This is the first book to provide a detailed treatment of the field of larval ecology. The 13 chapters use state-of-the-art reviews and critiques of nearly all of the major topics in this diverse and rapidly growing field. Topics include:
- patterns of larval diversity
- reproductive energetics
- spawning ecology
- life history theory
- larval feeding and nutrition
- larval mortality
- behavior and locomotion
- larval transport
- dispersal
- population genetics
- recruitment dynamics
- larval evolution
Written by the leading new scientists in the field, chapters define the current state of larval ecology and outline the important questions for future research.
