- Abstract:
- Without an understanding of the interaction between the environment and learning processes that occur early in the life histories of coral reef fishes, we model the dispersal and subsequent recruitment of larvae with little success. As a result, we have little hope of deriving satisfactory fisheries and conservation strategies. Through this Fellowship, I will use four complementary empirical studies in both field and laboratory environments to study the ecology of learning in embryos and larvae of coral reef fishes. I will use results from these studies to then develop and refine Individual-Based Models that managers can employ in the future.
