Kilometer-scale larval dispersal processes predict metapopulation connectivity pathways for Paramuricea biscaya in the northern Gulf of Mexico
G. Liu, A. B. Bracco, A. M. Quattrini, S. Herrera
The paper uses physical ocean models and genetic data to show that larval dispersal of Paramuricea biscaya follows westward currents and that stepping-stone dispersal connects distant populations.
