Journal ArticleDOI
Biological Effects Within No-Take Marine Reserves: A global Synthesis
Sarah E. Lester,Benjamin S. Halpern,Kirsten Grorud-Colvert,Jane Lubchenco,Benjamin I. Ruttenberg,Steven D. Gaines,Satie Airamé,Robert R. Warner +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that reserve characteristics and context play key roles in determining the direction and magnitude of the reserve response, validating the potential for well designed and enforced reserves to serve as globally important conservation and management tools.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recruitment dynamics in complex life cycles
TL;DR: These findings illustrate how processes in different ecological habitats are coupled and models combining larval circulation with adult interactions can potentially forecast population fluctuations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Propagule dispersal in marine and terrestrial environments: a community perspective
Brian P. Kinlan,Steven D. Gaines +1 more
TL;DR: The results validate some long-standing views about the greater dispersal potential of species in the ocean, but also highlight the extreme heterogeneity in dispersal scale among marine species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological and evolutionary insights from species invasions
Dov F. Sax,John J. Stachowicz,James H. Brown,John F. Bruno,Michael N Dawson,Steven D. Gaines,Richard K. Grosberg,Alan Hastings,Robert D. Holt,Margaret M. Mayfield,Mary I. O'Connor,William R. Rice +11 more
TL;DR: How the study of invasions can help to inform the understanding of applied problems, such as extinction, ecosystem function and the response of species to climate change is emphasized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature control of larval dispersal and the implications for marine ecology, evolution, and conservation
Mary I. O'Connor,John F. Bruno,Steven D. Gaines,Benjamin S. Halpern,Sarah E. Lester,Brian P. Kinlan,Jack M. Weiss +6 more
TL;DR: A unified, parameterized model for the temperature dependence of larval development in marine animals is presented and changes in ocean temperature could have a direct and predictable influence on population connectivity, community structure, and regional-to-global scale patterns of biodiversity.
