▪ Abstract The majority of marine populations are demographically open; their replenishment
is largely or exclusively dependent on a supply of juveniles from the plankton. In spite of …

Settlement, early survivorship and growth of two species of reef-building corals were studied
in order to assess the importance of these processes in determining the distribution of adult …

We predicted that both refuge dimension and growth form would influence settlement and
short-term post-setUement success (57 d) of sessile marine invertebrates that live attached …

Species richness, diversity, total biomass of the benthic macrofauna and macroflora and the
biomass of the 2 dominant taxa (Fucus spp and Myt~ lus eduhs) were examined in relation …

Current theory on the population dynamics of marine species with complex life history
patterns posits that a suite of physical and biotic forces (eg, habitat structure and density …

Knowledge of patterns and processes underlying spatia-temporal variability in recruitment,
as well as its relationship with the spawning stock size. is crucial to understand the dynamics …

This study investigated the effects of light, water flow and water temperature on larvae and
early juveniles of 4 shallow-water Caribbean demosponges, Tedania ignis, Haliclona …

Coral recruitment to artifi ial substrata (ceramic tiles) was measured in shallow back-reef (1–
2 m depth) and deeper fore-reef (8–10 m depth) habitats on the island of Moorea, French …

Settlement rates of mussels Mytjlus trossulus and M, edulis on artificial collectors (aquar~
um filter wool) and natural substrata were measured in tidepools and on emergent rock in …

To determine~ f the onset of intertidal 11fe is a critical time for survival, we examined the fate
of newly settled Balanus glandula, an intertidal barnacle, on natural rocky substrata in …
