  abstract = {{F}reshwater gobies of tropical islands are amphidromous : adults reproduce in rivers and larvae passively drift down to the sea immediately after hatching. {D}escribing the phenology of this larval drift is essential to understanding the population dynamics of amphidromous gobies and to developing ecologically based recommendations for managing the watersheds. {T}he larval drift patterns of two amphidromous gobies of {R}union {I}sland, {S}icyopterus lagocephalus and {C}otylopus acutipinnis, were studied on a monthly basis for 1 year using plankton nets at two sites on the {M}at {R}iver, located 20 km and 7 km from the river mouth. {G}enetic analyses showed that larval assemblages were dominated at 90% by {S}. lagocephalus, although the proportion of {C}. acutipinnis increased during early summer. {O}ur findings highlighted a marked larval drift peak in full austral summer. {T}he diel larval drift dynamic was described using periodic linear models. {A} diel pattern was only observed downstream, peaking a few hours after sunset. {F}inally, this study presents a new approach that improves standard methods for sampling and analyzing larval drift of amphidromous species.},
