• Behaviour as input for modelling dispersal of fish larvae: behaviour, biogeography, hydrodynamics, ontogeny, physiology and phylogeny meet hydrography (2007, background): “Species-specific patterns are an overriding theme in behavioural studies (see reviews by Leis & McCormick 2002, Leis 2006).”
• Temperature influences swimming speed, growth and larval duration in coral reef fish larvae (2004, background): “Replenishment of adult populations in many marine fishes occurs through a pelagic larval phase and reef fish larvae can potentially modify their patterns of dispersal during this phase using active swimming behaviour (Leis and McCormick, 2002).”
• Swimming ontogeny of larvae of four temperate marine fishes (2005, background): “Work to date on swimming capabilities of larvae of demersal fish species has concentrated on larvae nearing settlement (Leis & McCormick 2002, Jenkins & Welsford 2002, Trnski 2002, Leis & Carson-Ewart 2003).”
• Swimming speeds of larval coral reef fishes: impacts on self-recruitment and dispersal (2005, background): “For coral reef fishes, recent findings have shown that larvae have well-developed sensory abilities and may have the potential to locate reefs and actively search for suitable settlement sites (see recent reviews by Montgomery et al. 2001, Kingsford et al. 2002, Leis & McCormick 2002).”
• Sound detection in situ by the larvae of a coral-reef damselfish (Pomacentridae) (2002, background): “The reasons are obvious: reefs are noisy places, sound travels well under water and at least the otoliths of larval fishes, if not functional auditory senses, are present at a very early stage in larval development (Cato 1978, 1992, Leis et al. 1996, Leis & McCormick 2002).”
• Ecology of Anguilliform Leptocephali: Remarkable Transparent Fish Larvae of the Ocean Surface Layer (2009, background): “There is increasing evidence that larval swimming behavior and self-recruitment are important for many coral reef fishes (see Leis 2002, 2006; Leis and McCormick 2002; Leis and Carson-Ewart 2003), so it is likely important for some marine eels as well.”
• Undisturbed swimming behaviour and nocturnal activity of coral reef fish larvae (2003, background): “…WORDS: Reef fish larvae · Larval behaviour · Swimming activity Resale or republication not permitted without written consent of the publisher Mar Ecol Prog Ser 263: 177–188, 2003 durance both at settlement and during development (Fisher et al. 2000, reviewed in Leis & McCormick 2002).”
