Coral reef fish populations can persist without immigration.
Determining the conditions under which populations may persist requires accurate estimates of demographic parameters, including immigration, local reproductive success, and mortality rates. In marine populations, empirical estimates of these parameters are rare, due at least in part to the pelagic dispersal stage common to most marine organisms. Here, we evaluate population persistence and turn...
متن کاملPrimacy of seascape connectivity effects in structuring coral reef fish assemblages
Connectivity has fundamental consequences for the productivity, persistence and management of coral reefs. The area and position of adjacent mangroves and seagrass can affect the demography of reef fish populations and the composition of reefal assemblages. To date, no studies have attempted to partition the influences of these habitats on reef fish assemblages. We used an exploratory seascape ...
متن کاملObserved and simulated swimming trajectories of late-stage coral reef fish larvae off the Florida Keys
The supply of coral reef fish larvae from the open ocean to nearshore reefs is vital for the persistence of local fish populations. Larvae that are competent to settle are often fast swimmers, and their transport to suitable settlement habitat may depend on swimming behavior as well as currents. Our goal was to measure the effects of swimming behavior during the final period of larval transport...
متن کاملAre populations of coral reef fish open or closed ?
Camilo Mora* Peter F. Sale Dept of Biology, University of Windsor, Windsor, ON, Canada N9B 3P4. *e-mail: moracamilo@ hotmail.com DISPERSAL (see Glossary) is one of the most important life-history traits involved in species evolution and persistence [1–4]. It is also the primary determinant of CONNECTIVITY among local populations, which is a vital parameter for conservation strategies based on p...
متن کاملSpatial and temporal distribution of larvae of coral reef fishes in northern Red Sea, Egypt
The larval community of coral reef fishes in the Red Sea was studied in coastal and offshore sites to determine the effects of the exposure to waves and currents and the distance from the shore in structuring the larval fish community. Plankton sampling from inshore and offshore sites and the exposed and sheltered sides of the reefs resulted in the collection of 2048 larvae representing 49 diff...
