Oceanographic and behavioural processes affecting invertebrate larval dispersal and supply in the western Iberia upwelling ecosystem (2007, background): “Possible causes could be turbulence levels preventing settlement during spring tides (Welch et al., 1999), differences in the physiological state of the megalopae (Forward et al., 2001) and density-dependent secondary dispersal (Turner et al., 1997).”
Tide and wind control of megalopal supply to estuarine crab populations on the Portuguese west coast (2006, background): “In crab megalopae competence depends on the physiological stage of the larvae (Forward et al. 2001).”
Contributions of larval biology to crustacean research: a review (2006, background): “…have recently been observed also for several species of brachyuran crabs and other motile crustaceans, suggesting a more widespread occurrence of such control mechanisms for benthic marine species with complex life histories (review by Anger, 2001; Forward et al., 2001; Gebauer et al., 2003).”
