  abstract = {{D}ispersal shapes population connectivity and plays a critical role in marine metacommunities. {P}rominent species for coastal socioecological systems, such as jellyfish and spiny lobsters, feature long pelagic dispersal phases ({LPDP}s), which have long been overlooked. {H}ere, we use a cross-scale approach combining field surveys of these species with a high-resolution hydrodynamic model to decipher the underlying mechanisms of {LPDP} patterns in northwestern {M}editerranean shores. {W}e identified basin-scale prevailing dispersal routes and synchronic year-to-year patterns tightly linked to prominent circulation features typical of marginal seas and semienclosed basins, with an outstanding role of a retentive source area replenishing shores and potentially acting as a pelagic nursery area. {W}e show how the atmospheric forcing of the ocean, a marked hydrological driver of the {M}editerranean {S}ea, modulates dispersal routes





and sources of {LPDP} at interannual scales. {T}hese findings represent a crucial advance in our understanding of the functioning of metapopulations of species with {LPDP} in marginal seas and may contribute to the effective management of coastal ecosystem services in the face of climate change.},
