Persistence of Elacatinus lori settlers on sponge habitat. Dataset Description: <p>Persistence of <em>E. lori </em>settlers seeded onto 120 tagged tubes sponges on the fore reef off South Water Caye.</p>
<p>These data were included in Figure 6 and Table 3 of:</p>
<p>Majoris, JE; D'Aloia CC, Francis RK, Buston PM (Accepted) Differential persistence favors habitat preferences that determine the distribution of a reef fish. Behav. Ecol.</p> Acquisition Description: <p>Settlers were seeded onto sponges along the transect to test the hypothesis that the distribution of <em>E. lori </em>settlers is the result of variation in their persistence (i.e., defined here as the time a settler spent on a sponge as a result of mortality and/or movement) across settlement habitats. For each of the 120 tagged sponges, divers recorded the presence or absence of the seeded settler every other day for two weeks (n = 7 observations/settler). New settlers that arrived from the water column and individuals from elsewhere that moved to tagged sponges were identified using differences in size and pigmentation (Figure 3), removed from the sponge, and measured to confirm size (SL). Following completion of the first two-week trial, a second trial was carried out using the same sponges, but with a new group of 120 <em>E. lori</em> settlers.</p>

Collaborative Research: The Role of Larval Orientation Behavior in Determining Population Connectivity

Collaborative Research: The Role of Larval Orientation Behavior in Determining Population Connectivity
<p><em>Description from NSF award abstract:</em><br />
Understanding how far young fish move away from their parents is a major goal of marine ecology because this dispersal can make connections between distinct populations and thus influence population size and dynamics. Understanding the drivers of population dynamics is, in turn, essential for effective fisheries management. Marine ecologists have used two different approaches to understand how fish populations are connected: genetic methods that measure connectivity and oceanographic models that predict connectivity. There is, however, a mismatch between the predictions of oceanographic models and the observations of genetic methods. It is thought that this mismatch is caused by the behavior of the young, or larval, fish. The objective of this research is to study the orientation capabilities of larval fish in the wild throughout development and under a variety of environmental conditions to see if the gap between observations and predictions of population connectivity can be resolved. The project will have broader impacts in three key areas: integration of research and teaching by training young scientists at multiple levels; broadening participation of undergraduates from underrepresented groups; and wide dissemination of results through development of a website with information and resources in English and Spanish.</p>
<p>The overall objective of the research is to investigate the role of larval orientation behavior throughout ontogeny in determining population connectivity. This will be done using the neon goby, Elacatinus lori, as a model system in Belize. The choice of study system is motivated by the fact that direct genetic methods have already been used to describe the complete dispersal kernel for this species, and these observations indicate that dispersal is less extensive than predicted by a high-resolution biophysical model; E. lori can be reared in the lab from hatching to settlement providing a reliable source of larvae of all ages for proposed experiments; and a new, proven behavioral observation platform, the Drifting In Situ Chamber (DISC), allows measurements of larval orientation behavior in open water. The project has three specific objectives: to understand ontogenetic changes in larval orientation capabilities by correlating larval orientation behavior with developmental sensory anatomy; to analyze variation in the precision of larval orientation in different environmental contexts through ontogeny; and to test alternative hypotheses for the goal of larval orientation behavior, i.e., to determine where larvae are heading as they develop.</p>
