Shaping research in marine functional connectivity for integrated and effective marine science and management

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1143-1180, June 2026.
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 ...
