Many aquatic crustaceans pass through a complex life cycle comprising a benthic juvenile-
adult and a pelagic larval phase. In the study of aquatic ecology, meroplanktonic larvae are …

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are important tools for the conservation of marine
biodiversity but their designation and effective monitoring require frequent, comprehensive …

Behavior such as ontogenetic vertical migration (OVM) limits the transport of marine larvae
with short pelagic larval durations (PLDs), but its effect on the supposed long-distance …

A review of the early life history of spiny lobsters was made by Booth and Phillips (1994) and
this review focuses on information which has become available since that time. It also …

The influence of physical oceanographic processes on the dispersal of larvae is critical for
understanding the ecology of species and for anticipating settlement into fisheries to aid …

This study examines the fine‐scale population genetic structure and phylogeography of the
spiny lobster Panulirus homarus in the Western Indian Ocean. A seascape genetics …

The pronghorn spiny lobster, Panulirus penicillatus, is a circumtropical species which has
the widest global distribution among all the species of spiny lobster, ranging throughout the …

Despite the global significance of spiny lobsters, the biology of their planktonic larvae,
especially their carnivorous diet, is very poorly understood. Unsuitable diets and feeding …

The diet of Jasus edwardsii during its~ 2-year larval (phyllosoma) phase is largely unknown.
High mortalities experienced during larviculture might be reduced if their diet were …

Isolated adult populations tend to be interconnected via the larval stage. New Zealand red
rock lobster Jasus edwardsii larvae metamorphose 12 to 24 mo after hatching. Because of …
