Sensory environments, larval abilities and local self-recruitment
TLDR
It is argued that some larvae may use a hierarchy of sensory cues to find suitable settlement sites and that some of the same types of stimuli may be used at more than one spatial scale (as demonstrated for adult salmonid fishes).

Predicting self-recruitment in marine populations: biophysical correlates and mechanisms
TLDR
It is concluded that physical factors that result in a departure from unidirectional, depth-uniform water flow provide the opportunity for retention of larvae, and therefore of self-recruitment.
Critical swimming speeds of late-stage coral reef fish larvae: variation within species, among species and between locations
TLDR
Correlations were found between swimming performance and propulsive area, fineness ratio and aspect ratio, and these morphological parameters may prove useful for predicting swimming ability in other taxa.

What the Pelagic Stages of Coral Reef Fishes Are Doing out in Blue Water: Daytime Field Observations of Larval Behavioural Capabilities
Late pelagic stages of coral reef fishes captured with light-traps were individually released during daylight by SCUBA divers in open water, 20-35 m deep, in the Great Barrier Reef Lagoon at three…

Climate change and coral reef connectivity
This review assesses and predicts the impacts that rapid climate change will have on population connectivity in coral reef ecosystems, using fishes as a model group. Increased ocean temperatures are…

The larvae of Indo-Pacific coastal fishes : an identification guide to marine fish larvae
TLDR
This second, revised volume in the Fauna Malesiana Handbook series gives an extensive overview of larval development in 125 fish families from the center of global marine biodiversity: the tropical Indo-Pacific, a region rich in coral reefs, as well as mangrove, estuarine, and coastal shelf habitats.
Vertical distribution of fish larvae in the Great Barrier Reef Lagoon, Australia
  • J. Leis

  • 1 February 1991
The vertical distribution of shorefish — primarily reef fish — larvae in the upper 20 m in relatively shallow (<30 m) waters of the Great Barrier Reef Lagoon near Lizard Island was investigated from…

Behaviour as input for modelling dispersal of fish larvae: behaviour, biogeography, hydrodynamics, ontogeny, physiology and phylogeny meet hydrography
  • J. Leis
  • Environmental Science, Biology
  • 11 October 2007
TLDR
Hydrodynamic, physiological, ontogenetic, phylogenetic and biogeographic factors imply that larval fish behaviour may have more influence on dispersal in warm seas than in cool seas, and this hypothesis requires testing.
