Phylogeography of New Zealand's coastal benthos (2009, background): “They observed that the larvae of some species were transported offshore during upwelling as predicted, whereas others were moved shoreward or maintained position relative to the coast despite experiencing the same cross-shelf currents (Shanks & Brink 2005).”
Causes and effects of a highly successful marine invasion: Case-study of the introduced Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas in continental NW European estuaries (2010, background): “This may enable them to more successfully avoid benthic predators, find food-rich water layers (Raby et al., 1994) or transport themselves with the tides into favourable directions (Shanks and Brink, 2005).”
Behavior constrains the dispersal of long-lived spiny lobster larvae (2011, background): “Diel vertical migration alone is apparently sufficient to counteract the offshore advection of slow-swimming bivalve larvae (Shanks & Brink 2005) and crab larvae (Marta-Almeida et al. 2006, Incze et al. 2010) in areas dominated by strong upwelling.”
Foraging behavior can influence dispersal of marine organisms (2007, background): “…transport (Forward and Tankersley 2001) or active swimming against a downwelling current yielding surface transport by internal waves or internal transport by bores (Shanks 1985; Pineda 1999), also suggest that larvae are able to remain relatively close to adult habitats (Shanks and Brink 2005).”
Paradigm lost? Cross-shelf distributions of intertidal invertebrate larvae are unaffected by upwelling or downwelling (2009, unknown): “Several studies have looked at the cross-shore distribution of larval invertebrates during wind-driven upwelling and downwelling in the mid-Atlantic Bight (Garland et al. 2002, Shanks et al. 2002, 2003a, Ma & Grassle 2004, Ma 2005, Shanks & Brink 2005).”
Vertical swimming behavior influences the dispersal of simulated oyster larvae in a coupled particle-tracking and hydrodynamic model of Chesapeake Bay (2008, unknown): “…(~1 to 10 mm s–1) compared to horizontal current velocities (>1 m s–1), recent field and numerical evidence indicates that swimming behavior can influence the direction and intensity of plankter transport and dispersal (Genin et al. 2005, Shanks & Brink 2005, Batchelder 2006, Knights et al. 2006).”
The surf zone: a semi-permeable barrier to onshore recruitment of invertebrate larvae? (2008, background): “For example, stratification of larvae in the water column resulting from physical or biological processes may affect onshore delivery and subsequent recruitment (Pineda, 2000) if currents are also stratified (Marta-Almeida et al., 2006; Shanks and Brink, 2005).”
Unexpected genetic structure of mussel populations in South Africa: indigenous Perna perna and invasive Mytilus galloprovincialis (2007, background): “Such discrepancies are mainly due to the influence of oceanographic conditions on larval behaviour, to reproductive timing and to the availability of suitable habitat in terms of both biotic and abiotic factors (Shanks 1995, Todd 1998, Shanks & Brink 2005).”
Oceanographic and behavioural processes affecting invertebrate larval dispersal and supply in the western Iberia upwelling ecosystem (2007, background): “This swimming behaviour prevents the larvae from being carried seaward in the surface or bottom layers during upwelling or downwelling events respectively, effectively avoiding offshore dispersal (Shanks and Brink, 2005).”
Complexity and simplification in understanding recruitment in benthic populations (2008, background): “For example, larvae may never abandon the very nearshore area, or have vertical distributions that negate offshore drift, and upwelling may actually enhance onshore larval transport, directly by influencing cross-shore circulation (Garland et al. 2002; Shanks and Brink 2005 ), or indirectly by prod”
Diel vertical migration of decapod larvae in the Portuguese coastal upwelling ecosystem: implications for offshore transport (2008, background): “However, the intermittency of upwelling/downwelling events could be an important mechanism to retain decapod larvae inshore as was showed for bivalve larvae off California (Shanks & Brink 2005).”
Climatic variation alters supply‐side ecology: impact of climate patterns on phytoplankton and mussel recruitment (2009, background): “…the effects of processes such as tidal bores, internal waves, current reversals and other processes that operate on scales of hours to days to weeks and are presumably the physical means by which larvae are delivered to the shore (e.g., Pineda 1999, Shanks and Brink 2005, Pineda et al. 2007).”
Causes of decoupling between larval supply and settlement and consequences for understanding recruitment and population connectivity (2010, background): “The effects of coarse- to largescale hydrodynamics on larval supply have been inferred from measurements of larval concentrations and time series of physical measurements that characterize the hydrodynamic processes (e.g., Garland et al., 2002; Shanks and Brink, 2005).”
