Linking behavioural ecology and oceanography: larval behaviour determines growth, mortality and dispersal
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2007-10-11)Highly resolved general circulation models (GCMs) now generate realistic flow fields, and have revealed how sensitive larval drift routes are to vertical positioning in the water column. Sensible representation of behavioural ... -
