Dispersal of the orange clownfish Amphiprion percula (shown here on coral reef in Kimbe Bay, Papua New Guinea) is largely determined by movements during a pelagic larval stage. Accurate estimates of the distances traveled by larvae from spawning sites is critical to the design and evaluation of networks of marine reserves. Photo by Simon R. Thorrold.
