ASFB Home > Local retention of production in marine populations: evidence, mechanisms and consequences
RR Warner and RK Cowen (eds).
Bulletin of Marine Science 70(1B).
This special issue is derived from the efforts of a Working Group set up under the auspices of the US National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis and convened by Bob Warner. It examines the important question of the degree of connectedness between local marine populations: that is, how demographically open or closed are marine populations? The publication consists of three sections, each of which examines different aspects of the question.
1) The Evidence section contains four papers:
2) The Mechanisms section of two papers explores the physical and biological bases for larval retention:
3) The Consequences section consists of a single paper with two major themes:
This issue, scheduled for April/May 2002 publication, will be of interest to marine biologists and those attempting to manage marine living resources.
