The consequences of variation in initial settlement vs. post-settlement mortality in rocky intertidal communities

TL;DR: Site consistency argues that either settlement or early post-settlement mortality is determined by specific local physical conditions at a site, such as coastal morphology, internal waves, shore waves, currents, or by consistent abundances of natural enemies.

Sensory environments, larval abilities and local self-recruitment

TL;DR: It is argued that some larvae may use a hierarchy of sensory cues to find suitable settlement sites and that some of the same types of stimuli may be used at more than one spatial scale (as demonstrated for adult salmonid fishes).

Temperature or Transport? Range Limits in Marine Species Mediated Solely by Flow

TL;DR: Results suggest that simple, common flow fields often observed in association with biogeographic boundaries worldwide may have the potential to constrain a species' geographic range, even when suitable habitat outside that range is abundant.

Natural mortality of marine invertebrate larvae

Steven S. Rumrill
- 01 Oct 1990 - 
TL;DR: Results from laboratory investigations suggest that mortality rates change with larval size or age, and theoretical exercises indicate that rates of larval mortality are correlated with duration of the planktonic period.

The Ecology of Intertidal Gastropods

TL;DR: The chapter dwells on the competition and predation due to the distribution and abundance of population of intertidal gastropods, its reproductive biology, and the geographical distribution and influences of gastropod on the structure of interTidal communities.

Light as an ecological factor in the dispersal and settlement of larvae of marine bottom invertebrates

Gunnar Thorson
- 01 May 1964 - 
TL;DR: Larvae of such groups which already in their pelagic phase live in symbiosis with zooxanthellae, do not seem to have another pattern of light-response than larvae of...

SEASAT views oceans and sea ice with synthetic aperture radar

TL;DR: Fifty-one SEASAT synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images of the oceans and sea ice are presented in this paper, showing the area covered, and tables of key orbital information, and listing digitally processed images.

Tropical Territorial Damselfishses: Is Density Limited by Aggression or Recruitment?

TL;DR: The outcomes of these perturbations support a nonequilibrial view of reef fish communities, rather than hypotheses that emphasize the importance of competition among populations usually at carrying capacity.

Observations of oceanic internal and surface waves from the earth resources technology satellite

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS) data to detect surface slicks due to internal wave packets, which are generated at the edge of the continental shelf by semidiurnal and diurnal tidal actions and propagate shoreward.
