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 …

Our central paradigm for urban ecology is that cities are emergent phenomena of local-
scale, dynamic interactions among socioeconomic and biophysical forces. These complex …

With the desire to model population genetic processes under increasingly realistic
scenarios, forward genetic simulations have become a critical part of the toolbox of modern …

Trophic cascades—the top-down regulation of ecosystems by predators—are an essential
aspect of ecosystem function and well-being. Trophic cascades are often drastically …

Humans have continuously interacted with natural systems, resulting in the formation and
development of coupled human and natural systems (CHANS). Recent studies reveal the …

We present the first synthesis of the life history and ecology of seahorses, compare
relationships for seahorses with other marine teleosts and identify research needs …

The theory of r‐and K‐selection was one of the first predictive models for life‐history
evolution. It helped to galvanize the empirical field of comparative life‐history and dominated …

Life history theories attempt to explain the evolution of organism traits as adaptations to
environmental variation. A model involving three primary life history strategies (endpoints on …

The extent of larval dispersal on coral reefs has important implications for the persistence of
coral reef metapopulations, their resilience and recovery from an increasing array of threats …

Population ecology has matured to a sophisticated science with astonishing potential for
contributing solutions to wildlife conservation and management challenges. And yet, much …
