Genetic structuring of the temperate gorgonian coral (Corallium rubrum) across the western Mediterranean Sea revealed by microsatellites and nuclear sequences
In the past decades, anthropogenic disturbance has increased in marine costal habitats,
leading to dramatic shifts in population size structure of various marine species. In the …

Spatial and temporal patterns of larval dispersal in a coral‐reef fish metapopulation: evidence of variable reproductive success
Many marine organisms can be transported hundreds of kilometres during their pelagic
larval stage, yet little is known about spatial and temporal patterns of larval dispersal …
