It is well known that larger females have higher fecundity, and recent laboratory studies have shown that such maternal traits as age and size can be positively associated with offspring growth, size and survival. Whether such fecundity and maternal effects translate into higher recruitment in marine populations remains largely unanswered. We studied a population of Amphiprion chrysopterus (orange-fin anemonefish) in Moorea, French Polynesia, to test whether maternal size influenced the degree of self-recruitment on the island through body size - fecundity and / or additional size-related maternal effects of offspring.  We non-lethally sampled 378 adult and young juveniles at Moorea and through parentage analysis identified the mother of 27 self-recruits (out of 101 recruits sampled). We also identified the sites occupied by each mother of a self-recruit, and taking into account variation in maternal size among sites we found that females that produced self-recruits were significantly larger than those that did not (~ 7% greater TL, ~20% greater biomass).   Our analyses further reveal that the contribution of larger females to self-recruitment was significantly greater than expected based on the relationship between body size and fecundity, indicating there were important maternal effects of female size on traits of their offspring.  These results show for the first time in a natural population that larger female fish contribute more to local replenishment (self-recruitment) and, more importantly, that size-specific fecundity alone could not explain the disparity.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1736</style></issue><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LTER.2012-86921</style></accession-num></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Leray, M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Beldade, R.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Holbrook, S.J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schmitt, R.J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Planes, S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bernardi, G.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Isolation and characterization of 13 polymorphic nuclear microsatellite primers for the widespread Indo-Pacific three-spot damselfish, Dascyllus trimaculatus, and closely related D. auripinnis</style></title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MCR</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009</style></year></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;Go to ISI&gt;://000262678900047</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">213-215</style></pages><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1755-098X</style></isbn><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A set of 13 simple sequence repeat markers was developed from D. trimaculatus genomic DNA, tested for D. auripinnis and characterized using 40 individuals per species. All the loci were polymorphic with a number of alleles ranging from three to 30. Observed heterozygosities varied from 0.23 to 0.89 for D. trimaculatus and from 0.11 to 0.85 for D. auripinnis. Early results show that these will be powerful markers for the study of ecological and evolutionary mechanism in this coral reef fish species complex.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LTER.2009-83521</style></accession-num></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Beldade, R.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Holbrook, S.J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schmitt, R.J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Planes, S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bernardi, G.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Isolation and characterization of eight polymorphic microsatellite markers from the orange-fin anemonefish, Amphiprion chrysopterus</style></title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MCR</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">333-335</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eight polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized from the orange-fin anemonefish (Amphiprion chrysopterus).

High variability suggests that these markers should be useful to study paternity, population structure, and connectivity in this species.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LTER.2009-83538</style></accession-num></record></records></xml>
