Marine broadcast spawners have two-phase life cycles, with pelagic larvae and benthic
adults. Larval supply and settlement link these two phases and are crucial for the …

Biophysical models are being used increasingly, both as predictive tools of larval dispersal
for a particular system and for general evaluation of the role of different factors in larval …

Flowing water delivers planktonic larvae to surfaces, but also dislodges them. This paper
reviews experiments in the field and in laboratory flumes, as well as mathematical models …

Chemical cues mediate many critical life processes, such as feeding, reproduction, and
benthic settling, for aquatic organisms. Depending on the fluid velocity and flow regime …

Predators can disproportionately impact the structure and function of ecosystems relative to
their biomass. These effects may be exacerbated under warming in ecosystems like the …

Fish farming in coastal areas is a rapidly growing industry. However, unregulated fish
farming practices that release massive amounts of unconsumed feed and fecal material into …

In marine plankton, many swimming species can perceive their environment with flow
sensors. Can they use this flow information to travel faster in turbulence? To address this …

Many benthic marine invertebrate animals release larvae that are dispersed by ocean
currents. These larvae swim and can respond to environmental factors such as chemical …

Laboratory experiments obtained fine scale measurements of turbulent shear stresses and
rates of mixing and mass transfer over a nonliving bed of the coral, Porites compressa, the …
