The species ranges of coral reef fishes vary enormously from Indo-Pacific wide to highly endemic. There is also great variation in the early life history characteristics of coral reef fishes (e.g. pelagic larval durations, spawning strategies and swimming abilities). We use individual-based models (IBMs) to simulate the dispersal of coral reef fishes in the Indo-Pacific. The development of dispersal strategies is explored based on ecological and geographical constraints. Simulations are presented for climatic and anthropogenically-induced events. 收起
