Detailed knowledge on connectivity, ie the exchange of marine organisms among
geographically separated populations, is essential for effective marine spatial planning …

Spiny lobster species are ecologically important and highly prized as seafood globally.
Populations of spiny lobsters have been impacted by overfishing, the harvesting of juveniles …

Zooplankton plays an essential role in marine ecosystems as the link between primary
producers (phytoplankton) and higher trophic levels in food webs, and as a dynamic pool of …

Estimates of population structure and gene flow allow exploring the historical and
contemporary processes that determine a species' biogeographic pattern. In mangroves …

The knowledge gap on the early life-history of sea turtles during the “lost years” continues to
hinder research and conservation of this critical life stage when mortality rates are the …

This study is the first large‐scale genetic population study of a widespread climax species of
seagrass, Thalassia hemprichii, in the Western Indian Ocean (WIO). The aim was to …

Submesoscale structures, characterized by intense vertical and horizontal velocities,
potentially play a crucial role in oceanographic dynamics and pelagic fluxes. Due to their …

Background Evolutionary divergence and speciation often occur at a slower rate in the
marine realm due to the higher potential for long-distance reproductive interaction through …

The emergence of high resolution population genetic techniques, such as genotyping-by-
sequencing (GBS), in combination with recent advances in particle modelling of larval …

While there is now strong evidence that many factors can shape dispersal, the mechanisms
influencing connectivity patterns are species‐specific and remain largely unknown for many …
