Oceanography promotes self-recruitment in a planktonic larval disperser
The application of high-resolution genetic data has revealed that oceanographic connectivity in marine species with planktonic larvae can be surprisingly limited, even in the absence of major barriers to dispersal. Australia's southern coast represents a particularly interesting system for studying planktonic larval dispersal, as the hydrodynamic regime of the wide continental shelf has potenti...
متن کاملField estimates of planktonic larval duration in a marine invertebrate
Planktonic larval durations (PLDs) affect the ecology and evolution of benthic marine populations through their effects on dispersal distance, the spread of sibling larvae, the level of larval mortality, and population connectivity. Despite the importance of PLDs, field estimates of PLDs in marine invertebrates are rare and restricted to specific taxa. The size of the first postmetamorphic feed...
متن کاملSensory Environments, Larval Abilities and Local Self-recruitment
Models of larval dispersal rarely incorporate the behavior of larvae, yet many potential settlers of marine invertebrates and fishes may navigate toward suitable settlement sites by responding to gradients of environmental stimuli. Accordingly, a variety of stimuli may be used for navigation (directed movements to the source of stimuli) and partial navigation (e.g., migration to a current that ...
متن کاملPersistence of self-recruitment and patterns of larval connectivity in a marine protected area network
The use of marine protected area (MPA) networks to sustain fisheries and conserve biodiversity is predicated on two critical yet rarely tested assumptions. Individual MPAs must produce sufficient larvae that settle within that reserve's boundaries to maintain local populations while simultaneously supplying larvae to other MPA nodes in the network that might otherwise suffer local extinction. H...
متن کاملA Biophysical Retention Mechanism for Self-Recruitment : Direct Evidence from Tracking Coral Reef Fish Larval Patches
The hypothesis that reef fish larvae have some influence on their dispersal is examined by direct observations of pelagic processes. For this purpose, we utilized highresolution and quasi-synoptic measurements of current and ichthyoplankton fields in the vicinity of the island of Barbados, West Indies. The study was conducted during May of 1996 and 1997, in an area extending approximately 15 km...
