So what? Entire suite of biological processes such as resilience to disturbance, spread of invasive species or disease, sustainability of fisheries, conservation strategies, and local biodiversity all depend on connectivity

Basic Life History in the Sea Oceanic larvae Site selection & metamorphosis Adult phase Planktonic larval dispersal Roughly 80% of all marine organisms (> 90,000 currently described species of vertebrates, invertebrates & algae) have a biphasic life cycle and produce planktonic propagules.   Thorson (1964)

Disproportionate value of BIG fish
Disproportionate value of BIG fish A single 28lb fish =  212  2.4lb fish (513lbs total)
Exponential reproduction of BIG fish Age/size of breeding fish Number of offspring
Disproportionate value of BIG fish Larvae of big fish grow nearly 3 times faster and can survive starvation for more than twice as long! Same number of babies, BUT...

  1. The exchange of individuals between populations of a species is also known as population connectivity, and it plays important roles on different time scales. To visualize the effects of population connectivity over time, let’s imagine that Pacific cleaner wrasses, that are abundant in the South Pacific, once migrated here from New Guinea soon after the emergence of the Hawaiian Islands. If this migration continued, then recruits from the South Pacific would contribute to the population size and genetic structure of the Hawaii population. For some reason, migration between the populations ceased, and eventually the two populations diverged enough to become separate species. Therefore, on ecological time scales population connectivity shapes population dynamics, while on evolutionary timescales, it’s central to processes such as speciation.

  5. One application of larval dispersal is towards marine conservation. There has been growing interest in the establishment of marine protected areas to: preserve critical habitat encourage recovery of depleted fisheries and to even augment stocks outside the boundary of the reserve through the export of juveniles and/or adults from the MPA to outer areas. The potential for these objectives to be met can be improved by resolving the pattern and degree of exchange between populations prior to reserve establishment.

  12. For example, based on the finding that, in general, propagules either dispersed <1 km or >20 km, a group of researchers suggested that reserves be between 4-6 km in diameter and spaced 20 km apart. In theory, this would allow short dispersers to settle within the reserve and allow for longer range ones to be transported to adjacent reserves. So, once again, the effective design of MPAs relies in part on our understanding of larval dispersal and population exchange.
