Behaviour in flow: perspectives on the distribution and dispersion of meroplanktonic larvae in the water column

Anna Metaxas
- 01 Jan 2001 - 
- Vol. 58, Iss: 1, pp 86-98
TLDR
The ability of larvae to behaviourally regulate their position at scales of micrometres to metres when exposed to turbulent fluid motion in the water column, as evidenced in the benthic boundary layer, is unknown.
Abstract
For marine benthic invertebrates with meroplanktonic larvae, the relative importance of hydrodynamics and swimming behaviour in determining larval dispersal in the water column, particularly at sma...

Recent progress in understanding larval dispersal: new directions and digressions

TL;DR: How new findings are motivating paradigm shifts concerning life-history consequences, the openness of marine populations, self-recruitment, and population connectivity are considered are considered, as well as the role of behavior and the significance of variability in space and time are considered.

Larval transport and dispersal in the coastal ocean and consequences for population connectivity

TL;DR: This article is posted here by permission of Oceanography Society for personal use, not for redistribution.

Ecology of sea lice parasitic on farmed and wild fish

TL;DR: The biology and ecology of various louse and host species influence their pathogenicity and epidemiology and this knowledge could be used to take measures to reduce the risks of lice affecting farmed and wild fish.

Locomotion of marine invertebrate larvae: a review

TL;DR: Marine invertebrate larvae swim by using cilia or muscles, or a combination of these, and, owing to the small Reynold's numbers that operate in this size range, their movements are governed by viscous forces rather than inertial ones.

The stochastic nature of larval connectivity among nearshore marine populations.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that larval connectivity is inherently an intermittent and heterogeneous process on annual time scales and that stochasticity arises from the advection of pelagic larvae by chaotic coastal circulations.

A First Course in Turbulence

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a reference record created on 2005-11-18, modified on 2016-08-08 and used for the analysis of turbulence and transport in the context of energie.

Recruitment dynamics in complex life cycles

TL;DR: These findings illustrate how processes in different ecological habitats are coupled and models combining larval circulation with adult interactions can potentially forecast population fluctuations.

Turbulent Diffusion in the Environment

G. T. Csanady
TL;DR: In this article, a simple random walk model is used to describe the effect of particle dispersions through random movement and Brownian motion on the diffusion of particles in a cloud of a small amount of water.
