Settlement of marine organisms in flow
Article Abstract:
Dispersal of propagules for benthic marine species is dependent on the impact of water flow on the settlement process. Water flow variables include hydrodynamic forces, settlement cues generating active propagule behaviors, and settlement cue mediations such as attractant concentration and sediment load. These factors influence the survivability of the species during the propagule pelagic and the adult benthic periods.

A comparison of alternative strategies for estimating gene flow from genetic markers
Article Abstract:
Alternative strategies for gene flow prediction are useful despite their inferiority to the standard Wright's island model of population structure. They can measure different components of gene flow from genetic markers, offer independent predictions and identify historical population structure changes. These strategies may be enhanced in the future as utilization of DNA sequence genealogical relationships increases.

Male and female alternative reproductive behaviors in fishes: a new approach using intersexual dynamics
Article Abstract:
Two recent discoveries will impact both studies and occurrences of alternative reproductive mechanisms and patterns in fishes. Alternative female reproductive behaviors have been identified, and should be incorporated into future study. The interaction between the sexes has also been found to influence the occurrence and expression of alternative behavior.
