Ecogeochemistry—the application of geochemical techniques to fundamental questions in
population and community ecology—has been used in animal migration studies in terrestrial …

Anthropogenic impacts have shifted aquatic ecosystems far from prehistoric baseline states;
yet, understanding these impacts is impeded by a lack of available long-term data that …

The potential for environmental and physiological modification of elemental incorporation in
otoliths is significant and must be validated before otoliths can be used reliably to estimate …

Biogeochemical tracers found in the hard parts of organisms are frequently used to answer
key ecological questions by linking the organism with the environment. However, the …

A better understanding of the stock structure of yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) in the
Indian Ocean is needed to ensure the sustainable management of the fishery. In this study …

The study of the morphological and chemical characteristics of otoliths have recently been
proposed as complementary tools for fish stock identification. However, their effectiveness …

Measuring connectivity in marine populations is a key, yet poorly understood issue. The
degree of connectivity determines the spatial scales over which population dynamics …

We compare vertebral microchemistry with previously described age-related movement
patterns of bull sharks Carcharhinus leucas and pig-eye sharks C. amboinensis within …

Little is understood about connectivity of deep-sea fish populations. Analysis of the
geochemical properties of fish otoliths is one way to draw inferences regarding their …

Otolith fingerprinting was used to test the hypotheses that estuarine systems are effective
juvenile habitats for Chaetodipterus faber in the Southwest Atlantic Ocean, and that this …
