Following disturbances, corals recolonize space through the process of recruitment
consisting of the three phases of propagule supply, settlement, and post-settlement survival …

Abstract The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the strongest source of interannual
global climate variability, and extreme ENSO events are projected to increase in frequency …

It is hypothesized that spatio-temporal variability in larval supply is caused by multiple
biophysical drivers which correlate with the occurrence of recruitment pulses, influencing the …

The sea bass stock around the UK (northern stock) has declined rapidly over the past
decade, likely due to a combination of both overfishing and low recruitment. Understanding …

Four ichthyoplankton cruises and backward tracking experiments were conducted to study
the connectivity of coastal and neritic fish larvae over the continental slope and to the …

Coastal winds transport water masses and larval fish onshore or offshore which may
influence estuarine recruitment, yet our understanding of the mechanism underlying this …

Abstract Partially Protected Areas (PPAs) are a ubiquitous management tool, yet their
ecological effects are often poorly understood. Here, we compare conservation outcomes for …

Drift of propagules occurs within many populations inhabiting flow fields. This affects the
number of propagules that rejoin their source population (recruitment) and plays a role in …

Millions of minute, newly hatched coral reef fish larvae get carried into the open ocean by
highly complex and variable currents. To survive, they must return to a suitable reef habitat …

This paper evaluates the conditions experienced by water-born passive larvae of broadcast
spawning coral and crown-of-thorn starfish and how they self-recruit to their natal reefs in the …
