The diversity of the morphologies, propulsion mechanisms, flow environments, and
behaviors of planktonic microorganisms has long provided inspiration for fluid physicists …

Internal waves are widespread features of global oceans that play critical roles in mixing and
thermohaline circulation. Similarly to surface waves, internal waves can travel long …

Bacteria play an indispensable role in marine biogeochemistry by recycling dissolved
organic matter. Motile species can exploit small, ephemeral solute patches through …

We present findings from two sets of measurements that quantified currents around and over
the full extent of a giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) forest located at Mohawk Reef, Santa …

Chemical cues mediate many critical life processes, such as feeding, reproduction, and
benthic settling, for aquatic organisms. Depending on the fluid velocity and flow regime …

For reproduction, most fish species adopt external fertilization: their spermatozoa are
delivered in the external milieu (marine-or freshwater) that represents both a drastic …

The emerging field of marine ecomechanics provides an explicit physical framework for
exploring interactions among marine organisms and between these organisms and their …

Climate change redistributes turbulence in both space and time, adding urgency to
understanding of turbulence effects. Many analytic and analog models used to simulate and …

Indo-Pacific corals predominantly reproduce using synchronous mass spawning events to
maximise fertilisation. However, as disturbances continue to thin population densities, the …

Most benthic invertebrates broadcast their gametes into the sea, whereupon successful
fertilization relies on the complex interaction between the physics of the surrounding fluid …
