Ascidians as models for studying invasion success
During the past three decades, coastal marine waters have become among the most
invaded habitats globally. Ascidians are among the most notorious invaders in these …

When is dispersal for dispersal? Unifying marine and terrestrial perspectives
Recent syntheses on the evolutionary causes of dispersal have focused on dispersal as a
direct adaptation, but many traits that influence dispersal have other functions, raising the …

Animal behaviour shapes the ecological effects of ocean acidification and warming: moving from individual to community‐level responses
I Nagelkerken, PL Munday - Global Change Biology, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Biological communities are shaped by complex interactions between organisms and their
environment as well as interactions with other species. Humans are rapidly changing the …

Offspring size plasticity in response to intraspecific competition: an adaptive maternal effect across life-history stages
RM Allen, YM Buckley… - The American …, 2008 - journals.uchicago.edu
When provisioning offspring, mothers balance the benefits of producing a few large, fitter
offspring with the costs of decreased fecundity. The optimal balance between offspring size …

Causes of decoupling between larval supply and settlement and consequences for understanding recruitment and population connectivity
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 …

Search costs and habitat selection by dispersers
The effects of search costs on habitat selection by dispersers are largely unknown. We
explore how habitat selection behavior is affected by the risk of mortality en route and by …
