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 …

Coral reefs in shallow-water environments (< 30 m) are in decline due to local and global
anthropogenic stresses. This has led to renewed interest in the 'deep reef refugia'hypothesis …

Diseases are major drivers of the deterioration of coral reefs and are linked to major
declines in coral abundance, reef functionality, and reef-related ecosystems services. An …

Active coral restoration typically involves two interventions: crossing gametes to facilitate
sexual larval propagation; and fragmenting, growing, and outplanting adult colonies to …

Marine provinces, founded on contrasting floras or faunas, have been recognized for more
than 150 years but were not consistently defined by endemism until 1974. At that time …

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 …

Abstract The Humboldt Current System (HCS) is one of the most productive marine
ecosystems on earth. It extends along the west coast of South America from southern Chile …

Coral reef restoration has gained recent popularity in response to the steady decline of
corals and the recognition that coral reefs may not be able to recover naturally without …

Aim To understand why and when areas of endemism (provinces) of the tropical Atlantic
Ocean were formed, how they relate to each other, and what processes have contributed to …

The extent of larval dispersal on coral reefs has important implications for the persistence of
coral reef metapopulations, their resilience and recovery from an increasing array of threats …
