The Response of a protandrous species to exploitation, and the implications for management: a case study with patellid limpets
… sequential) hermaphrodite. Patellid limpets are broadcast spawners which can have specific implications for the effect of exploitation on reproductive output, due to sperm limitation. The combined zygote production model was made of three component sub-models; a population fecundity model, a …

Bet- hedging reproduction strategies in the massive Caribbean coral Favia fragum
… of such strategies in other brooding species and broadcast spawners should be a focus of further investigation to evaluate the potential for corals to populate environments beyond the familiar and persist future unpredictability

Life history traits and population processes in marine bivalve molluscs
… To predict the potential responses of a broadcast-spawning life history such as that of M. arenaria, I surveyed the literature on a variety of bivalve species. By incorporating information on growth, survival, and reproduction into matrix population models I could evaluate the relative …

Significant Population Structure and Little Connectivity in South African Rocky Shore Species: Implications for the Conservation of Regional Marine Biodiversity
… of population genetic structure among brooders, broadcast spawners and live-bearers, demonstrating that life histories are a poor predictor of genetic connectivity for South African marine species. Finally, we find that estimates of effective dispersal distance for taxa from each of the life …

Marine invertebrate sperm: assessment of sperm quality using computer-aided sperm analysis
… ecosystems are dominated by a variety of marine broadcast spawners. In this study, five species of marine invertebrates, namely Parechinus angulosus (Echinoidea), Choromytilus meridionalis (Bivalvia), Crassostrea gigas (Bivalvia), Donax serra (Bivalvia) and Haliotis midae (Gastropoda) were …
