Larval behaviour, dispersal and population connectivity in the …
2020年6月30日 · We hypothesize that the vertical swimming ability of deep-sea larvae, before they permanently settle at the bottom, is one way larvae can control dispersal. We test this hypothesis with more...
Recent progress in understanding larval dispersal: new directions …
2006年6月1日 · Questions about larval transport focus largely on (a) where they go [dispersal] and (b) where they come from [connectivity]. Mechanisms of transport have been intensively studied in recent decades. As our ability to identify larval sources develops, the consequences of connectivity are garnering more consideration.
We hypothesize that the vertical swimming ability of deep-sea larvae, before they permanently settle at the bottom, is one way larvae can control dispersal. We test this hypothesis with more...
the study of larval dispersal are the age-old queries “Where do larvae go?” and “Where do settling larvae come from?” The first of these is the more traditional view of larval dispersal. We ask how far do larvae travel and what are the factors that influence transport? What are the roles of developmental traits, timing and
Larval dispersal predictions are highly sensitive to hydrodynamic ...
2024年12月2日 · In this paper, we demonstrate that larval dispersal estimates at management scales are strongly affected by these choices. Using three different hydrodynamic models of the Great Barrier Reef, we estimated the dispersal of crown-of-thorns starfish larvae in the spawning seasons between 2018 and 2021.
Larval Dispersal and Marine Population Connectivity
The small size of larvae coupled with the vast and complex fluid environment they occupy hamper our ability to quantify dispersal and connectivity. Evidence from direct and indirect approaches using geochemical and genetic techniques suggests that …
Fitness consequences of marine larval dispersal: the role of ...
2024年9月30日 · Dispersal can evolve as an adaptation to escape competition with conspecifics or kin. Locations with a low density of conspecifics, however, may also lead to reduced opportunities for mating, especially in sessile marine invertebrates with proximity-dependent mating success.
Impact of larval behaviors on dispersal and connectivity of sea …
2021年7月1日 · Our results indicate that the larval vertical migration in the OML can significantly influence the dispersal and settlement of scallop larvae over GB/GSC and SNE, as well as larval transport to the MAB.
Patterns, causes, and consequences of marine larval dispersal
2015年11月10日 · Quantifying the probability of larval exchange among marine populations is key to predicting local population dynamics and optimizing networks of marine protected areas. The pattern of connectivity among populations can be described by the measurement of a …
The influence of larval migration and dispersal depth on …
2017年9月1日 · Three possible larval dispersal strategies were evaluated for larvae with a Planktonic Larval Duration (PLD) of 395 days: (1) demersal drift, (2) dispersal near the surface early in larval life followed by an extended demersal period before settlement, and (3) dispersal near the surface until just before settlement.
