Although larval ecology has roots as far back as Aristotle, the earliest accurate ideas about
larval recruitment, dispersal, and behavior arose about 150 years ago, during the time of J …

Reproductive processes of seaweeds and patterns of propagule production and release,
dispersal, settlement and recruitment are reviewed. Present interpretations of the adaptive …

In the laboratory, the swimming larvae of benthic marine invertebrates are generally capable
of prolonging their larval period beyond the time that they first become physiologically …

I examined the settlement or recruitment of the barnacle Chthamalus anisopoma at a variety
of scales: temporally, over periods lasting 12 h to 1 mo, and spatially at sites separated by< …

Previous studies demonstrated that understory kelps altered rates of mass and particulate
transport beneath kelp canopies. This study examined the implications of these physical …

A notable recent development in marine ecology has been the suggestion that the size of
demersal populations is limited and that patterns in demersal abundance are determined by …

The relative importance of pre—settlement and post—settlement processes in limiting
recruitment rates of the colonial ascidian Diplosoma similis was established through (1) …

Seagrass plants with associated macrofauna were confined within transparent Perspex
tubes in the field at two Western Australian sites, Cliff Head and Seven Mile Beach, and …

Growth of newly settled purple sea urchins Strongylocentrotus purpuratus was studied using
laboratory rearing of individuals at natural densities, size-frequency analysis of a recently …

Enzyme polymorphisms in the sea urchin Echinometra mathaei were examined to test the
