Journal ArticleDOI
Larval Dispersal and Marine Population Connectivity
Robert K. Cowen,Su Sponaugle +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence from direct and indirect approaches using geochemical and genetic techniques suggests that populations range from fully open to fully closed and a full understanding of population connectivity has important applications for management and conservation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scaling of Connectivity in Marine Populations
TL;DR: Using a high-resolution biophysical model for the Caribbean region, it is reported that typical larval dispersal distances are on the scale of only 10 to 100 kilometers for a variety of reef fish species and shows the importance of the early onset of active larval movement mediating the dispersal potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Connectivity of marine populations: open or closed?
TL;DR: Eulerian and Lagrangian flow models were used and the alternative process of larval retention near local populations is shown to exist and may be of great importance in the maintenance of marine population structure and management of coastal marine resources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Critical science gaps impede use of no-take fishery reserves
Peter F. Sale,Robert K. Cowen,Bret S. Danilowicz,Geoffrey P. Jones,Jacob P. Kritzer,Kenyon C. Lindeman,Serge Planes,Nicholas Polunin,Garry R. Russ,Yvonne Sadovy,Robert S. Steneck +10 more
TL;DR: The science is reviewed, the most crucial gaps are identified, and ways to fill them are suggested so that a promising management tool can help meet the growing challenges faced by coastal marine fisheries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population connectivity in marine systems : an overview
TL;DR: The Oceanography 20, 3, 3 (2007): 14-21 as mentioned in this paper is the most cited work in the field of oceanography, and is published by the Oceanography Society.
