THERE IS GROWING consensus that life within the world's ocean is under considerable and
increasing stress from human activities (Hutchings, 2000; Jackson et al., 2001). This …

This review discusses the major factors producing spatial and temporal patterns in
abundance and the structure of reef fish populations in north‐eastern New Zealand. It also …

Abstract During 2014–2016, severe marine heatwaves in the northeast Pacific triggered well-
documented disturbances including mass mortalities, harmful algal blooms, and declines in …

Defining the scale of connectivity, or exchange, among marine populations and determining
the factors driving this exchange are pivotal to our understanding of the population …

Most marine populations are thought to be well connected via long-distance dispersal of
larval stages. Eulerian and Lagrangian flow models, coupled with linear mortality estimates …

Multiscale patterns of spatial and temporal variation in density and population structure were
used to evaluate the generality of a three—trophic—level cascade among sea otters …

Numerous groundfish stocks in both the Atlantic and Pacific are considered overfished,
resulting in large-scale fishery closures. Fishing, in addition to simply removing biomass …

This book breaks new ground with the integration of geography, oceanography, plankton
and benthic biology, as well as fish, to present a comprehensive account of the ecology of …

The intensity of human pressure on marine systems has led to a push for stronger marine
conservation efforts. Recently, marine reserves have become one highly advocated form of …

The detection of trends in ecosystems depends upon (1) a good description of the
foundation or benchmark against which changes are measured and (2) a distinction …
