Detailed knowledge on connectivity, ie the exchange of marine organisms among
geographically separated populations, is essential for effective marine spatial planning …

Within the coastal zone, oceanographic features, such as fronts, can have major effects on
the abundance and distribution of larval fish. We investigated the effects of fronts on larval …

Pre-colonial stonewalled fish traps, an ancient engineering feat in the intertidal region,
represent the earliest proof of human manipulation of the coastline in Southern Africa …

Vertical migration and dispersal processes during the marine crab larval stage markedly
affect transport, habitat selection, population connectivity, and resource replenishment …

Biophysical models are often used to estimate larval dispersal patterns for the assessment of
marine metapopulation spatial structure. However, comparisons of these models with field …

Studies investigating gene flow in sessile or sedentary marine species typically draw
conclusions about larval dispersal by investigating genetic structure of adults. Here, we …

Background Vertical distribution of zooplankton is an important biological factor that can
modulate zooplankton transport, dispersal, and survival in the ocean. Seawater temperature …

Cross‐shore velocities in the coastal ocean typically vary with depth. The direction and
magnitude of transport experienced by meroplanktonic larvae will therefore be influenced by …

To better understand the hydrodynamic and hydrographic conditions experienced by larvae
in the nearshore (within 1 km of shore), and the role that larval behavior plays in mediating …

Since most marine benthic species experience a pelagic larval phase, scales of dispersal
are key determinants of population dynamics. Biologically derived marine foam has been …
