Millimeter-scale topography facilitates coral larval settlement in wave-driven oscillatory flow.

Millimeter-scale topography facilitates coral larval settlement in wave-driven oscillatory flow.

Larval settlement in wave-dominated, nearshore environments is the most critical life stage for a vast array of marine invertebrates, yet it is poorly understood and virtually impossible to observe in situ. Using a custom-built flume tank that mimics the oscillatory fluid flow over a shallow coral r...
