The definitive version was published in Journal of Marine Research 68 (2010): 153-188, doi:10.1357/002224010793079013.Marine larval dispersal is affected by hydrodynamic transport and larval behavior, but little is known about how behavior affects large-scale patterns of dispersal and recruitment. Intertidal habitats are characterized by strong and variable turbulence relative to shelf and pelagic waters, so larval responses to turbulence may affect both dispersal and habitat selection. This study combined observations and theoretical approaches to model gastropod larval responses to multiple physical variables in a well-mixed tidal inlet. Physical measurements and larvae were collected in July 2004 in Barnstable Harbor, Massachusetts (USA). Physical measurements were incorporated in an advection-diffusion model where larval vertical velocity is a function of turbulence dissipation rate, temperature, and the temperature gradient. Modeled larval distributions were fitted to observed concentration profiles by maximum likelihood to estimate larval behavioral velocity (swimming or sinking) as a function of environmental conditions. These quantitative behavior estimates were used to test hypotheses about behavioral differences among groups and to assess the relative impact of different cues on overall larval behavior. Larvae of five common gastropod species from different coastal habitats reacted most strongly to turbulence but had genus-specific responses to environmental cues. Larvae of a species from tidal inlets (the mud snail Nassarius obsoletus) had near-zero velocities under calmer conditions and sank in strong turbulence. In contrast, larvae from exposed beach habitats (Crepidula spp. and Anachis spp.) sank in weak turbulence and swam up in strong turbulence, with additional responses to temperature and temperature gradient. Larval responses also differed between small and large size classes and between flood and ebb tides. Behavior of mud snail larvae would contribute to retention inside the inlet and near adult habitats, whereas behavior of beach snail larvae would contribute to rapid export from muddy inlets lacking suitable adult habitats.This work was funded by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) Coastal Ocean Institute, the WHOI Rinehart Coastal Research Center, the National Science Foundation (NSF OCE- 0326734), NSF and US Office of Naval Research grants to S.

    Mussel larval responses to turbulence are unaltered by larvalage or light condition

    Larval responses to hydromechanical cues potentially have important effects on larval dispersal and settlement. This study examined the behavior of mussel larvae (Mytilus edulis) in laboratory-generated turbulence representative of nearshore currents. We video recorded the behavior of early- and late-stage veligers in a grid-stirred tank at five turbulence levels under light and dark conditions. Water velocities and kinetic energy dissipation rates were measured using particle image velocimetry and acoustic Doppler velocimetry. We characterized the vertical velocity distributions for sinking, hovering, and swimming modes in still water and calculated the average larval behavioral velocity in turbulence. In still water, young larvae had more positive (upward) velocities than old larvae, and both stages had more positive velocities in light than in dark. In turbulence, the mean larval vertical velocity varied from positive at low dissipation rates to negative at dissipation rates above a threshold of 8.3 £ 1022 cm2 s23. At this threshold, the Kolmogorov length scale (h ¼ 590mm) was two to three times the mean larval shell lengths (171–256mm), implying that turbulence is detectable even by larvae that are smaller than the smallest eddies. Responses to turbulence were unaffected by larval age or light conditions and contributed substantial behavioral variation. By sinking in strong turbulence, mussel larvae could increase their flux to the bed in energetic coastal flows, particularly over rough substrates like mussel beds. The response to turbulence by early-stage larvae will also affect their dispersal and may help larvae remain near coastal populations.Peer reviewedOriginally published in Limnology and Oceanography: Fluids & Environments (2011) and available via this link: http://lofe.dukejournals.org/content/1/120.full.pdfCopyright 2011 by the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, Inc

    Situational Barriers Scale in Physical Exercise

    Die Skala SBB bildet das Ausmaß ab, in dem sich eine Person durch zeitlich variable situative Bedingungen ("Barrieren") von ihrer Verhaltensabsicht abbringen lässt, Sport zu treiben. Krämer und Fuchs (2010) unterscheiden zwei Typen von Barrieren gegen das Sporttreiben: negative Konsequenzerwartungen und situative Barrieren. Mit 13 Items werden innere Zustände und umweltseitige Gegebenheiten, die eine Person vom Sporttreiben abhalten können, auf den Skalen (1) Psychosoziale Barrieren, (2) Körperliche Barrieren und (3) Gesamtskala "Sportbezogene situative Barrieren" beschrieben. Reliabilität: Die interne Konsistenz lag bei Cronbachs Alpha = .81 (Gesamtskala) bzw. Alpha = .74 bis Alpha = .82 (Subskalen). Validität: Es wurden hypothesenkonform moderate bzw. geringe Zusammenhänge der Subskalen mit einem Maß für negative Konsequenzerwartungen des Sporttreibens nachgewiesen. "Psychosoziale Barrieren" war zudem in mittlerer Höhe mit sportbezogenen Selbstwirksamkeitserwartungen (r = -.34), der Stärke der Intention, Sport zu treiben (r = -.30) sowie dem Umfang sportlicher Aktivitäten in den letzten vier Wochen (r = -.27) korreliert. Situative Barrieren eignen sich zur Vorhersage des wöchentlichen Sportpensums (prädiktiven Validität), wenn zuvor die Selbstwirksamkeitsüberzeugungen kontrolliert wurden. Negative Konsequenzerwartungen und die Höhe der Selbstwirksamkeit zeigen einen prädiktiven Vorhersagewert auf.The Situational Barriers Scale in Physical Exercise represents the extent to which a person can be dissuaded from their intention to engage in sport by situational conditions that vary over time ("barriers"). Krämer and Fuchs (2010) distinguish between two types of barriers to sports: negative expectations of consequences and situational barriers. Thirteen items are used to describe inner states and environmental conditions that can prevent a person from doing sports on the scales of (1) psychosocial barriers, (2) physical barriers, and (3) total scale "Sports-related situational barriers". Reliability: The internal consistency was at Cronbach's Alpha = .81 (full scale) or Alpha = .74 to Alpha = .82 (subscales). Validity: In accordance with the hypothesis, moderate or low correlations of the subscales with a measure for negative expectations of consequences of sports activities were demonstrated. "Psychosocial barriers" were also correlated at a medium level with sport-related self-efficacy expectations (r = -.34), the strength of the intention to engage in sport (r = -.30) and the extent of sporting activities in the last four weeks (r = -.27). Situational barriers are suitable for predicting the weekly sports workload (predictive validity), if self-efficacy beliefs have been previously controlled. Negative consequence expectations and the level of self-efficacy indicate a predictive value.reviewedpublishedVersio
