High levels of connectivity over large distances in the diadematid sea urchin Centrostephanus sylviae.

Most benthic marine invertebrates with sedentary benthic adult phases have planktonic larvae that permit connectivity between geographically isolated populations. Planktonic larval duration and oceanographic processes are vital to connecting populations of species inhabiting remote and distant islan...
