Development of newly metamorphosed juvenile sea urchins (Strongylocentrotus franciscanus and S. purpuratus): morphology, the effects of temperature and larval food ration, and a method for determining age
Bruce A Miller,Richard B. Emlet +1 more
TL;DR: Desc descriptions of trait development that allow species identification of newly metamorphosed juvenile sea urchins Strongylocentrotus franciscanus and S. purpuratus are presented and a procedure for aging field caught juveniles (≤2 weeks after metamorphosis), provided their thermal history is known, can be adapted for other invertebrates that acquire traits in an orderly fashion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marine event beds and recolonization surfaces as revealed by trace fossil analysis
Robert W. Frey,R. Gold Ring +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an attempt was made to relate each trace to the associated colonization surface, which allowed traces initiated at the normal top of an event bed to be distinguished from traces that subsequently passed into the bed from a higher colonization level or were initiated on the eroded surface of the bed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recruitment of encrusting benthic invertebrates in boundary-layer flows: A deep-water experiment on Cross Seamount
TL;DR: Results suggest that larval settlement may be a function of very small-scale variations in the boundarylayer flow, reflecting, for example, larval supply to the plate, larvae retention on the plate surface, and active larval responses to the flow regime over the plates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Macrofouling in unidirectional flow: miniature pipes as experimental models for studying the interaction of flow and surface characteristics on the attachment of barnacle, bryozoan and polychaete larvae
TL;DR: A very complex interaction among substratum characteristics, flow rates, and larval settlement of marine invertebrates is suggested and the necessity for considering the interaction when one interprets laboratory bioassay data is indicated.

Changes in distribution patterns of 0-group bivalves in the Wadden Sea: Byssus-drifting releases juveniles from the constraints of hydrography
TL;DR: It seems that hydrography ruled the initial settlement of larvae to the sediment and strongly influenced the subsequent redistribution of juveniles caused by passive resuspension in the Wadden Sea, while habitat selection is delayed to the byssus-drifting postlarvae phase.
