On the spatial scale of dispersal in coral reef fishes

O Puebla, E Bermingham, WO McMillan - Molecular Ecology, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Marine biologists have gone through a paradigm shift, from the assumption that marine
populations are largely ‘open’ owing to extensive larval dispersal to the realization that marine …

Genomic atolls of differentiation in coral reef fishes (Hypoplectrus spp., Serranidae)

O Puebla, E Bermingham, WO McMillan - Molecular Ecology, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Because the vast majority of species are well diverged, relatively little is known about the
genomic architecture of speciation during the early stages of divergence. Species within recent …

Colour pattern as a single trait driving speciation in Hypoplectrus coral reef fishes?

O Puebla, E Bermingham… - Proceedings of the …, 2007 - royalsocietypublishing.org
… The Smithsonian Marine Science Network provided financial support for our investigation
and Oscar Puebla was supported by graduate fellowships from the Levinson Family, Astroff-…

Pairing dynamics and the origin of species

O Puebla, E Bermingham… - Proceedings of the …, 2012 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Whether sexual selection alone can drive the evolution of assortative mating in the presence
of gene flow is a long-standing question in evolutionary biology. Here, we report a role for …

Estimating dispersal from genetic isolation by distance in a coral reef fish (Hypoplectrus puella)

O Puebla, E Bermingham, F Guichard - Ecology, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
The spatial scale of dispersal in coral reef fishes eludes ecologists despite the importance
of this parameter for understanding the dynamics of ecological and evolutionary processes. …

Negative coupling: the coincidence of premating isolating barriers can reduce reproductive isolation

…, M Kopp, IJ Linn, O Puebla… - Cold Spring …, 2024 - cshperspectives.cshlp.org
Speciation can be mediated by a variety of reproductive barriers, and the interaction among
different barriers has often been shown to enhance overall reproductive isolation, a process …

Ecological speciation in marine v. freshwater fishes

O Puebla - Journal of Fish Biology, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Absolute barriers to dispersal are not common in marine systems, and the prevalence of
planktonic larvae in marine taxa provides potential for gene flow across large geographic …

[HTML][HTML] Reviewing the ecosystem services, societal goods, and benefits of marine protected areas

…, D Mouillot, M Pérez-Marcos, O Puebla… - Frontiers in Marine …, 2021 - frontiersin.org
Marine protected areas (MPAs) are globally important environmental management tools
that provide protection from the effects of human exploitation and activities, supporting the …

Deep-sea predator niche segregation revealed by combined cetacean biologging and eDNA analysis of cephalopod prey

…, T Bayer, MG Oudejans, DSW De Jonge, O Puebla… - Science …, 2021 - science.org
Fundamental insight on predator-prey dynamics in the deep sea is hampered by a lack of
combined data on hunting behavior and prey spectra. Deep-sea niche segregation may …

Long-distance benefits of marine reserves: myth or reality?

…, A Pérez-Ruzafa, C Breusing, O Puebla… - Trends in Ecology & …, 2019 - cell.com
Long-distance (>40-km) dispersal from marine reserves is poorly documented; yet, it can
provide essential benefits such as seeding fished areas or connecting marine reserves into …
