Is all injury equal Measuring the effect of repeated injury on sediment disturbance by the polychaete Abarenicola pacifica
Meeting Abstract P3.38 Friday, Jan. 6 Is all injury equal? Measuring the effect of repeated injury on sediment disturbance by the polychaete Abarenicola pacifica LINDSAY, S.M.; University of Maine slindsay@maine.edu Past research has shown that injury can decrease activity and sediment disturbance by infaunal polychaetes, thereby influencing sediment-mediated competition, adult-larval interactions and recruitment success in marine soft-sediment […]
