Life in the Slow Lane: Ecology and Conservation of Long-Lived Marine Animals
Abstract
Abstract. —Individuals of many aquatic species produce millions of offspring in a single spawning event, engage in several such events during a spawning season, and may be reproductively active for many years. Out of all of this activity only two offspring must reach reproductive age in order for the species to maintain its numbers. The genetic consequences of this high-risk strategy have been discussed in previous work. At least five null hypotheses concerning the relationship between reproductive output and the distribution of genetic variation can be constructed from theoretical considerations and the biology of weakfish Cynoscion regalis, spotted sea trout Cynoscion nebulosus , and red drum Sciaenops ocellatus . In this paper, we test four of these hypotheses and provisionally reject three. These results indicate the variance in reproductive output tends to reduce effective population size and lead to apparent (and misleading) fine-scale population structure in long-lived species.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
