  abstract = {{W}hich populations are replenished primarily by immigrants (open) and which by local production (closed) remains an important question for management with implications for response to exploitation, protection, and disturbance. {H}owever, we lack methods for predicting population openness. {H}ere, we develop a model for openness and show that considering habitat isolation explains the existence of surprisingly closed populations in high-dispersal species, including many marine organisms. {R}elatively closed populations are expected when patch spacing is more than twice the standard deviation of a species' dispersal kernel. {I}n addition, natural scales of habitat patchiness on coral reefs are sufficient to create both largely open and largely closed populations. {C}ontrary to some previous interpretations, largely closed marine populations do not require mean dispersal distances that are unusually short, even for species with relatively long pelagic larval durations. {W}e predict that habitat patchiness has strong control over population openness for many marine and terrestrial species with a highly dispersive life stage and relatively sedentary adults. {T}his information can be used to make initial predictions about where populations will be more or less resilient to local exploitation and disturbance.},
