The role of individual variation in marine larval dispersal

The exchange of individuals among patchy habitats plays a central role in spatial ecology and metapopulation dynamics. Dispersal (e.g. short vs. long) is frequently observed to vary non-randomly within populations, indicating that variability among individuals may shape heterogeneity in patterns of...
