  abstract = {{P}opulations of marine organisms on coral reef islands ({CRI}) are connected in space and time by seawater that transports propagules of plants, animals, and algae. {Y}et, despite this reality, it is often assumed that routine replenishment of populations of marine organisms on {CRI} is supported by locally-sourced propagules (hereafter, larvae). {F}ollowing large disturbances, however, distantly-sourced larvae from less disturbed {CRI} within a regional meta-population are likely to be important for local population recovery, but evaluating the roles of locally-vs. distantly-sourced larvae remains difficult. {W}hile larval sources are relatively well-known for some fishes, they remain virtually unknown for most taxa, particularly those associated with the benthos, as exemplified by scleractinian corals. {T}his review focuses on reef recovery and larval connectivity. {U}sing corals as examples, we argue that {CRI} can serve as natural laboratories in which studies of these issues can enhance understanding of coral reef community dynamics under future disturbance regimes. {R}ather than focusing on synthesizing empirical data, we focus on the capacity for {CRI} to realize their potential in this research area, concluding that progress is impeded by the limited breadth, detail, and spatio-temporal concordance},
