Geochemical signatures of early life stages are increasingly used to study population connectivity. This approach utilizes spatial variability in chemical signatures to predict natal …
The seed for New Zealand's US $150 million green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus) aquaculture industry is almost entirely supplied by harvesting wild early juveniles (spat). The …
Distinguishing individual natal origins of highly dispersive species is essential for quantifying the extent of connectivity among spatially separated groups. Variation in the …
Dispersing propagules (larvae, seeds, and spores) establish and maintain populations, which serve as templates for subsequent species interactions. Connectivity among demes …
The use of geochemical tags in calcified structures of fish and invertebrates is an exciting tool for investigating larval population connectivity. Tag evaluation over relatively short …
Trace elemental fingerprinting has been used to estimate population connectivity of marine species by using variations in the chemistry of shell produced in different water masses to …
Geochemical signatures deposited in otoliths are a potentially powerful means of identifying the origin and dispersal history of fish. However, current analytical methods for assigning …
Assessing population structure and connectivity of species that have cryptic life stages, such as sea turtles, is a challenge in conservation biology. The early oceanic stage of sea turtles …

In species with meroplanktonic larval phases, some reproductive traits (ie seasonality and larval behaviour) interact with hydrographic features to determine larval transport. This work …
