Life and death in the plankton: larval mortality and adaptation

SG Morgan - Ecology of marine invertebrate larvae, 2020 - taylorfrancis.com
Marine animals typically release tremendous numbers of larvae or gametes into the
surrounding water column. Conventional wisdom purports that few larvae survive long …

Causes of decoupling between larval supply and settlement and consequences for understanding recruitment and population connectivity

J Pineda, F Porri, V Starczak, J Blythe - Journal of Experimental Marine …, 2010 - Elsevier
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 …

Settlement of benthic marine invertebrates

SR Rodriguez, FP Ojeda, NC Inestrosa - Marine ecology progress series …, 1993 - int-res.com

Role of early post-settlement mortality in recruitment of benthic marine invertebrates

HL Hunt, RE Scheibling - Marine Ecology Progress Series, 1997 - int-res.com
Newly settled invertebrates usually are subject to high rates of mortality (Type 111
survivorship). Therefore, knowledge of early post-settlement events is critical in determ …

Top-down and bottom-up community regulation in marine rocky intertidal habitats

BA Menge - Journal of experimental marine biology and ecology, 2000 - Elsevier
Strong top-down control by consumers has been demonstrated in rocky intertidal
communities around the world. In contrast, the role of bottom-up effects (nutrients and …

An empirical test of recruitment limitation in a coral reef fish

P Doherty, T Fowler - Science, 1994 - science.org
A long-term, large-scale empirical test of the recruitment limitation hypothesis was done by
sampling fish populations from the southern Great Barrier Reef after having monitored their …

Community structure and organization of tidepools

A Metaxas, RE Scheibling - Marine Ecology Progress Series, 1993 - int-res.com
Although tidepools are conspicuous components of rocky intertidal shores, their biotic
communities have not been studied as extensively as those on emergent substrata. We …

Role of light intensity and spectral quality in coral settlement: implications for depth-dependent settlement?

CN Mundy, RC Babcock - Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and …, 1998 - Elsevier
On coral reefs scleractinian corals show strong patterns of vertical zonation, yet the

A Metaxas, M Saunders - The Biological Bulletin, 2009 - journals.uchicago.edu
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 …
