The planktonic stages of flatfishes: physical and biological interactions in transport processes
Abstract
Flatfish address the problem of connecting between spatially distinct adult spawning areas and juvenile nursery areas through a planktonic larval phase. This strategy minimizes interspecific competition, promotes genetic diversity, and offers opportunities to colonize new habitats, but it comes at the significant risk of wayward advection and settlement to unsuitable nursery areas. Flatfishes have maximized their chances of a successful planktonic gamble by timing production of offspring to co-occur with favourable atmospheric conditions and with oceanographic features that favour survival to settlement. Broad-scale changes in climate-ocean teleconnections threaten to modulate the spatio-temporal relationship between the planktonic larvae and their ocean habitat, including physiological shifts (temperature and developmental timing), ecological changes (circulation and influences on transport trajectory), and behavioural affects (feeding and swimming). Renewed effort to understand these changes and others is called for.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
Flatfish typically have an extensive dispersal phase, during which the larvae undergo radical morphological and behavioural changes.
“They typically have extensive dispersal phase, during which the larvae undergo radical morphological (e.g.asymmetry, eye migration, cranial bones, and pigmentation) and behavioural (e.g.swimming posture) changes (Schreiber, 2013).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
