• Why are there so many species in the tropics? (2013, background): “The higher temperatures in the tropics cause higher rates of metabolism, ecological dynamics and coevolutionary processes, which generate and maintain higher biodiversity.”
• Satellite-derived SST data as a proxy for water temperature in nearshore benthic ecology (2009, background): “Temperature is a key factor controlling the distribution of species and physiological processes (Schils & Wilson 2006, O’Connor et al. 2007, Byrne et al. 2009, Staehr & Wernberg 2009), and easily accessible temperature data for the global ocean has facilitated considerable progress in our…”
• Genetic variation in responses to a settlement cue and elevated temperature in the reef-building coral Acropora millepora (2009, background): “Metabolic rates are profoundly affected by changes in temperature, and the potential for this to affect dispersal potential in marine larvae is widely appreciated (O’Connor et al. 2007).”
• Seascape Genetics: Populations, Individuals, and Genes Marooned and Adrift (2013, background): “For instance, PLD may be spatially variable within a species, because higher ambient temperatures are expected to raise metabolic rates and thus reduce the duration of the larval stage (O'Connor et al. 2007) perhaps affecting genetic structuring among locations (David et al.”
• Functional and Phylogenetic Approaches to Forecasting Species' Responses to Climate Change (2012, background): “Development rate, which is tightly constrained by temperature, is a key determinant of dispersal distance for planktivorous marine larvae (O’Connor et al. 2007).”
• Ontogeny of behaviour in larvae of marine demersal fishes (2010, neutral): “Further, because the growth rates of cold-water species are likely to be slower than those of warm-water species (O’Connor et al. 2007), the former will take longer to reach any given size, thus delaying the beginning of influential swimming speeds, and keeping larvae in a viscous hydrodynamic envir”
• The role of molecular genetics in sculpting the future of integrative biogeography (2008, background): “Thus, the gradualist allopatric evolutionary mechanisms predominant in evolutionary theory for over 50 years (Mayr, 1942; 1954; Palumbi and Lessios, 2005) and explicit in the phylogeographical hypotheses (Avise et al.”
• Conserving potential coral reef refuges at high latitudes (2014, background): “Together with changed ocean circulation patterns (although unknown in magnitude, frequency and scale), this is likely to cause profound changes in connectivity (O’Connor et al., 2007), with unpredictable effects on already fragmented subtropical coral reef communities.”
• Size, temperature, and fitness: Three rules (2008, background): “These thermodynamic models have been challenged on conceptual grounds (Clarke and Fraser, 2004; Clarke, 2006; Clarke and Gaston, 2006; Terblanche et al. , 2007) , and also tested empirically (O’Connor et al. , 2007) .”
• Individualistic species limitations of climate‐induced range expansions generated by meso‐scale dispersal barriers (2011, background): “For example, pelagic larval duration is negatively correlated with SST (O’Connor et al., 2007).”
• Paradigm shifts in marine fisheries genetics: ugly hypotheses slain by beautiful facts (2008, background): “However, larval durations increase with lower water temperatures (O’Connor et al. 2007), and there is evidence that slopes of the IBD decrease and connectivity increases at higher latitudes (Laurel and Bradbury 2006; Kelly and Eernisse 2007).”
• Emerging from Hjort's Shadow (2008, background): “Such relationships are broadly predictable, and effects on larval stage duration, across marine invertebrate and vertebrate taxa appear to be universal (O’Connor et al., 2007).”
