“…However, since many oceanographic studies have revealed only weak upwelling along this coast (Roughan & Middleton 2004), it is unlikely that variable upwelling is the only contributing factor to variable settlement. This highly variable settlement could also suggest that larval physiological condition varies significantly within the study region as recent studies have shown larval condition, which can be determined by variable temperature and food concentrations (Desai & Anil 2004), to strongly influence the settlement (Thiyagarajan et al 2002, Tremblay et al 2007) and early post-settlement growth and survival (Thiyagarajan et al 2005, Emlet & Sadro 2006 of larvae. Therefore, local processes may be equally important as regional processes in setting the patterns of adult abundance and potentially the geographic distribution and southern range limit of Tesseropora rosea.…”

Species range limits are often associated with reduced adult densities, and this may reflect the failure of a particular life-history stage. For benthic marine invertebrates, settlement is a time of great mortality that strongly influences adult population structure, at least at local spatial scales. In south-eastern Australia we determined that adult abundance of the intertidal barnacle Tesseropora rosea declines over a 450 km region of rocky shore from the middle to the southern limit of its range, and we tested the hypothesis that this biogeographic pattern reflects variations in the production, settlement, or early post-settlement mortality of larvae or adult mortality. Sampling at 2 sites on 11 rocky shores in this region over 2 yr revealed that none of the life-history stages or demographic processes displayed a latitudinal gradient or a clear decline towards the south, and settlement and adult mortality were highly variable among locations. Indeed local variation in early lifehistory processes and adult mortality appears to dictate regional variability and observed latitudinal patterns of adult abundance of T. rosea, but longer term studies spanning at least a decade may determine if storage from one strong year in recruitment can set patterns of adult abundance.KEY WORDS: Abundant-centre hypothesis · Early post-settlement mortality · Tesseropora rosea · Adult mortality · Geographic distribution · Latitudinal gradient Resale or republication not permitted without written consent of the publisherMar Ecol Prog Ser 412: [141][142][143][144][145][146][147][148][149][150] 2010 although these supply-side processes are often highly variable in space and time (see Underwood & Fairweather 1989, Caley et al. 1996, Hunt & Scheibling 1997, they sometimes reflect latitudinal gradients of temperature, currents, wave exposure and nutrient availability in the ocean (Connolly & Roughgarden 1998, Connolly et al. 2001, Zacherl et al. 2003, Sanford et al. 2006. Consequently, the geographic distribution of benthic marine invertebrates, particularly as a species approaches its range limit, may be strongly influenced by latitudinal gradients in the supply and early life history of larvae. Alternatively, processes operating at more local scales in the post-recruitment environment (e.g. storm events, habitat, microclimates, predation) could override larger scale patterns of recruitment that might determine geographic patterns in adult abundance (Helmuth 1998). Measuring settlement and early post-settlement mortality of benthic marine invertebrates is often difficult, however, because larvae are small and often die soon after settlement. Few studies have measured these early lifehistory processes simultaneously across large geographic scales (but see Caffey 1985, Connolly et al. 2001, Hughes et al. 2002, but such studies can yield important insights into the processes setting the range limits of species.Along the linear coastline of south-eastern Australia, there is great potential for the population size of sessile...

“…For cyprids to settle when their energy content is high is not only a means to increase metamorphosis success but also to increase juvenile growth potential and thus juvenile performance (Jarrett 2003, Thiyagarajan et al 2005, Emlet & Sadro 2006. The effect of cyprid energetic reserves on juvenile growth has been detected up to 12 d after settlement (Jarrett & Pechenik 1997, Thiyagarajan et al 2003.…”

“…Similarly, Jarrett (2003) and Connell (1961) found that cohorts of larger Semibalanus balanoides cyprids re sulted in higher post-metamorphic size and growth rates. Furthermore, total lipids and TAGs, which are predictors of settlement success, post-metamorphic growth and survival in other species (Thiyagarajan et al 2005, Tremblay et al 2007), varied in Scotland at the scale of locations and regions. The actual impact of the observed variations in nutritional traits on metamorphic performance will depend on the post-metamorphic environment (Moran & Emlet 2001, Allen et al 2008, Marshall et al 2010.…”

“…In addition, the nutritional reserves of settling cyprids depend on the time required to find an appropriate substratum for settlement, as cyprids consume reserves over that period. Cyprid physiological traits can define the settlement success (Tremblay et al 2007), metamorphic success and early post-metamorphic survival (Thiyagarajan et al 2005) as well as the number of individuals recruiting to the reproductive cohorts (Torres et al 2016). Hence, quantifying scale-dependent patterns of nutritional reserves at the time of habitat colonization is critical to understanding causes and ecological consequences of phenotypic variation on recruitment.…”
