Marine broadcast spawners have two-phase life cycles, with pelagic larvae and benthic
adults. Larval supply and settlement link these two phases and are crucial for the …

This paper reviews the current state of knowledge of the open waters of the San Francisco
Estuary. This estuary is well known for the extent to which it has been altered through loss of …

Many benthic organisms form very rough surfaces on the seafloor that can be described as
submerged canopies. Recent evidence has shown that, compared with a unidirectional …

Measurements of velocity and rates of turbulence were made across a fringing coral reef in
the Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea, to determine the effect that the rough topography has on …

The hydrodynamics of simulated patches of the Mediterranean seagrass Posidonia
oceanica were studied in laboratory flume experiments in which the height of the pronated …

The ability of miniscule larvae to control their fate and replenish populations in dynamic
marine environments has been a long‐running topic of debate of central importance for …

Flowing water delivers planktonic larvae to surfaces, but also dislodges them. This paper
reviews experiments in the field and in laboratory flumes, as well as mathematical models …

Restoration efforts to enhance Crassostrea virginica oyster populations along the Virginia,
USA, coastline focus on creating benthic habitat suitable for larval recruitment, survival, and …

Marine scientists have made many recent advances in understanding the connections
between the structure of benthic communities, replenishment of populations through …

The “Dutch Energy Agreement” motivates governments and industries to invest in renewable
energy sources, of which offshore wind energy is one of the solutions to meet the agreed …
