In coastal waters around the world, the dominant primary producers are benthic
macrophytes, including seagrasses and macroalgae, that provide habitat structure and food …

Long-distance dispersal (LDD) beyond the range of a species is an important driver of
ecological and evolutionary patterns, but insufficient attention has been given to …

Starting in 2011, coastal areas of the Caribbean Sea and tropical Atlantic Ocean began to
experience extraordinary yearly accumulations of pelagic Sargassum brown alga. Historical …

Since 2011, beach inundation of massive amounts of pelagic Sargassum algae has
occurred around the Caribbean nations and islands. Previous studies have applied satellite …

Gene flow governs the contemporary spatial structure and dynamic of populations as well as
their long-term evolution. For species that disperse using atmospheric or oceanic flows …

Dispersal provides a key mechanism for geographical range shifts in response to changing
environmental conditions. For mangroves, which are highly susceptible to climate change …

A mechanistic understanding of organismal movement provides context for existing
biogeographic and ecological patterns and improves our ability to predict changing patterns …

Ocean circulation driving macro-algal rafting is believed to serve as an important mode of
dispersal for many marine organisms, leading to predictions on population-level genetic …

Seagrasses, which are considered among the most ecologically valuable and endangered
coastal ecosystems, have a narrowly limited distribution in the south-east Pacific, where …

Dispersal is a fundamental ecological process, yet demonstrating the occurrence and
importance of long‐distance dispersal (LDD) remains difficult, having rarely been examined …
