Nearshore‐structured habitats—including underwater grasses, mangroves, coral, and other
biogenic reefs, marshes, and complex abiotic substrates—have long been postulated to …

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 …

Larvae have been difficult to study because their small size limits our ability to understand
their behavior and the conditions they experience. Questions about larval transport focus …

A critical link missing from our understanding of the nursery role of specific marine habitats is
the evidence of connectivity between juvenile and adult habitats. This paper reviews and …

▪ Abstract The movement of individuals defines a spatial neighborhood that can help
determine marine management strategies. Here, I briefly review four fields of marine biology …

We examined the nursery role of salt marshes for transient nekton by searching the literature
for data on density, growth, and survival of juvenile fishes and decapod crustaceans in …

The concentrations of elements and isotopes in fish otoliths may provide a method of
reconstructing movements of fish by differentiating between water bodies of different …

Coral Reef Fishes is the successor of The Ecology of Fishes on Coral Reefs. This new
edition includes provocative reviews covering the major areas of reef fish ecology. Concerns …

Many marine species have a multi-phase ontogeny, with each phase usually associated
with a spatially and temporally discrete set of movements. For many fish and decapod …
