Marine protected areas (MPAs) are an area-based conservation strategy commonly used to
safeguard marine biodiversity and ecosystem services. Ecological connectivity governs the …

Demographic connectivity is a fundamental process influencing the dynamics and
persistence of spatially structured populations. Consequently, quantifying connectivity is …

Purpose Based on literature development, the purpose of this paper is to propose a
conceptual framework and the theoretical model in order to examine the influence of …

Significant changes have occurred in the well‐established partnership between fisheries
managers and geneticists over the last 50 years. It is therefore timely to review and …

Acceptance of marine protected areas (MPAs) as fishery and conservation tools has been
hampered by lack of direct evidence that MPAs successfully seed unprotected areas with …

Populations of fishes are increasingly threatened by over‐exploitation, pollution, habitat
destruction, and climate change. In order to better understand the factors that can explain …

Larval dispersal is a critically important yet enigmatic process in marine ecology, evolution,
and conservation. Determining the distance and direction that tiny larvae travel in the open …

Because of their high variability, microsatellites are still considered the marker of choice for
studies on parentage and kinship in wild populations. Nevertheless, single nucleotide …

We combine kinship estimates with traditional F‐statistics to explain contemporary drivers of
population genetic differentiation despite high gene flow. We investigate range‐wide …

The use of marine protected area (MPA) networks to sustain fisheries and conserve
biodiversity is predicated on two critical yet rarely tested assumptions. Individual MPAs must …
