Ascidian cannibalism correlates with larval behavior and adult distribution
TL;DR: Correlation analysis suggests that species specificity of the rejection response has a basis in siphon diameter, egg density, and larval size, but not in number of oral tentacles, or tentacle branching.

Larval habitat choice in still water and flume flows by the opportunistic bivalve Mulinia lateralis
TL;DR: It is hypothesize that peediveligers with characteristic helical swimming paths above the bottom can exercise habitat choice in both still water nad flow, but that the limited swimming ambits of physiologically older periveliger require near-bottom flows to move the larvae between sediment patches so that they can Exercise habitat choice.

Analysis of the spatial variability in abundance and age structure of two infaunal bivalves, Cerasto-derma edule and C. lamarcki, using hierarchical sampling programs
TL;DR: Spatial variability in abundance and age distnbution of 2 infaunal bivalves were quantified using hierarchical sampling programs and showed that for both species a spatial unit contained significantly fewer year classes and the most abundant year class was significantly more abundant than expected by chance.

Spatial and Temporal Variation of a Nearshore Benthic Community in Southern Brazil: Implications for the Design of Monitoring Programs
TL;DR: In this paper, the spatial variation in a soft bottom benthic assemblage was assessed throughout a year in a 10m deep nearshore area of southern Brazil, at three different scales every 2 months, five replicate corer samples (0·008m2) were taken at three random points within two sites (2000m2).
