Mesoscale phenomena are ubiquitous and highly energetic features of ocean circulation.
Their influence on biological and biogeochemical processes varies widely, stemming not …

Neritic fronts are very abundant in austral South America, covering several scales of space
and time. However, this region is poorly studied from a systemic point of view. Our main goal …

The story of this edition is a testament to an almost legendary gure in theoretical ecology
and to the in uence his work and charisma has had on the eld. It is also a story that can only …

Most marine populations are thought to be well connected via long-distance dispersal of
larval stages. Eulerian and Lagrangian flow models, coupled with linear mortality estimates …

Most intertidal and benthic subtidal invertebrates and fish produce planktonic larvae. This
chapter presents more or less accepted or documented mechanisms of larval dispersal and …

During the last 30 years, at-sea studies of seabirds and marine mammals in the oceans
south of the Subtropical Front have described an association with major frontal areas. More …

Aggregations of zooplankton, micronekton and fish are frequently observed above
seamounts, canyons and shelf breaks. The aggregations are produced by five different …

An original difficulty in accepting the idea of a pelagic diwelopmental period for sea turtles
was to explain bow food could be found in reliable supply in the open ocean The uncertainty …

Mounting evidence suggests that some populations of benthic marine organisms may be
less demographically'open'than previously thought. The degree to which a population …

All reserve designs must be guided by an understanding of natural history and habitat
variability. 2. Differences in scale and predictability set aside highly dynamic pelagic …
