Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Effective knowledge of ecological connectivity at sea and at the land–sea interface is key to supporting global policy goals to conserve and restore ocean biodiversity and function. However, a persistent lack of commonality in terminology and understanding around the concept of connectivity in marine ecological studies hampers its integration ...

Estimating changes in biological properties across biogeographic boundaries using high-frequency acoustics [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1990 The use of high-frequency acoustics to study biogeographic boundaries is entering a new phase with the development of hardware and software that enable estimates of total biomass, number of scatterers, and individual size, all as a function of distance from the echo sounder. For macrozooplankton and micronekton, the relationship between target strength

Impacts of marine biogeographic boundaries on phylogeographic patterns of three South African estuarine crustaceans [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2006 The South African coastline comprises 3 main biogeographic provinces: (1) the cool- temperate west coast, (2) the warm-temperate south coast, and (3) the subtropical east coast. The boundaries between these regions are defined by changes in species compositions and hydrological conditions.

The spread of non‐native species
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Species Limits and Phylogeography of North American Cricket Frogs (Acris: Hylidae) [PDF]
, 2008 Cricket frogs are widely distributed across the eastern United States and two species, the northern cricket frog (Acris crepitans) and the southern cricket frog (A. gryllus) are currently recognized. We generated a phylogenetic hypothesis for Acris using

The impacts of biological invasions
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Natural Versus National Boundaries: the Importance of Considering Biogeographical Patterns in Forest Conservation Policy [PDF]
Conservation Letters, 2014 Abstract Applying biogeographical insights to the regulation of production forestry and the determination of forest reserve strategies is expected to increase the effectiveness of biodiversity conservation actions. Here, we assess the extent to which such applications take place.

Early evolutionary history of the seed
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...
