![]() ![]() However, a lack of observation and modeling data at large spatial scales has limited our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of match-mismatch dynamics. Nonetheless, a match in timing of larval and prey production has been shown to have the potential for positive effects on year-class strength. predators) factors can influence larval and juvenile mortality, thereby lowering recruitment potential. wind forcing, pollution) and biological (e.g. However, there is evidence that a good match between prey and consumer does not necessarily lead to high recruitment. The match-mismatch hypothesis is often used to explain annual variations in recruitment in both terrestrial and marine ecosystems.
