Technological improvements have greatly increased the ability of marine scientists to collect and analyze data over large spatial scales, and the resultant insights attainable from interpreting those data vastly increase understanding of poplation dynamics, evolution and biogeography. Marine Metapopulations provides a synthesis of existing information and understanding, and frames the most important future directions and issues. * First book to systematically apply metapopulation theory directly to marine systems *Contributions from leading international ecologists and fisheries biologists *Perspectives on a broad array of marine organisms and ecosystems, from coastal estuaries to shallow reefs to deep-sea hydrothermal vents *Critical science for improved management of marine resources *Paves the way for future research on large-scale spatial ecology of marine systems

"This fascinating book gives readers core information about marine biomes on coasts, in coral reefs, frozen oceans, and in the deepest depths of the ocean. Find out where each kind is found, how animals and plants have adapted to life underwater, who lives in these environments, and how humans impact life there."--

Readers will learn about the three main marine biomes, which are oceans, coral reefs, and estuaries (where rivers meet oceans). The text will focus on water temperatures, and the very unique plants and animals that live in salty marine biomes. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards.
