larvae. Larvae can aggregate at the front and consequently have …

Numerical simulations of the ocean and atmosphere provide crucial information for climate
policies and socio-economic decisions. A coupled atmosphere–ocean model can potentially …

Oceanographic connectivity in an effective network of protected areas is crucial for restoring
and stabilising marine populations. However, temporal variability in connectivity is rarely …

Temporal variability of the genetic structure and connectivity patterns of the blue and red
shrimp Aristeus antennatus in the seven most important fishing grounds of the Western …

The larvae of many marine species are pelagic drifters in the vast oceans, yet they are the
first and, for sessile species, the only way to connect with other populations. Connectivity is …

Information on the buoyancy of eggs and larvae from deep-sea species is rare but
necessary for explaining the position of non-swimming larvae in the water column. Due to …

Deep-water shrimps remain some of the less understood decapod crustacean taxa, despite
the high commercial and ecological importance. The lack of knowledge on adults and larval …

The population biology of the deep-sea shrimp Aristeus antennatus, as with other exploited
demersal species, is usually studied using data from fishery statistics. Such statistical …
