Notes

Abstract:
"The focus of this research was to better understand some of the factors that may limit local-scale recovery of Diadema antillarium throughout the Caribbean. Using a shallow water bay in St, Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands as a model system with contrasting densities of the urchin at different sites, we sought to explore the influence of larval supply and post-settlement movement in creating a patchy mosaic of contrasting D. antillarum densities on a local scale."--(L. 8)
