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 …

The importance of dispersal rates and distances has long been appreciated by ecologists
and evolutionary biologists. An emerging field of research is revealing how temporal …

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

Global warming and increased atmospheric CO2 are causing the oceans to warm, decrease
in pH and become hypercapnic. These stressors have deleterious impacts on marine …

Scientific and societal unknowns make it difficult to predict how global environmental
changes such as climate change and biological invasions will affect ecological systems. In …

Aim Shifts in species ranges are a predicted and realized effect of global climate change;
however, few studies have addressed the rates and consequence of such shifts, particularly …

I present dispersal distances for 44 species with data on propagule duration (PD) for 40 of
these. Data were combined with those in Shanks et al.(2003; Ecol. Appl. 13: S159–S169) …

Approximately 1,000 volunteers assessed the presence of invasive (Carcinus maenas and
Hemigrapsus sanguineus) and native crabs within the intertidal zone of seven coastal states …

The earth is in the midst of a biodiversity crisis, and projections indicate continuing and
accelerating rates of global changes. Future alterations in communities and ecosystems may …

Climate change is threatening tropical reefs across the world, with most scientists agreeing
that the current changes in climate conditions are occurring at a much faster rate than in the …
