• Estimating the dispersal potential of polychaete species in the Southern California Bight: implications for designing marine reserves

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 316:105-113 (2006)

  Using known and inferred life-history information, we estimated the dispersal potential of 501 polychaete species sampled during a 1998 monitoring study in the Southern California Bight. We tested the…

• Habitat use and demographic population structure of elasmobranchs at a Caribbean atoll (Glover’s Reef, Belize)

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 302:187-197 (2005)

  A 5 yr spring and summer survey (July 2000 to May 2004) of the elasmobranch fauna of Glover’s Reef Marine Reserve, Belize, documents the use of this oceanic atoll by at least 12 elasmobranch species,…

• Linking fish assemblages and attributes of mangrove estuaries in tropical Australia: criteria for regional marine reserves

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 305:41-57 (2005)

  Quantifying natural features important in structuring fish assemblages is an essential pre-requisite to implementation of measures to conserve regionally representative whole ecosystems. Tropical…

• Larval accumulation in the lee of a small headland: implications for the design of marine reserves

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 318:19-29 (2006)

  Oceanic currents and larval accumulation potentially have large impacts on the choice of locations for marine reserves. Larval settlement of benthic invertebrates was greater in the lee than on the…

• Alongshore advection and marine reserves: consequences for modeling and management

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 309:11-24 (2006)

  The appropriate configuration of marine reserves for maximizing harvests or ensuring species persistence when there is uncertainty or variability in larval dispersal patterns is not completely…

• Spillover of spiny lobsters Palinurus elephas from a marine reserve to an adjoining fishery

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 308:207-219 (2006)

  We investigate the effects of the Columbretes Islands Marine Reserve (CIMR, Western Mediterranean) on the adjacent Palinurus elephas (Fabricius, 1787) fishery. After 9 to 12 yr of no-take protection…

• Morphological monitoring of subtidal sponge assemblages

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 311:79-91 (2006)

  The management of the marine environment requires effective temporal monitoring of communities and assemblages to detect any change above the level of natural variability. Even though sponges are…

• Assessing effectiveness of the blue crab spawning stock sanctuary in Chesapeake Bay using tag-return methodology

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 321:215-225 (2006)

  The blue crab spawning stock in Chesapeake Bay sustained a severe and persistent decline beginning in 1992. As part of the effort to enhance the spawning stock, the spawning sanctuary in lower…

• Temporal patterns of spawning of the dusky grouper Epinephelus marginatus in relation to environmental factors

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 325:187-194 (2006)

  The dusky grouper Epinephelus marginatus pair spawns in summer in the NW Mediterranean. Only a few spawning sites have been identified, mostly in marine reserves. Because the dusky grouper is…

• Site fidelity and seasonal movement patterns of adult California sheephead Semicossyphus pulcher (Labridae): an acoustic monitoring study

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 326:257-267 (2006)

  The California sheephead Semicossyphus pulcher Ayres (Labridae) is a temperate, rocky-reef/kelp-bed fish that is sought by recreational and commercial fishermen. Long-term acoustic monitoring was used…

• Prey size refugia and trophic cascades in marine reserves

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 328:285-293 (2006)

  After the establishment of marine reserves, trophic cascades, with an increase in top predators, decrease in herbivores and increase in producers, are often expected but not consistently observed.…
