• Upwelling, downwelling, and cross-shelf transport of bivalve larvae: test of a hypothesis

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 302:1-12 (2005)

  Larval supply affects the structure of marine communities. Cross-shelf transport of larvae by upwelling and downwelling may cause variation in larval supply. We tested the hypothesis that…

• Larval accumulation in the lee of a small headland: implications for the design of marine reserves

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 318:19-29 (2006)

  Oceanic currents and larval accumulation potentially have large impacts on the choice of locations for marine reserves. Larval settlement of benthic invertebrates was greater in the lee than on the…

• Reproductive ecology and dispersal potential of varnish clam Nuttallia obscurata, a recent invader in the Northeast Pacific Ocean

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 320:195-205 (2006)

  The fecundity, larval development, and temperature and salinity tolerances were determined for the varnish clam Nuttallia obscurata (Reeve 1857), a recently introduced species in the Northeast…

• Biological and physical coupling in the lee of a small headland: contrasting transport mechanisms for crab larvae in an upwelling region

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 324:185-196 (2006)

  Delivery mechanisms for crab postlarvae along upwelling coasts have been inferred from weekly sampling, but more frequent sampling is needed to better relate highly variable oceanographic conditions…

• Dungeness crab Cancer magister zoeal distributions across time and space in the northern California Current

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser

  Early pelagic larval stages play a critical role in shaping recruitment variability of Dungeness crab Cancer magister / syn. Metacarcinus magister , yet zoeal distributions across the Northern…

• Consistent long-term spatial gradients in replenishment for an island population of a coral reef fish

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 306:247-256 (2006)

  The population replenishment of marine organisms is routinely characterized as highly variable and unpredictable in space and time. Using island-wide recruitment surveys of a common coral reef fish,…

• Genetic identification of Caribbean scleractinian coral recruits at the Flower Garden Banks and the Florida Keys

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 306:133-142 (2006)

  Larval recruitment is the foundation for future coral populations. However, difficulties in accurately identifying the species of recruits confound our understanding of relationships between…

• Genetic evidence for mixed modes of reproduction in the coral Pocillopora damicornis and its effect on population structure

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 306:115-124 (2006)

  Allozyme electrophoresis of 6 polymorphic loci was used to estimate the relative importance of sexual and asexual reproduction in Western Australian populations of the coral Pocillopora damicornis and…

• Estimating the dispersal potential of polychaete species in the Southern California Bight: implications for designing marine reserves

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 316:105-113 (2006)

  Using known and inferred life-history information, we estimated the dispersal potential of 501 polychaete species sampled during a 1998 monitoring study in the Southern California Bight. We tested the…

• Dispersal of Owenia fusiformis larvae by wind-driven currents: turbulence, swimming behaviour and mortality in a three-dimensional stochastic model

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 311:47-66 (2006)

  A Lagrangian stochastic larva tracking model based on a 3-dimensional (3D) high resolution wind-driven coastal circulation model is used to study the dispersal of benthic larvae. The larva tracking…

• Larval dispersal reveals regional sources and sinks in the Great Barrier Reef

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 308:17-25 (2006)

  We analysed simulated connectivity patterns for reef fish larvae in the Cairns section of the Great Barrier Reef, and identified 2 key subregions that exhibit regional scale source–sink dynamics. The…

• Mesoscale variation in reproduction, recruitment and population structure of intertidal mussels with low larval input: a bay/open coast comparison

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 327:193-206 (2006)

  Several studies suggest invertebrate recruitment is affected by coastal configuration, implying effects on population structure. Mesoscale (1 to 100 km) variability in spawning and recruitment of…
