Influence of hydrodynamics on the larval supply to hydrothermal vents on the East Pacific Rise
… identifications for hydrothermal vent gastropod larvae along the northern East Pacific Rise. Daily and weekly variability in the supply of hydrothermal vent gastropod larvae to two hydrothermal vents, 1.6 km apart on the East Pacific Rise, were quantified concurrently with current velocity …

Biophysical coupling between turbulence, veliger behavior, and larval supply
… were to quantify the behavior of gastropod larvae (mud snails Ryanassa obsoleta) in turbulence, and to investigate how that behavior affects larval supply in a turbulent coastal inlet. Gastropod larvae retract their velums and sink rapidly in strong turbulence. Turbulence-induced sinking …

Adult demography and larval processes in coastal benthic populations intertidal barnacles in Southern California and Baja California
… biological interactions affecting larval dispersal and the demography of juvenile and adult individuals. This thesis focused on nearshore patterns of larval distribution and regional patterns in demography of intertidal barnacles in Southern and Baja California. Horizontal and vertical …

Larval dispersal and population connectivity: implications for offshore renewable energy structures
… arrays could provide stepping-stones for larval dispersal, mediating species range expansions or invasions. As common members of hard-substrate fouling communities and likely colonisers of MREDs, the larval dispersal processes of barnacles (Cirripedia: Thoracia) in the Firth of Lorn (Scotland) …

Temporal variability and vertical structure in larval abundance : the potential roles of biological and physical processes
… processes, and how differentially distributed larvae are advected to potential adult habitats by inner-shelf circulation such as wind-driven upwelling and downwelling. This research capitalized on two sets of larval concentration time series, collected by moored zooplankton pumps, and …
