Internal waves are widespread features of global oceans that play critical roles in mixing and
thermohaline circulation. Similarly to surface waves, internal waves can travel long …

Broadcast spawning invertebrates offer highly tractable models for evaluating sperm
competition, gamete-level mate choice and sexual conflict. By displaying the ancestral …

Female reproductive fluids (FRFs) serve key reproductive functions in sexually reproducing
animals, including modifying the way sperm swim and detect eggs, and influencing sperm …

The presence of doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI) in bivalves represents a unique mode
of mitochondrial transmission, whereby paternal (male-transmitted M-type) and maternal …

Efficient and targeted sperm motility is essential for animal reproductive success. Sperm
from mammals and echinoderms utilize a highly conserved signaling mechanism in which …

Marine animals with complex life cycles may move passively or actively for fertilization,
dispersal, predator avoidance, resource acquisition, and migration, and over scales from …

Plants and animals interact with each other and their surroundings, and these interactions—
with all their complexity and contingency—control where species can survive and …

We investigated how density and aggregation influence crown-of-thorns starfish Acanthaster
planci reproductive success, using an empirically-tuned, individual-based simulation model …

Hydrodynamic signals from turbulence and waves may provide marine invertebrate larvae
with behavioral cues that affect the pathways and energetic costs of larval delivery to adult …

Rarity is a population characteristic that is usually associated with a high risk of extinction.
We argue here, however, that chronically rare species (those with low population densities …
