Immediately after reserve implementation, changing the fraction of habitat in
reserves moves the average reproductive capacity on the blue line for a
population with dispersing larvae and sedentary adults. For a population
with adults moving within a home range and non-dispersing larvae, changing
the fraction in reserves moves the reproductive capacity on the red curve.
Consequently, when lifetime egg production is a decreasing, convex function
of harvest mortality, adult movement leads to lower egg production
immediately after reserve implementation than larval dispersal. Per recruit
egg production functions are, respectively, more and less convex for the
harvest-first and spawn-first species, but similar qualitative results are
obtained for these species.
