Marine broadcast spawners have two-phase life cycles, with pelagic larvae and benthic adults. Larval supply and settlement link these two phases and are crucial for the …
The global marine fish catch is approaching its upper limit. The number of overfished populations, as well as the indirect effects of fisheries on marine ecosystems, indicate that …
Population connectivity plays significant roles on both evolutionary and ecological time- scales; however, quantifying the magnitude and pattern of exchange between populations of …
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 …

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 …
Newly settled invertebrates usually are subject to high rates of mortality (Type 111 survivorship). Therefore, knowledge of early post-settlement events is critical in determ …
Comparing many species' population genetic patterns across the same seascape can identify species with different levels of structure, and suggest hypotheses about the …

Scientists rely on food webs—complex networks that trace the flow of nutrients and energy between species and through ecosystems—to understand the infrastructure of ecological …
Wind-driven coastal ocean upwelling supplies nutrients to the euphotic zone near the coast. Nutrients fuel the growth of phytoplankton, the base of a very productive coastal marine …
