Well‐designed and effectively managed networks of marine reserves can be effective tools
for both fisheries management and biodiversity conservation. Connectivity, the demographic …

Climate change is impacting coral reefs now. Recent pan-tropical bleaching events driven
by unprecedented global heat waves have shifted the playing field for coral reef …

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 …

Marine protected areas (MPAs) that exclude fishing have been shown repeatedly to
enhance the abundance, size, and diversity of species. These benefits, however, mean little …

Connectivity is a vital component of metapopulation and landscape ecology, influencing
fundamental processes such as population dynamics, evolution, and community responses …

By providing new approaches to the investigation of demographic and evolutionary
dynamics of wild populations, molecular genetics has led to fundamental changes in our …

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 …

Overfishing and habitat destruction due to local and global threats are undermining
fisheries, biodiversity, and the long-term sustainability of tropical marine ecosystems …

Networks of no-take reserves are important for protecting coral reef biodiversity from climate
change and other human impacts. Ensuring that reserve populations are connected to each …

Abstract Design and decision-making for marine protected areas (MPAs) on coral reefs
require prediction of MPA effects with population models. Modeling of MPAs has shown how …
