Transport and retention of benthic marine invertebrates in the Southern Tauranga Basin
… the individual and tidal flows. Many coastal benthic marine invertebrate populations have been considered open because of the dispersal potential of a pelagic larval phase, with populations maintained by an external supply of recruits. However, for estuarine populations, recent evidence has …

Behavioral responses of invertebrate larvae to water column cues
Many benthic marine invertebrates have two-phase life histories, relying on planktonic larval stages for dispersal and exchange of individuals between adult populations. Historically, larvae were considered passive drifters in prevailing ocean currents. More recently, however, the paradigm has …

Molecular phylogenetics and the evolutionary history of reproductive strategies in benthic shallow-water octopuses (Cephalopoda: Octopodinae)
… interest to the life history theory of benthic marine invertebrates. One tenet of life history theory for these organisms predicts that the evolution and maintenance of dichotomous reproductive strategies is a fecundity-survival trade-off and environmental factors strongly influence the …

Species-specific patterns in bivalve larval supply to a coastal embayment
… linking reproductive output to recruitment of benthic marine invertebrates. Few species-specific studies of bivalve larvae have been performed due to the lack of suitable methods for species identification. This thesis focused on applying a method to identify larvae from field samples from …

Palaeoecology of the late Permian mass extinction and subsequent recovery
… biotic crises may have delayed the recovery of benthic organisms coinciding with large carbon isotope perturbations at the Lower Triassic sub-stage boundaries. To test these hypotheses, novel palaeoecological data was collected from localities in Hungary, northern Italy, and Svalbard. To …
