(from Atsushi Fujimura, University of Guam) Dear colleagues, I believe some of you are interested in the following session at the 2020 Ocean Sciences Meeting. PI005 - Population Connectivity in Aquatic Ecosystems https://agu.confex.com/agu/osm20/prelim.cgi/Session/84576 If you plan to attend the meeting, please consider submitting an abstract to our session. Session Description: Geographical distribution of aquatic organisms is determined by numerous bi= otic and abiotic factors. Advanced tools and methods (e.g., biophysical mod= el, tracking larvae, tank experiment on larval traits) developed last decad= es allow us to further understand connectivity of subpopulations. This sess= ion will integrate new studies and findings on population connectivity and = related processes (e.g., transport, dispersion, recruitment, settlement, co= mpetition) of aquatic organisms (e.g., invertebrates, fish, algae, mangrove= , holoplankton including bacteria and viruses) in any aquatic habitats (ope= n ocean, deep sea, coastal zone, estuary, river, etc.) across a range of sp= atial and temporal scales. Studies contributing to understand basic mechani= sms of aquatic transport and connectivity are expected, but we also solicit= studies dealing with temporal and spatial population/community dynamics du= e to natural/anthropogenic disturbances. Interdisciplinary study using gene= tic population data, laboratory experiment, modeling (numerical, statistica= l, conceptual), in-situ observations, remote sensing as well as innovative = approaches are encouraged. Thank you, Session Organizers: Atsushi Fujimura, University of Guam Satoshi Mitarai, Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Claire Paris, University of Miami Peter Buston, Boston University ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the RCN-ECS list, click the following link: https://listserv.neu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=RCN-ECS
