How Life History Characteristics and Environmental Forcing Shape Settlement Success of Coral Reef Fishes

Larval settlement is shaped by the interaction of biological processes (e.g., life history strategies, behavior etc.) and the environment (e.g., temperature, currents etc.). This is particularly true for many reef fishes where larval stages disperse offshore, often spending weeks to months in the pe...
