Coral reef fish larvae are tiny, exceedingly numerous, and hard to track. They are also highly
capable, equipped with swimming and sensory abilities that may influence their dispersal
trajectories. Despite the importance of larval input to the dynamics of a population, we
remain reliant on indirect insights to the processes influencing larval behavior and transport.
Here, we used genetic data (300 independent single nucleotide polymorphisms) derived
from a light trap sample of a single recruitment event of Dascyllus abudafur in the Red Sea …
