Connectivity, or the exchange of individuals among marine populations, is a central topic in
marine ecology. For most benthic marine species with complex life cycles, this exchange …

Larvae have been difficult to study because their small size limits our ability to understand
their behavior and the conditions they experience. Questions about larval transport focus …

Molluscs comprise the second largest phylum of animals (after arthropods), occurring in
virtually all habitats. Some are commercially important, a few are pests and some carry …

" There are more coral species in deep, cold-waters than in tropical coral reefs. This broad-
ranging treatment is the first to synthesise current understanding of all types of cold-water …

The ranges of many tropical marine species overlap in a centre of maximum marine
biodiversity, which is located in the Indo-Malayan region. Because this centre includes …

Comparing many species' population genetic patterns across the same seascape can
identify species with different levels of structure, and suggest hypotheses about the …

Marine recreational fishing (MRF) is a popular activity that involves millions of people
worldwide. While the impacts of recreational fishing on freshwater ecosystems received …

Marine species frequently show weak and/or complex genetic structuring that is commonly
dismissed as 'chaotic'genetic patchiness and ecologically uninformative. Here, using three …

The movements of larvae between marine populations are difficult to follow directly and
have been the subject of much controversy, especially in the Caribbean. The debate centres …

We examine estimates of dispersal in a broad range of marine species through an analysis
of published values, and evaluate how well these values represent global patterns through a …
