  abstract = {{I}n marine benthic ecosystems, larval connectivity is a major process influencing the maintenance and distribution of invertebrate populations. {L}arval connectivity is a complex process to study as it is determined by several interacting factors. {H}ere we use an individual-based, biophysical model, to disentangle the effects of such factors, namely larval vertical migration, larval growth, larval mortality, adults fecundity, and habitat availability, for the marine gastropod {C}oncholepas concholepas (loco) in {C}hile. {L}ower transport success and higher dispersal distances are observed including larval vertical migration in the model. {W}e find an overall decrease in larval transport success to settlement areas from northern to southern {C}hile. {T}his spatial gradient results from the combination of current direction and intensity, seawater temperature, and available habitat. {F}rom our simulated connectivity patterns we then identify subpopulations of loco along the {C}hilean coast, which could serve as a basis for spatial management of this resource in the future.},
