Management and conservation can be greatly informed by considering explicitly how environmental factors influence population genetic structure. Using simulated larval dispersal estimates based on ocean current observations, we demonstrate explicit consideration of frequency exchange larvae among sites via advection fundamentally change the interpretation empirical structuring as compared with conventional spatial analyses. Both difference were uncorrelated Euclidean distance between sites....
Abstract Marine species frequently show weak and/or complex genetic structuring that is commonly dismissed as ‘chaotic’ patchiness and ecologically uninformative. Here, using three datasets individually feature chaotic patchiness, we demonstrate combining inferences across incorporating environmental data can greatly improve the predictive value of marine population genetics studies on small spatial scales. Significant correlations in patterns microsatellite markers among species, kelp bass...
The quantification of coastal connectivity is important for a wide range real‐world applications ranging from assessment pollutant risk to nearshore fisheries management. For these purposes, can be defined as the probability that water parcels one location have advected another site over given time interval. Here we demonstrate how quantify using Lagrangian probability‐density functions (PDFs) based on numerical solutions circulation Southern California Bight (SCB). Ensemble mean dispersal...
The precarious state of many nearshore marine ecosystems has prompted the use protected areas as a tool for management and conservation. However, there remains substantial debate over their design and, in particular, how to best account spatial dynamics species. Many commercially important species are sedentary adults, with limited home ranges. It is larvae that they disperse greater distances, traveling ocean currents sometimes hundreds kilometers. As result, these exist spatially complex...
Abstract Global patterns of planktonic diversity are mainly determined by the dispersal propagules with ocean currents. However, role that abundance and body size play in determining spatial remains unclear. Here we analyse community structure - β-diversity for several nektonic organisms from prokaryotes to small mesopelagic fishes collected during Malaspina 2010 Expedition. was compared surface transit times derived a global circulation model, revealing significant negative relationship is...
Abstract The Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change highlights that climate change and ocean acidification are challenging sustainable management living marine resources (LMRs). Formal systematic treatment uncertainty in existing LMR projections, however, is lacking. We synthesize knowledge how to address different sources by drawing from model intercomparison efforts. suggest an ensemble available models informed observations, as a starting point quantify...
Abstract Ocean currents are expected to be the predominant environmental factor influencing dispersal of planktonic larvae or spores; yet, their characterization as predictors marine connectivity has been hindered by a lack understanding how best use oceanographic data. We used high‐resolution model output and Lagrangian particle simulations derive distances (hereafter called transport times) between sites studied for Macrocystis pyrifera genetic differentiation. build upon classical...
Abstract Planktonic communities are shaped through a balance of local evolutionary adaptation and ecological succession driven in large part by migration. The timescales over which these processes operate still largely unresolved. Here we use Lagrangian particle tracking network theory to quantify the timescale surface currents connect different regions global ocean. We find that fastest path between two patches—each randomly located anywhere ocean—is, on average, less than decade. These...
Integrated management of multiple economic sectors is a central tenet blue growth and socially optimal use ocean-based natural resources, but the mechanisms implementation remain poorly understood. In this review, we explore challenges opportunities multi-sector management. We describe roles key existing (fisheries, transportation, offshore hydrocarbon) emerging (aquaculture, tourism, seabed mining) likely synergistic antagonistic inter-sector interactions. then review methods to help...
Significance Climate shocks are increasingly disruptive to global food systems, with far-reaching consequences for resource-based communities. Yet quantitative assessments of community impacts rarely account economic connectivity between alternative resources. We show that patterns resource use influence the sensitivity US West Coast fishing communities unprecedented fishery closures in wake a recent climate shock.

The probability of dispersal from one habitat patch to another is a key quantity in our efforts understand and predict the dynamics natural populations. Unfortunately, an often overlooked property this potential connectivity that it may change with time. In marine realm, transient landscape features, such as mesoscale eddies alongshore jets, produce highly variable We assess impact temporal variability by comparing simulations nearshore metapopulation when constant through time (i.e.,...
Understanding the mechanisms that create spatial heterogeneity in species distributions is fundamental to ecology. For nearshore marine systems, most have a pelagic larval stage where dispersal strongly influenced by patterns of ocean circulation. Concomitantly, habitats and local environment are also Because shared dependence on seascape, distinguishing relative importance from regional for community structure remains challenge. Here, we quantify "oceanographic distance" asymmetry" between...
Abstract Marine social–ecological systems are constantly changing, and fishers who make a living from working the seas continually adapting in response to different sources of variability. One main way which can adapt ecosystem change is fisheries they participate in. This acts connect fisheries, creating interlinked networks alternative income for fishers. Here, we synthesize data construct connectivity all major ports US California Current Large Ecosystem. Fisheries comprised nodes,...
Aquaculture production is projected to expand from land-based operations the open ocean as demand for seafood grows and competition increases inputs aquaculture, such freshwater suitable land. In contrast production, open-ocean aquaculture constrained by oceanographic factors, current speeds seawater temperature, which are dynamic in time space, cannot easily be controlled. As such, potential offshore increase tied physical state of oceans. We employ a novel spatial model estimate finfish...
Abstract Conflict over marine fishery resources is a growing security concern. Experts expect that global changes in our climate, food systems and oceans may spark or exacerbate resource conflicts. An initial scan of 803 relevant papers subsequent intensive review 31 fisheries conflict studies, focused on subnational international conflicts, suggests four substantial scientific gaps need addressing to improve understanding the nature drivers conflict. First, levels intensity are not...
Coral reefs are increasingly exposed to elevated temperatures that can cause coral bleaching and high levels of mortality corals associated organisms. The temperature threshold for depends on the acclimation adaptation local maximum regime. However, because larval dispersal, populations receive larvae from adapted very different regimes. We combine an offline particle tracking routine with output a high-resolution physical oceanographic model investigate whether connectivity between thermal...
Abstract A critical tool in assessing ecosystem change is the analysis of long‐term data sets, yet such information generally sparse and often unavailable for many habitats. Kelp forests are an example rapidly changing ecosystems that most cases poor. Because kelp highly dynamic have high intrinsic interannual variability, understanding how regional‐scale drivers driving populations—and particularly populations responding to climate change—requires sets. However, much work on responses has...

In light of rapid environmental change, quantifying the contribution regional- and local-scale drivers coral persistence is necessary to characterize fully resilience reef systems. To assess multiscale responses thermal perturbation corals in Coral Triangle (CT), we developed a spatially explicit metacommunity model with coral-algal competition, including seasonal larval dispersal external spatiotemporal forcing. We tested sensitivity 2,083 reefs across CT region surrounding areas under...
