Swimming in an Unsteady World.
M. A. R. Koehl,T. Cooper +1 more
TL;DR: Individual-based models of larvae that were swimming, passively sinking, passively rising, or were passive and neutrally buoyant were used to determine how their trajectories were affected by their motion through the water, rotation by local shear, and transport by ambient flow.

Crypsis in Paraxanthus barbiger (Decapoda: Brachyura): Mechanisms Against Visual Predators
TL;DR: Observations indicated that cryptic responses of this species might reduce predation-mediated mortality through color pattern disruption of individuals with respect to their environment, and laboratory experiments demonstrated that newly settled P. barbiger actively select heterogeneous substrata.

Effects of substratum instability on locomotion and pedal laceration in Metridium senile (Anthozoa: Actiniaria)
Krn Anthony,I. Svane +1 more
TL;DR: The presence of a vertical flow velocity gradient between and above the mimics supported the hypothesis that migration was due to a rheotactic response in M. senile and the rate of laceration was found to be a function of anemone body size per se.

Spatial variation in the intertidal bivalve Macoma balthica: biotic variables in relation to density and abiotic factors
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the spatial variation in biotic variables of a Macoma balthica population in an environmentally heterogeneous intertidal bay of the St Lawrence Estuary.
