attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String A circular arena with a 6 m diameter was established in a shallow (< 2 m deep)\nsand patch on the leeward side of Curlew Caye to test alternative hypotheses\nconcerning the habitat characteristics and social cues that E. lori settlers\nmight use to choose sponge habitat. Dye tests were conducted each day to\nmeasure current speed, direction, and to observe mixing. For each experiment,\ntwo habitat types were placed in alternating positions at 60-degree intervals\nalong the arena\\u2019s perimeter (e.g. 3 yellow sponges x 3 PVC pipes) and the\nposition of habitat types was rotated 180o midway through each experiment.\nFollowing a 2 min acclimation period, individual settlers were released from a\nglass jar onto the sand in the center of the arena and allowed to choose from\namong the habitat types being tested. Settlers that did not move from the\ncenter of the arena within 5 minutes of release were excluded from the\nexperiment (n = 82 of 344 fish). Preliminary observations showed that settlers\nremained on their first habitat choice for >24 hours. Thus,\n\\u2018preference\\u2019 was recorded by a snorkeling observer\\u00a0as the first\nhabitat with which a settler made contact. A test ended once the settler made\ncontact with the outer surface of either a sponge or PVC pipe. Data were\nanalyzed using a chi-square goodness of fit test (P = 0.05). Following initial\ntrials, sensory cue manipulations were conducted using the arena to determine\nwhich sensory cues E. lori settlers use when choosing settlement habitat.

attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String Description from NSF award abstract:\nUnderstanding how far young fish move away from their parents is a major goal of marine ecology because this dispersal can make connections between distinct populations and thus influence population size and dynamics. Understanding the drivers of population dynamics is, in turn, essential for effective fisheries management. Marine ecologists have used two different approaches to understand how fish populations are connected: genetic methods that measure connectivity and oceanographic models that predict connectivity. There is, however, a mismatch between the predictions of oceanographic models and the observations of genetic methods. It is thought that this mismatch is caused by the behavior of the young, or larval, fish. The objective of this research is to study the orientation capabilities of larval fish in the wild throughout development and under a variety of environmental conditions to see if the gap between observations and predictions of population connectivity can be resolved. The project will have broader impacts in three key areas: integration of research and teaching by training young scientists at multiple levels; broadening participation of undergraduates from underrepresented groups; and wide dissemination of results through development of a website with information and resources in English and Spanish.\nThe overall objective of the research is to investigate the role of larval orientation behavior throughout ontogeny in determining population connectivity. This will be done using the neon goby, Elacatinus lori, as a model system in Belize. The choice of study system is motivated by the fact that direct genetic methods have already been used to describe the complete dispersal kernel for this species, and these observations indicate that dispersal is less extensive than predicted by a high-resolution biophysical model; E. lori can be reared in the lab from hatching to settlement providing a reliable source of larvae of all ages for proposed experiments; and a new, proven behavioral observation platform, the Drifting In Situ Chamber (DISC), allows measurements of larval orientation behavior in open water. The project has three specific objectives: to understand ontogenetic changes in larval orientation capabilities by correlating larval orientation behavior with developmental sensory anatomy; to analyze variation in the precision of larval orientation in different environmental contexts through ontogeny; and to test alternative hypotheses for the goal of larval orientation behavior, i.e., to determine where larvae are heading as they develop.
