DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2017.04.060
Abstract: Summary The oceans appear ideal for biodiversity — they have unlimited water, a large area, are well connected, have less extreme temperatures than on land, and contain more phyla and classes than land and fresh… read more here.

Characterizing uncertainty in climate impact projections: a case study with seven marine species on the North American continental shelf
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Ices Journal of Marine Science"
DOI: 10.1093/icesjms/fsaa103
Abstract: Projections of climate change impacts on living resources are being conducted frequently, and the goal is often to inform policy. Species projections will be more useful if uncertainty is effectively quantified. However, few studies have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.180537
Abstract: Determining management units for natural populations is critical for effective conservation and management. However, collecting the requisite tissue samples for population genetic analyses remains the primary limiting factor for a number of marine species. The… read more here.

Biofluorescence as a survey tool for cryptic marine species
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Conservation Biology"
DOI: 10.1111/cobi.13033
Abstract: As ecosystems come under increasing anthropogenic pressure, rare species face the highest risk of extinction. Paradoxically, data necessary to evaluate the conservation status of rare species are often lacking because of the challenges of detecting… read more here.

Sperm chemotaxis in marine species is optimal at physiological flow rates according theory of filament surfing
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "PLoS Computational Biology"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1008826
Abstract: Sperm of marine invertebrates have to find eggs cells in the ocean. Turbulent flows mix sperm and egg cells up to the millimeter scale; below this, active swimming and chemotaxis become important. Previous work addressed… read more here.
