Selection on larval and adult body size in a marine fish: potential evolutionary responses and effects on population dynamics

Creator:

Johnson, Darren W.

Abstract:

Many species have complex life cycles in which a dispersive larval stage is followed by a relatively sedentary adult stage. For such species, reproductive output is often high and large variation in survivorship throughout early life-history phases (eggs and larvae) can lead to dramatic fluctuations in recruitment which may in...

Advancing marine reserve science : from field experiments to marine conservation planning tools

Creator:

Leslie, Heather M.

Abstract:

This dissertation focuses on science relevant to the design and implementation of marine reserves. The chapters explore a range of topics related to among-site variation in population, community, and ecosystem dynamics. My results demonstrate the value and feasibility of integrating this knowledge into more comprehensive conservation and management approaches. While...
