The shallow distribution of Panulirus spiny lobsters makes them especially vulnerable to
overexploitation and their coastal habitats to the synergistic effects of multiple environmental …

Long-term movements of adult marine animals predicate spatial management measures.
Sea cucumbers are intensely exploited worldwide, yet few studies have assessed their long …

Ontogenetic changes in the behavior, spatial distribution, or habitat use of a species are
presumably adaptations to ecological forces that differ in their effect on various life stages …

Based upon papers presented at the Ninth Conference on Artificial Reefs and Artificial
Habitats (CARAH), this reference offers a timely compilation of information to increase …

Release of hatchery‐reared lobsters is often suggested for enhancing recruitment‐limited
populations. Because of lack of ecological considerations ahead of the releases and the …

The literature on late-stage larval and puerulus settlement of tropical spiny lobsters suggests
that a broad range of visually-assessed variables may play a role in the selection of …

In temperate habitats, predation by lobsters creates trophic cascades that reverberate
through benthic communities. However, the influence of lobsters on tropical benthic …

Caribbean coral reefs are undergoing massive degradation, with local increases of
macroalgae and reduction of architectural complexity associated with loss of reef-building …

ABSTRACT A composite of the phylogenetic relationships of the species of Panulirus, based
on morphol ical and genetic comparisons is presented. Data on the timing of the longitudinal …

To evaluate the suitability of using coded microwire tags (CWTs) to mark early-benthic-stage
Caribbean spiny lobster, Panulirus argus, we compared the survival, growth, and feeding of …
