The present review addresses recent findings made in the western Iberia ecosystem on the
behavioural and physical interactions that regulate dispersal, supply to coastal habitats and …

Abstract The Humboldt Current System (HCS) is one of the most productive marine
ecosystems on earth. It extends along the west coast of South America from southern Chile …

Reflecting the increasing interest in the field and its relevance in global environmental
issues, Oceanography and Marine Biology: An Annual Review provides authoritative …

Larval supply affects the structure of marine communities. Cross-shelf transport of larvae by
upwelling and downwelling may cause variation in larval supply. We tested the hypothesis …

Patterns of recruitment in marine ecosystems can reflect the distribution of adults, dispersal
by ocean currents, or patterns of mortality after settlement. In turn, patterns of recruitment can …

The ability of miniscule larvae to control their fate and replenish populations in dynamic
marine environments has been a long‐running topic of debate of central importance for …

Sensory abilities and preferences exhibited by mobile larvae during their transition to
juvenile habitats can establish spatial heterogeneity that drives subsequent species …

Abstract Theory suggests that variation in resource supply should propagate up trophic
webs influencing plant–herbivore interactions and abundances. Community regulation …

Abstract Background South America's western coastline, extending in a near-straight line
across some 35 latitudinal degrees, presents an elegant setting for assessing both …

A broad review is provided of factors relevant to enhancing populations of invertebrate
resources and methods promoting their recovery by natural recruitment, restocking or habitat …
