Most invertebrates in the ocean begin their lives with planktonic larval phases that are
critical for dispersal and distribution of these species. Larvae are particularly vulnerable to …

Understanding how habitat attributes (eg, patch area and sizes, connectivity) control
recruitment and how this is modified by processes operating at larger spatial scales is …

Abstract Knowledge of functional dispersal barriers in the marine environment can be used
to inform a wide variety of management actions, such as marine spatial planning, restoration …

Although position within the estuarine landscape is known to influence structural
characteristics and ecological functioning of many habitats, the influence of position on …

Phenotypic plasticity can improve an organism's fitness when exposed to novel
environmental conditions or stress associated with climate change. Our study analyzed …

As efforts for restoring Olympia oyster Ostrea lurida populations have expanded, there is an
increased need to understand local factors that could influence the long-term success of …

The blackfoot pāua, Haliotis iris Gmelin 1791 is one of three endemic species of abalone

The Coos Estuary, is the second largest estuary in Oregon in terms of area and volume, after
the Columbia River Estuary, with extensive tidal flats and subsidiary sloughs. Estuaries, like …

Biophysical models have become the 'go-to'tool for predicting the dispersive trajectories of
planktic marine organisms, and are used to design Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), identify …
