Early life history traits and recruitment patterns of caribbean wrasses (labridae)
Su Sponaugle,Robert K. Cowen +1 more
TL;DR: Eight closely related coral reef fishes (wrasses in the family Labridae) are selected to examine the temporal and spatial patterns of juvenile recruitment to the Caribbean island of Barbados to study the relationships among patterns of recruitment, early life history traits, and aspects of the physical environment.

TL;DR: A survey was conducted during the summer of 1994 within a fairly homogeneous 12.5 ha area of sandflat off Wiroa Island, in Manukau Harbour, New Zealand to identify factors controlling the spatial distributions of the two dominant bivalves, Macomona liliana Iredale and Austrovenus stutchburyi (Gray), and to look for evidence of adult-juvenile interactions within and between species as mentioned in this paper.

Hydrodynamically induced synchronous waving of seagrasses: ‘monami’ and its possible effects on larval mussel settlement
Raymond E. Grizzle,Raymond E. Grizzle,Frederick T. Short,Carter R. Newell,H. M. Hoven,Linda Kindblom +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that ‘monami’ (mo = aquatic plant) is important in coastal hydrodynamics and has major implications for larval settlement and recruitment and has been shown to dramatically alter aerodynamical conditions within and above the grass canopy.

Recolonization and succession in soft-sediment infaunal communities: the spatial scale of controlling factors
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the spatial scales at which different factors operate, and argue that the relative mix and intensity of factors controlling succession change at different spatial scales, as a result, successional dynamics may vary considerably as the spatial scale of disturbance increases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differentiation of estuarine and offshore marine deposits using integrated ichnology and sedimentology: Permian Pebbley Beach Formation, Sydney Basin, Australia
TL;DR: In this article, the authors integrate ichnology and sedimentology to refine the palaeoenvironmental and sequence stratigraphic interpretations of the Early Permian Pebbley Beach Formation.
