“…Nevertheless, our results from SS and immediately adjacent DS reefs suggest that habitat variation associated with depth can influence habitat suitability across distances of only a few kilometers. Additionally, reefs in the Florida Keys are oceanographically connected to MP reefs at Pulley Ridge and connectivity is likely for S. partitus populations (Vaz et al 2016), suggesting that some processes that vary over geographic distances may confound the influence of depth on S. partitus populations while others such as connectivity and isolation can be excluded. Energetic trade-offs of demersal reef fishes are influenced by processes that can vary monotonically with depth such as temperature (Goldstein et al 2016a) or oceanographically driven diet and food availability (Leichter et al 1998), yet are likely mediated by patchy and less spatially predictable parameters such as predation risk.…”

“…S1). MP sites are geographically separated from SS and DS locations by *200 km, but oceanographic currents connect the two regions (Vaz et al 2016). Stegastes partitus is a common territorial demersal reef fish with a small home range, and identifiable feeding, aggression, courtship, and reproductive behaviors (Myrberg 1972).…”

“…Recent biophysical modeling work by Vaz et al () has provided a positive test for the above hypothesis by finding mesophotic–shallow coral reef connections by sporadic pulses of bicolor damselfish larvae settling in the Dry Tortugas and the Florida Keys, which supports the idea that Pulley Ridge can serve as a refugium for coral reef fauna and flora.…”

“…Despite the advancement of the understanding of how physical mechanisms drive the connections between Pulley Ridge and other reefs (Vaz et al, ), this knowledge is restricted to studies using hydrodynamic models, and there is a lack of direct measurements of connection pathways at large scales. The surface ocean circulation exerts first‐order constraints on surface tracer transport, and in order to understand how different habitats are connected within the GoM, it is important to better understand the surface Lagrangian transport.…”

“…Further, reef fish are sensitive to extraction and loss of reef structure and adjacent habitats, including the coral-seagrass-mangrove complex. In Florida, eddies associated with coastal currents transport larval invertebrates, including coral, shrimp, and fish from local spawning grounds (e.g., Tortugas, Pulley Ridge Reefs) to Florida Reef Tracts (Lee and Williams 1999;Sponaugle et al 2005;Ault et al 2014;Shulzitski et al 2016;Vaz et al 2016) and local estuaries (e.g., Florida Bay pink shrimp; Criales et al 2007). Thus, predictions of a slowing AMOC and Gulf Stream system under climate change that reduce the Florida and Loop currents by 25% and weaken accompanying gyres are likely to have wideranging consequences for population dynamics, fisheries management, and overall secondary productivity of Florida's coral reefs and associated estuary, bay, and lagoon ecosystems.…”
