• Low connectivity and declining genetic variability along a depth gradient in Corallium rubrum populations (2011, unknown): “Most studies on connectivity in marine species (see Weersing and Toonen 2009 for a review) investigated geographical patterns between populations at a range of different spatial scales (from metres to thousand kilometres).”
• Linking basin‐scale connectivity, oceanography and population dynamics for the conservation and management of marine ecosystems (2016, unknown): “…that the relationship between PLDs and geographic distances249 alone have a limited influence, if any, on observed genetic structuring [e.g. Weersing & Toonen 2009; Riginos250 et al. 2011], calling for a better appraisal of biological and extrinsic factors, such as hydrodynamics, that…”
• Shifting seas: the impacts of Pleistocene sea‐level fluctuations on the evolution of tropical marine taxa (2015, unknown): “Population breaks are also found at other locations bordering the Indo-Pacific, such as the Red Sea where the crown-of-thorns starfish (Vogler et al., 2008) and several fishes (DiBattista et al., 2013) exhibit population breaks.”
• Behavior constrains the dispersal of long-lived spiny lobster larvae (2011, unknown): “…of stage-specific larval biogeography (e.g. Dennis et al. 2001, Sekiguchi & Inoue 2002), genetic studies (reviewed by Hedgecock et al. 2007 and by Weersing & Toonen 2009), mark–recapture studies of larvae bearing natural or artificial tags (reviewed by Thorrold et al. 2007), tracking of larval…”
• Seascape Genetics: Populations, Individuals, and Genes Marooned and Adrift (2013, background): “A firm conclusion that emerges, however, is that species with direct development (PLD = 0) have high genetic structure (Weersing & Toonen 2009; Kelly & Palumbi 2010).”
• Estimating dispersal distance in the deep sea: challenges and applications to marine reserves (2015, unknown): “However, the strength of the relationship between PLD and dispersal is being debated (Paulay and Meyer, 2006; Strathmann, 2007; Shanks, 2009; Weersing and Toonen, 2009; Selkoe and Toonen, 2011; Mercier et al., 2013).”
• What can genetics tell us about population connectivity? (2010, unknown): “…methods and genetic analyses has been especially valuable for evaluating the importance of connectivity in marine systems, where many species produce large numbers of small propagules that cannot be individually marked (Jones et al. 2005; Cowen & Sponaugle 2009; Weersing & Toonen 2009).”
• Spatial pattern of genetic and morphological diversity in the direct developer Acanthina monodon (Gastropoda: Mollusca) (2011, background): “Recent work emphasizes the role of environmental conditions, selection and histo rical events in explaining present-day population ge ne tic structure (Miller & Ayre 2008, Weersing & Toonen 2009).”
