Spatial variation in the recruitment of sessile marine invertebrates with planktonic larvae
may be derived from a number of sources: events within the plankton, choices made 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 …

The question of how the larvae of benthic marine invertebrates are dispersed can be
addressed from a number of different perspectives and at a variety of spatial and temporal …

A theory of habitat selection is developed which, although fairly general in form, is intended
to apply with some realism to the settlement behavior of planktonic larvae of marine …

The extent to which the distribution of adults is influenced by larval settlement and post—
settlement growth and survival was determined for the arborescent bryozoan Bugula neritina …

The distribution and abundance of organisms exhibiting complex life cycles, like marine
invertebrates, reflect ecological processes operating at all stages in the life history. Few …

Recruitment of sessile marine invertebrates onto small panels at two subtidal sites in
southern Australia varied considerably on all spatial and temporal scales. Recruitment at …

Natural larval settlement on black Perspex settlement panels was analysed for two
experiments (1 and 2) conducted amongst epifaunal assemblages beneath pier pilings at …

The effects of patch size on the abundance of sessile invertebrates were investigated for two
kinds of patchiness in a subtidal habitat in southern Australia: discrete pieces of substratum …

Initial settlement of planktonic propagules may affect the structure of intertidal communities
in some circumstances but not in others. Of the very few studies of initial settlement, most …
