Journal ArticleDOI
Dispersal by macroalgae
TL;DR: Seaweed dispersal is discussed in relation to the properties of the propagules, the parent plant and the water motion, and analogies are drawn between the dispersion and drift of algal propagules and that of smoke particles and fungal spores.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecology of understory kelp environments. II, Effects of kelps on recruitment of benthic invertebrates
TL;DR: Using field manipulations of understory kelp density and substratum orientation, the effect of kelps on invertebrate recruitment was examined and mechanisms involved included reduced flow, increased sedimentation, reduced light intensity and reduced microalgal cover.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pre- and post-settlement determinants of estuarine dungeness crab recruitment'
TL;DR: The results from this study demonstrate that substrate selection can affect distribution of juvenile crab, and that predation is a key factor regulating local population size of early juvenile crabs in intertidal habitats where postlarval supply is relatively high.
Linking larval settlement to larval transport: assumptions, potentials, and pitfalls
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the potentials and pitfalls of using settlement rate time series in posing questions about larval transport, and discuss the processes that generate smooth and peaked settlement time series, and use of settlement time-series in identifying the temporal and spatial scales of physical transport.
Journal ArticleDOI
The consequences of complex larval behavior in a coral
TL;DR: It is found that a suite of larval swimming and settling behaviors, in large part, drives the adult distribution of the leaf coral Agaricia humilis.
