ABSTRACT Direct‐developing species lack the pelagic larval phase which facilitates connectivity in most marine species. Consequently, they tend to exhibit spatially restricted dispersal and increased population structure. When subject to harvesting, this biological constraint increases their vulnerability to localized depletion, as local aggregations ...
