The growing number of artificial structures in estuarine, coastal and marine environments is
causing “ocean sprawl”. Artificial structures do not only modify marine and coastal …

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 …

A new type of fluorescent material is presented, which is called non‐conjugated polymer
dots (NCPDs). The NCPDs only possess sub‐fluorophores (which are groups such as C O …

Marine reserves are quickly gaining popularity as a management option for marine

It would not have been possible for me to write the three editions of this book without a
double dose of extraordinary fortune: to have been part of the Woods Hole scientific …

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 …

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 …

Outbreaks of crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster spp.) remain a major cause of coral
mortality in the Indo-Pacific, contributing to widespread and accelerating degradation of …

Studies in terrestrial systems suggest that long‐distance propagule dispersal is important for
landscape pattern and dynamics, but largely inconsequential for local demography. By …
