A Conceptual Framework and Methods for Studying the Connectivity of Fishes
ABSTRACT Connectivity is a multifaceted concept that has important implications for the management and conservation of marine and freshwater fishes. We developed a conceptual framework that encompasses multiple, interrelated categories of connectedness, including landscape (e.g., structural, functional) connectivity and ecological (e.g., trophic ...

Low Florida coral calcification rates in the Plio-Pleistocene [PDF]
In geological outcrops and drill cores from reef frameworks, the skeletons of scleractinian corals are usually leached and more or less completely transformed into sparry calcite because the highly porous skeletons formed of metastable aragonite (CaCO3 ...

The modern discipline, however, really began after World War II and evolved in two distinct phases.

ABSTRACT In 2002, the Brazilian government banned fishing for Goliath grouper, Epinephelus itajara (Lichtenstein, 1822), through 2007. This grouper was the first fish species targeted by a specific law in Brazilian environmental legislation. Grouper stocks showed no signs of recovery, so the ban was renewed multiple times since 2007. Official estimates
