Larval Connectivity in an Effective Network of Marine Protected Areas

Creator:

Christie, Mark R., Tissot, Brian N., Albins, Mark A., Beets, James P., Jia, Yanli, Ortiz, Delisse M., Thompson, Stephen E., and Hixon, Mark A.

Abstract:

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 larvae of targeted species. For the first time, we present direct evidence of large-scale population connectivity within an existing and effective network of MPAs....

Low Susceptibility of Invasive Red Lionfish (Pterois volitans) to a Generalist Ectoparasite in Both Its Introduced and Native Ranges

Creator:

Sikkel, Paul C., Tuttle, Lillian J., Cure, Katherine, Coile, Ann Marie, and Hixon, Mark A.

Abstract:

Escape from parasites in their native range is one of many mechanisms that can contribute to the success of an invasive species. Gnathiid isopods are blood-feeding ectoparasites that infest a wide range of fish hosts, mostly in coral reef habitats. They are ecologically similar to terrestrial ticks, with the ability...
