Predicting fish recruitment from juvenile abundance and environmental indices [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2013 Prediction of year-class strength is a critical challenge for fisheries managers. Theo- retically, predictions of recruitment should be better when they are based on estimates of cohort size taken close to the age of recruitment and may improve if the effects of environmental factors that influence pre-recruit mortality are accounted for.

The German Bight (North Sea) is a nursery area for both locally and externally produced sprat juveniles [PDF]
, 2009 To better understand the role of the German Bight (GB) as a nursery area for juvenile North Sea sprat Sprattus sprattus we sought to determine whether the area may receive only locally or also externally produced offspring.

Host Abundance, Juvenile Survival, and Oviposition Preference in Battus philenor [PDF]
Evolution, 1980 Many phytophagous insects are highly specific with respect to the plants on which they lay eggs, restricting oviposition to plant species within one family or group of related families (Brower and Brower, 1964; Ehrlich and Raven, 1964; Eastop, 1973), or even to species or groups of species within a particular family or genus (Singer, 1971; Janzen, 1974;

First insights into coral recruit and juvenile abundances at remote Aldabra Atoll, Seychelles
PLOS ONE, 2021 Coral recruitment and successive growth are essential for post-disturbance reef recovery. As coral recruit and juvenile abundances vary across locations and under different environmental regimes, their assessment at remote, undisturbed reefs improves our understanding of early life stage dynamics of corals.

Vertical distribution and abundance of juvenile cephalopods in Aegean Sea
Scientia Marina, 2003 This study was carried out in northern (Saros Bay) and southern (Gökova Bay) parts of the Aegean Sea. In pelagic samplings, Hamburg Plankton Net (HPN) was used. Samplings were done out at four different periods of a 24 hour day; sunrise, noon, sunset and midnight. Horizontal hauls were carried out at depths of 100, 350 and 650 m.

Diversity, 2011 A comparison of the community structure of juvenile hermatypic corals of 2 to 37 m depth at the fringing reefs of Curaçao between 1975 and 2005 shows a decline of 54.7% in juvenile coral abundance and a shift in species composition.

Connectivity between coastal habitats of two oceanic Caribbean islands as inferred from ontogenetic shifts by coral reef fishes [PDF]
, 2003 Mangroves and seagrass beds are considered important nursery habitats for juveniles of coral reef fishes. Studies have mostly focused on the fish community of just one habitat, so the connectivity between different coastal habitats is often unclear.

A two-species stage-structured model for West Nile virus transmission [PDF]
, 2017 We develop a host–vector model of West Nile virus (WNV) transmission that incorporates multiple avian host species as well as host stage-structure (juvenile and adult stages), allowing for both species-specific and stage-specific biting rates of vectors ...

Egg size and food abundance interactively affect juvenile growth and behaviour [PDF]
Functional Ecology, 2010 Summary1. Comparative evidence from several animal taxa suggests that juveniles hatching from larger eggs have fitness benefits when growing up in a harsh environment, whereas under benign conditions egg size should be of less importance. However, the physiological and behavioural mechanisms responsible for these context‐dependent fitness differences ...
