Recruitment in marine species with pelagic larvae is sensitive to variation in larval supply,
settlement rates, and early settler mortality, but the relative contribution of these processes to …

In open populations, larval settlement dynamics may be an important determinant of
subsequent distribution and abundance of juveniles and adults. A correlative and …

It has often been regarded that the greatest influence on population dynamics of invertebrate
broadcast spawners will be physical and biological processes acting to control the dispersal …
