©2026 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.The period of time that larvae spend in the water column, the pelagic larval duration (PLD), has a profound impact on dispersal distance. Characterizing variations in PLD across a population is critical for refined estimates of dispersal, yet this work is rarely done. We conducted an experiment to characterize the PLD of massive Porites larvae in April 2023. Adult massive Porites corals were collected from six sites in Palau immediately prior to their spawning, around the full moon. Collected co...
