Larval settlement preference maximizes genetic mixing in the marine bryozoan Bugula stolonifera
Meeting Abstract 12.4 Tuesday, Jan. 4 Larval settlement preference maximizes genetic mixing in the marine bryozoan Bugula stolonifera JOHNSON, C H; Harvard University cjohnson@oeb.harvard.edu Conspecific aggregations in terrestrial and aquatic organisms can have a significant effect on an individual’s survival, growth, and reproductive fitness, particularly if these aggregations are composed of closely related individuals. For many species […]
It’s not what you make; it’s what you keep Biochemical taxation helps explain the gap between laboratory and field measurements of sea urchin larval growth
Meeting Abstract 12.5 Tuesday, Jan. 4 It’s not what you make; it’s what you keep: Biochemical “taxation” helps explain the gap between laboratory and field measurements of sea urchin larval growth GINSBURG, DW*; MANAHAN, DT; University of Southern California dginsbur@usc.edu Many studies have defined the growth of marine invertebrate larvae under controlled laboratory conditions.
