Impacts of changing ocean circulation, temperature, and food supply on larval recruitment of purple sea urchins in Southern California: A biophysical modeling study

Rachel D. Simons, Daniel K. Okamoto

This study uses biophysical modeling to assess how ocean circulation, temperature, and food supply affect larval recruitment of purple sea urchins in Southern California, finding that adult temperature exposure and larval behavior significantly influence recruitment.
