Contents:
1. The merging of metapopulation theory and marine ecology : establishing the historical context / Peter F. Sale, Ilkka Hanski and Jacob P. Kritzer -- 2. The metapopulation ecology of coral reef fishes / Jacob P. Kritzer and Peter F. Sale -- 3. Temperate rocky reef fishes / Donald R. Gunderson and Russell D. Vetter -- 4. Estuarine and diadromous fish metapopulations / Cynthia M. Jones -- 5. Metapopulation dynamics of hard corals / Peter J. Mumby and Calvin Dytham -- 6. Population and spatial structure of two common temperate reef herbivores : abalone and sea urchins / Lance E. Morgan and Scoresby A. Shepherd -- 7. Rocky intertidal invertebrates : the potential for metapopulations within and among shores / Mark P. Johnson -- 8. Metapopulation dynamics of coastal decapods / Michael J. Fogarty and Louis W. Botsford -- 9. A metapopulation approach to interpreting diversity at deep-sea hydrothermal vents / Michael G. Neubert, Lauren S. Mullineaux and M. Forrest Hill -- 10. A metapopulation perspective on the patch dynamics of giant kelp in Southern California / Daniel C. Reed, Brian P. Kinlan, Peter T. Raimondi, Libe Washburn, Brian Gaylord and Patrick T. Drake -- 11. Seagrasses and the metapopulation concept : developing a regional approach to the study of extinction, colonization, and dispersal / Susan S. Bell -- 12. Conservation dynamics of marine metapopulations with dispersing larvae / Louis W. Botsford and Alan Hastings -- 13. Genetic approaches to understanding marine metapopulation dynamics / Michael Hellberg -- 14. Metapopulation dynamics and community ecology of marine systems / Ronald H. Karlson -- 15. Metapopulation ecology and marine conservation / Larry B. Crowder and Will F. Figueira -- 16. The future of metapopulation science in marine ecology / Jacob P. Kritzer and Peter F. Sale.
Summary: "Technological improvements have greatly increased the ability of marine scientists to collect and analyze data over large spatial scales, and the resultant insights attainable from interpreting those data vastly increase understanding of poplation dynamics, evolution and biogeography. Marine Metapopulations provides a synthesis of existing information and understanding, and frames the most important future directions and issues.* First book to systematically apply metapopulation theory directly to marine systems*Contributions from leading international ecologists and fisheries biologists*Perspectives on a broad array of marine organisms and ecosystems, from coastal estuaries to shallow reefs to deep-sea hydrothermal vents*Critical science for improved management of marine resources*Paves the way for future research on large-scale spatial ecology of marine systems"--Publisher description.
