Recent syntheses on the evolutionary causes of dispersal have focused on dispersal as a
direct adaptation, but many traits that influence dispersal have other functions, raising the …

A substantial shift toward use of marine protected areas (MPAs) for conservation and
fisheries management is currently underway. This shift to explicit spatial management …

Substantial interannual variability in marine fish recruitment (ie, the number of young fish
entering a fishery each year) has been hypothesized to be related to whether the timing of …

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) …

Population connectivity plays significant roles on both evolutionary and ecological time-
scales; however, quantifying the magnitude and pattern of exchange between populations of …

Comparing many species' population genetic patterns across the same seascape can
identify species with different levels of structure, and suggest hypotheses about the …

Octopuses of the family Octopodidae adopt two major life-history strategies. The rst is the
production of relatively few, large eggs resulting in well-developed hatchlings that resemble …

We combine kinship estimates with traditional F‐statistics to explain contemporary drivers of
population genetic differentiation despite high gene flow. We investigate range‐wide …

Biophysical models are being used increasingly, both as predictive tools of larval dispersal
for a particular system and for general evaluation of the role of different factors in larval …

Larval supply affects the structure of marine communities. Cross-shelf transport of larvae by
upwelling and downwelling may cause variation in larval supply. We tested the hypothesis …
