Demographic connectivity is a fundamental process influencing the dynamics and
persistence of spatially structured populations. Consequently, quantifying connectivity is …

Molecular tools and analyses have played pivotal roles in uncovering the processes and
patterns of biodiversity in the Indian and Pacific oceans. However, integrating genetic results …

The earth is in the midst of a biodiversity crisis, and projections indicate continuing and
accelerating rates of global changes. Future alterations in communities and ecosystems may …

We combine kinship estimates with traditional F‐statistics to explain contemporary drivers of
population genetic differentiation despite high gene flow. We investigate range‐wide …

Larval dispersal by ocean currents is a critical component of systematic marine protected
area (MPA) design. However, there is a lack of quantitative methods to incorporate larval …

Dispersal is a key process in metacommunity dynamics, allowing the maintenance of
diversity in complex community networks. Geographic distance is usually used as a …

Aim Assessing the spatial structure and dynamics of marine populations is still a major
challenge in ecology. The need to manage marine resources from ecosystem and large …

Dispersal of benthic species in the sea is mediated primarily through small, vulnerable
larvae that must survive minutes to months as members of the plankton community while …

Which populations are replenished primarily by immigrants (open) and which by local
production (closed) remains an important question for management with implications for …

Background Larval connectivity between distinct benthic populations is essential for their
persistence. Although connectivity is difficult to measure in situ, it can be predicted via …
