Selection on larval and adult body size in a marine fish: potential evolutionary responses and effects on population dynamics

Creator:

Johnson, Darren W.

Abstract:

Many species have complex life cycles in which a dispersive larval stage is followed by a relatively sedentary adult stage. For such species, reproductive output is often high and large variation in survivorship throughout early life-history phases (eggs and larvae) can lead to dramatic fluctuations in recruitment which may in...
