For the larval dispersal case, spatial heterogeneity in recruitment is capped by the density-dependent settler-recruit relationship (Figure 7a).
As noted by Moffitt et al. [25], harvests for a given small fraction of total habitat in reserves are considerably greater for the larval dispersal case than the adult movement case.
As we have just shown that the number of eggs produced will be greater for larval dispersal than adult movement, persistence of these populations will occur at lower closure fractions for the larval dispersal case than for the adult movement case.
Perhaps most importantly, if fishery squeeze occurs (Figures 3d f), patterns of persistence are qualitatively different for the larval dispersal case than the adult home-range case, with the latter requiring large reserve widths and, paradoxically, small fractions of habitat in reserves.
A constraint with the model set-up that may have contributed to the inability to identify a dispersal event for this case is the low resolution of the meteorological data, although over the long distances evaluated this is less likely to have an impact.
In the case of BTV-7, a dispersal event may also have occurred two months prior to its detection.
A plausible dispersal event was determined for five of the six cases examined.
In that case, the large flood of the winter 2003 2004 may have played a central role in the long-distance abiotic-driven seed dispersal event.
EATF cladding tubes are of particular interest because they constitute the first barrier against radioactive fission species dispersal in case of accidental scenario such as LOCA (LOss of Coolant Accident).
In most cases, dispersal is initiated by a single individual, and the other members of the group decide whether or not to follow.
