Density of Larval Paths

Caption

Density of larval paths from the Northern Line Islands, the closest neighbors of eastern Pacific reefs, modeled over the 1997-98 El Nino. Modeled larvae fall short of making the >5,000 km journey from these potential central Pacific sources of population replenishment to imperiled reefs in the eastern Pacific.
