• Nature and consequences of biological connectivity in mangrove systems

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 302:293-305 (2005)

  Mangroves are important nursery and feeding areas for fish. Their rich invertebrate faunas render them productive feeding areas, while their shallow waters and structural complexity provide sanctuary…

• Movement patterns of barramundi Lates calcarifer, inferred from ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr and Sr/Ca ratios in otoliths, indicate non-participation in spawning

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 301:279-291 (2005)

  The migration patterns of the large catadromous fish, barramundi Lates calcarifer in southern Papua New Guinea were examined by analysing 87 Sr/ 86 Sr and Sr/Ca ratios by MC-LA-ICPMS and LA-ICPMS,…

• Daily movement of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis in different subtidal habitats in eastern Canada

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 317:87-99 (2006)

  We measured the movement and orientation of sea urchins at 2 sites in each of 4 habitats on urchin barrens in the northern Gulf of St. Lawrence, eastern Canada. We tagged the urchins measuring 25 to…

• Influence of water motion and reproductive attributes on movement and shelter use in the marine snail Littorina saxatilis

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 315:177-186 (2006)

  Extrinsic factors such as the physical environment can control the activities of animals, but their effect on behaviour can vary substantially among individuals within a given population depending on…

• Patterns of spatial distribution and behaviour of fish on a rocky intertidal platform at high tide

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 316:155-164 (2006)

  We describe the patterns of spatial distribution and behaviour of an intertidal fish assemblage on a rocky intertidal platform in the south of Portugal during high tide. Data were collected by…

• Spatial and temporal movement of the lined shore crab Pachygrapsus crassipes in salt marshes and its utility as an indicator of habitat condition

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 314:271-281 (2006)

  The utility of the lined shore crab Pachygrapsus crassipes as an indicator of small-scale variation in the condition of salt marshes was determined by conducting detailed mark-recapture studies of the…

• 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…

• Limited movement in blue rockfish Sebastes mystinus: internal structure of home range

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 327:157-170 (2006)

  Home range has been estimated for a limited number of marine fishes; however, the use of space and timing of activities within the home range has rarely been studied. In addition, understanding…

• Use of acoustic telemetry for spatial management of southern calamary Sepioteuthis australis, a highly mobile inshore squid species

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 328:1-15 (2006)

  The use of temporal and/or spatial fishing exclusions is a common approach in managing impacts of squid fisheries targeting spawning aggregations, although there are limited data for assessing closed…
