| Notes | The valuable ecological roles provided by seagrasses are well known. Population connectivity in seagrasses, however, is less well understood. “Accurate estimation of connectivity among populations is fundamental for determining the drivers of population resilience, genetic diversity, adaptation and speciation” (from the Abstract). This article provides a review about what is known about this aspect of seagrass ecology around the world, and includes a study of eelgrass in Yaquina Bay. The authors point out what is known, gaps in knowledge, and potential directions for future research. |
