Reproduction on the edge: large-scale patterns of individual performance in a marine invertebrateSarah E Lester
Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology, University of California, Santa Barbara, California 93106, USA
Ecology 88:2229-39. 2007..Large-scale studies such as this provide valuable insight into the causes of species' range limits, population connectivity, habitat reserve design, and forecasting the effects of climate change on species' distributions...
The relationship between pelagic larval duration and range size in tropical reef fishes: a synthetic analysisSarah E Lester
Department of Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology, University of California, Santa Barbara 93106, USA
Proc Biol Sci 272:585-91. 2005..If increased speciation rate within a taxonomic group results in smaller range sizes within that group, speciation rate could regulate the association between range size and dispersal potential...
Status and solutions for the world's unassessed fisheriesChristopher Costello
Bren School of Environmental Science and Management, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93106, USA
Science 338:517-20. 2012..Our results suggest that global fishery recovery would simultaneously create increases in abundance (56%) and fishery yields (8 to 40%)...
The relationship between dispersal ability and geographic range sizeSarah E Lester
Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology and Marine Science Institute, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93106 9610, USA
Ecol Lett 10:745-58. 2007..Overall, our results indicate that although dispersal can be an important process moderating species' distributions, increased attention should be paid to other processes responsible for range size variation...

National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis, Santa Barbara, CA 93101, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 107:18312-7. 2010..Ultimately, better synergies between these two burgeoning approaches provide opportunities to greatly benefit ocean health...
