Causes of decoupling between larval supply and settlement and consequences for understanding recruitment and population connectivity
Marine broadcast spawners have two-phase life cycles, with pelagic larvae and benthic
adults. Larval supply and settlement link these two phases and are crucial for the …

[BOOK][B] Allee effects in ecology and conservation
F Courchamp, L Berec, J Gascoigne - 2008 - books.google.com
Allee effects are (broadly) defined as a decline in individual fitness at low population size or
density. They can result in critical population thresholds below which populations crash to …

Important but ignored: Research progress on crab foraging behaviour and its implications for aquaculture
D Liu, B Zhu, X Liu, F Wang - Reviews in Aquaculture, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Crab fisheries play a crucial role in global fishery economics, but they heavily rely on wild

The elephant in the room: Introduced species also profit from refuge creation by artificial fish habitats
Increasingly, ecological rehabilitation is envisioned to mitigate and revert impacts of ocean

A conceptual framework for understanding thermal constraints on ectotherm activity with implications for predicting responses to global change
Activity budgets influence the expression of life history traits as well as population dynamics.
For ectotherms, a major constraint on activity is environmental temperature. Nonetheless, we …
