Meeting Abstract S3.2 Monday, Jan. 4 Evolution of morphological and functional novelties among invertebrate larvae – opportunities and limitations EMLET, R.B.; University of Oregon remlet@uoregon.edu Marine invertebrate larvae are well known for their distinctive forms, many of which typify different clades at various hierarchical levels (e.g. gastropod veliger, asteroid bipinaria, actinotroch of phoronids, ascidian tadpole). Also well […]

Empirical evidence of familial conflict in the sea
Meeting Abstract S3.3 Monday, Jan. 4 Empirical evidence of familial conflict in the sea OYARZUN, FX*; GROSBERG, RK; University of Washington, Seattle foyarzun@u.washington.edu In sexually reproducing organisms, family conflict often forms a network of interactions in which the costs and benefits of conflict and cooperation may vary among pathways. Individuals are more related to themselves than to […]
Does life evolve differently in the sea
Meeting Abstract S3.1 Monday, Jan. 4 Does life evolve differently in the sea? GROSBERG, RK; VERMEIJ, G*; University of California, Davis; University of California, Davis rkgrosberg@ucdavis.edu Between 85% and 95% of all living macroscopic species dwell on land; the rest are mainly marine. We argue that the extraordinary diversity on land is geologically recent, dating from the […]
Developmental Variation, Carryover Effects, and the Importance of Scale and Context
Meeting Abstract S3.8 Monday, Jan. 4 Developmental Variation, Carryover Effects, and the Importance of Scale and Context JACOBS, Molly W.*; PODOLSKY, Robert D.; Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution; Grice Marine Laboratory, College of Charleston mjacobs@whoi.edu The life cycles of most metazoan organisms are complex, involving larval stages that are morphologically and ecologically distinct from adult stages. These discrete […]
Climate Change and Invertebrate Microbial Interactions
Meeting Abstract S3.11 Monday, Jan. 4 Climate Change and Invertebrate Microbial Interactions HARVELL, C.D.*; HEWSON, I.; Cornell University; Cornell University cdh5@cornell.edu A frontier of invertebrate biology is the interaction between micro-organisms and their hosts. These interactions span the range from symbiotic to parasitic, and even a single microbe-host interaction can change depending on its environment. Some of […]
Balancing local differentiation and adaptation with dispersal potential limits and opportunities for range extensions, divergence, and invasion
Meeting Abstract S3.9 Monday, Jan. 4 Balancing local differentiation and adaptation with dispersal potential: limits and opportunities for range extensions, divergence, and invasion COHEN, C.S.*; PADILLA, D.K.; San Francisco State University; Stony Brook University sarahcoh@sfsu.edu At an inaugural Larval Ecology summit in 1986, R. Strathmann summarized hypotheses about life history traits potentially associated with dispersal capability, leading […]
What have DNA molecules told us about speciation in the sea
Meeting Abstract S3.2 Tuesday, Jan. 4 What have DNA molecules told us about speciation in the sea? LESSIOS, Harilaos; Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute Lessiosh@post.harvard.edu The study of speciation of marine organisms has received the same boost from molecular information as that of terrestrial ones. Reconstruction of phylogenetic histories, in addition to providing the essential information as to […]
Sympatric speciation in the sea
Meeting Abstract S3.4 Tuesday, Jan. 4 Sympatric speciation in the sea BERNARDI, G.; Univ. of California, Santa Cruz bernardi@biology.ucsc.edu The presence of breeding barriers between populations have traditionally been equated to allopatric modes of speciation. Recently, however, theoretical and empirical evidence has shown that sympatric speciation is not only possible but likely to be more frequent than […]
Speciation in the sea from an algal perspective
Meeting Abstract S3.3 Tuesday, Jan. 4 Speciation in the sea from an algal perspective PHILLIPS, naomi e; Arcadia University phillipsn@arcadia.edu Understanding speciation in the sea has a long and interesting history. However, this has historically been addressed mainly from an animal perspective. We are just beginning to examine these processes for algae or marine plants. This talk […]
Speciation in the sea an introduction to the symposium
Meeting Abstract S3.1 Tuesday, Jan. 4 Speciation in the sea: an introduction to the symposium MIGLIETTA, Maria Pia*; FAUCCI, Anuschka; SANTINI, Francesco; Univ. of Notre Dame; Univ. of Hawaii at Manoa; Univ. of California at Los Angeles mmigliet@nd.edu One hundred and fifty years after the publication of Darwin’s “On the Origin of Species”, speciation remains one of […]
