We examine the impact of spatial processes on the efficacy of restocking in species with
varying forms of population or metapopulation structure. Metapopulations are classified …

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 …

Determination of larval dispersal distances and larval origins is a central challenge in
contemporary marine ecology. In this work, the larval dispersal problem is discussed from …

Patterns of climate‐forced range shift in the marine environment are informed by
investigating the population dynamics of an ecologically important sea urchin …

Marine biologists have shown virtually unqualified support for managing fisheries with
marine reserves, signifying a new resource management paradigm that recognizes the …

Efforts to understand the population dynamics of marine species with planktonic larvae have
been stymied by the fact that the larvae recruiting to a location have little chance of …

The scales of population structure in marine species depend on the degree to which larvae
from different populations are mixed in the plankton. There is an intriguing trend in marine …

Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the critical effects of variability in the spatial and
temporal components of larval dispersal on population fluctuations of meroplanktonic …

As a consequence of free spawning in the unpredictable nearshore environment, marine
species with large fecundities and high pre‐reproductive mortality may be subject to extreme …
