Call for abstracts! Source Habitat Quality and Metapopulation Dynamics in Marine Ecosystems
Symposium at the CERF 2011 meeting in Daytona Beach, FL. CALL FOR ABSTRACTS Population connectivity is gaining importance as a vital component in maintaining stocks and wild populations in the face of anthropogenic impacts. This organized oral session will integrate basic research and theoretical modeling with management and policy in the field of spatial population dynamics. While the topic of spatially structured populations is not novel, few researchers incorporate both population dynamics and habitat characteristics to provide a mechanistic understanding of connectivity patterns. Understanding the ecological characteristics that promote or restrict population connectivity is essential for effective implementation of spatially explicit management strategies. We seek oral and poster presentations on the above subject, however all taxa or systems would be welcome.
