Connectivity, or the exchange of individuals among marine populations, is a central topic in
marine ecology. For most benthic marine species with complex life cycles, this exchange …

Climate change will impact coral‐reef fishes through effects on individual performance,
trophic linkages, recruitment dynamics, population connectivity and other ecosystem …

Early in the 20th century, Johan Hjort developed compelling arguments and hypotheses to
explain recruitment variability that became dominant for more than 75 years. A cautious …

Larval transport is defined as the horizontal translocation of a larva between points x1, y1
and x2, y2, where x and y are horizontal axes, say, perpendicular and parallel to the …

Fish is a mainstay of food security for Pacific island countries and territories (PICTs). Recent
household income and expenditure surveys, and socio-economic surveys, demonstrate that …

THERE IS GROWING consensus that life within the world's ocean is under considerable and
increasing stress from human activities (Hutchings, 2000; Jackson et al., 2001). This …

Mounting evidence suggests that some populations of benthic marine organisms may be
less demographically'open'than previously thought. The degree to which a population …

The utility of no‐take marine reserves as fisheries‐management tools is controversial. It is
hypothesized that marine reserves will help to sustain fisheries external to them by …

A pelagic larval stage is found in nearly all demersal marine teleost fishes, and it is during
this pelagic stage that the geographic scale of dispersal is determined. Marine biologists …

This review assesses and predicts the impacts that rapid climate change will have on
population connectivity in coral reef ecosystems, using fishes as a model group. Increased …
