  • Otolith elemental composition and adult tagging reveal spawning site fidelity and estuarine dependency in rainbow smelt 

    Bradbury, I. R., S. E. Campana, and P. Bentzen. 2008. "Otolith elemental composition and adult tagging reveal spawning site fidelity and estuarine dependency in rainbow smelt." Marine Ecology Progress Series 368: 255-268. doi:10.3354/meps07583
    Observations of homing and straying in marine organisms based on traditional Eulerian approaches may fail to resolve dispersal kernels or be unable to differentiate homing from invariant local residency, The roles of ...
  • Population Structure as Revealed by mtDNA and Microsatellites in Northern Fur Seals, Callorhinus ursinus, throughout Their Range 

    Dickerson, Bobette R., Rolf R. Ream, Sacha N. Vignieri, and Paul Bentzen. 2010. "Population Structure as Revealed by mtDNA and Microsatellites in Northern Fur Seals, Callorhinus ursinus, throughout Their Range." Plos One 5(5): 10671-e10671. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0010671
    Background: The northern fur seal (Callorhinus ursinus; NFS) is a widely distributed pinniped that has been shown to exhibit a high degree of philopatry to islands, breeding areas on an island, and even to specific ...
  • Synchronized hatch and its ecological significance in rainbow smelt Osmerus mordax in St. Mary's Bay, Newfoundland 

    Bradbury, IR, SE Campana, P. Bentzen, and PVR Snelgrove. 2004. "Synchronized hatch and its ecological significance in rainbow smelt Osmerus mordax in St. Mary's Bay, Newfoundland." Limnology and Oceanography 49(6): 2310-2315. DOI:10.4319/lo.2004.49.6.2310
    Early life history stages in most marine animals are subject to high mortality through predation, starvation, and dispersal. Accordingly, the potential exists for the selection of behavioral mechanisms that reduce ...
