Larval dispersal is arguably the most important but least understood demographic process
in the sea. The likelihood of a larva dispersing from its birthplace to successfully recruit in …

Otoliths are bioinorganic minerals within the inner ear of all bony fishes. They grow
incrementally, laying down alternating protein-rich and mineral-rich bands daily …

Dispersal of planktonic larvae can create connections between geographically separated
adult populations of benthic marine animals. How geographic context and life history traits …

Seascape genetics is the study of how spatially variable structural and environmental
features influence genetic patterns of marine organisms. Seascape genetics is conceptually …

The persistence and resilience of marine populations in the face of disturbances is directly
affected by connectivity among populations. Thus, understanding the magnitude and pattern …

Connectivity is a central concept in ecology, wildlife management, and conservation
science. Understanding the role of connectivity in determining species persistence is …

Seventy-one per cent of the earth's surface is covered by ocean which contains almost 80%
of the world's phyla–“seascape genomics” is the study of how spatial dependence and …

Artificial light at night (ALAN) is increasingly recognised as a major threat to conservation,
causing physiological and behavioural impacts on species adapted to a predictable day …

The mechanisms that underpin the formation, growth and composition of otoliths, the
biomineralized stones in the inner ear of fish, are largely unknown, as only a few fish inner …

Most organisms reproduce in a dynamic environment, and life‐history theory predicts that
this can favor the evolution of strategies that capitalize on good times and avoid bad times …
