Summary

Abstract: We examine the hypothesis that reef fish larvae have some direct influence on
their own dispersal and ability to recruit to their natal reef by tracking
cohorts of bicolor damselfish (Stegastes partitus) from hatching to settlement
onto the reef, about 30d later. We conducted high-resolution sampling during
two consecutive years in a small area (15 km x 20 km) off the west coast of
Barbados, ...
