The role of wind in controlling the connectivity of blue mussels (Mytilus edulis L.) populations

Abstract Background Larval connectivity between distinct benthic populations is essential for their persistence. Although connectivity is difficult to measure in situ, it can be predicted via models that simulate biophysical interactions between larval behaviour and ocean currents. The blue mussel (...
