Variabilidad física en el océano costero y su modulación en la distribución y dinámica poblacional de especies marinas, en particular sobre especies bentónicas sésiles o con limitada movilidad en la fase adulta, y cuyo ciclo reproductivo incluye una fase larval de desarrollo planctónico. La persistencia y variabilidad temporal en la abundancia de poblaciones con este tipo de ciclo de vida están fuertemente influenciadas por los patrones de variabilidad en condiciones hidrodinámicas (corrientes costeras, turbulencia, oleaje) y físico-químicas (temperatura, oxígeno disuelto, disponibilidad de alimento), que determinan ritmos reproductivos, duración del desarrollo planctónico, patrones de dispersión y transporte larval, y finalmente las escalas de conectividad entre poblaciones marinas.
