This is the first book to provide a detailed treatment of the field of larval ecology. The 13 chapters use state-of-the-art reviews and critiques of nearly all of the major topics in this diverse and rapidly growing field. Topics include: patterns of larval diversity reproductive energetics spawning ecology life history theory larval feeding and nutrition larval mortality behavior and locomotion larval transport dispersal population genetics recruitment dynamics larval evolutionWritten by the leading new scientists in the field, chapters define the current state of larval ecology and outline the important questions for future research.
