Funded Activity Summary

Post-settlement mortality as a filter for variable settlement in marine invertebrates. Most marine organisms have a planktonic dispersive stage. Recruitment from this stage into adult populations is a key process. Variations in recruitment affect our ability to manage fisheries, plan national parks, and predict environmental impacts. Our ability to understand variation in recruitment is limited by our poor understanding of one key component of recruitment, post-settlement mortality. I will take several common, economically important, marine invertebrates, and determine how strongly post-settlement mortality affects overall recruitment. By looking at several species, I will be able to identify general patterns applicable to a wider range of species.
