Benthic assemblage development and larval ecology of marine invertebrates at Adelaide Island, Antarctica
… strong seasonality of occurrence. Diversity of larval types was comparable with data from other Antarctic and temperate studies but abundances were higher than in a similar study at Signy Island (60043' S, 45° 36' W). The range of larval types, durations, and times of spawning argues against any …

Egg and larval ecology of anchovy (Engraulis capensis) and sardine (Sardinops sagax) in the Southern Benguela ecosystem
… feeding conditions. A comparison of egg and larval distributions with current features from selected months during SARP supports previous studies which indicate that the frontal jet plays an important role in the transport of the early life history stages of anchovy and sardine but that the …

Larval ecology and synchronous reproduction of two crustacean species : Semibalanus balanoides in New England, USA and Gecarcinus quadratus in Veraguas, Panama
… tropical terrestrial crab, Gecarcinus quadratus. Larval ecology of these two species was also studied to determine potential sources of larval mortality and recruitment success. High-frequency observations revealed that early-stage larval abundance of S. balanoides was related to storms, and …

Species-specific patterns in bivalve larval supply to a coastal embayment
Larval supply is an important process linking reproductive output to recruitment of benthic marine invertebrates. Few species-specific studies of bivalve larvae have been performed due to the lack of suitable methods for species identification. This thesis focused on applying a method to identify …

Early life-history ecology of Arctic benthic invertebrates
… Extreme population bottlenecks occur at larval and juvenile stages, which fundamentally alter adult communities. Yet, marine early life-history ecology is severely understudied, leaving us ill-prepared to predict impacts of a changing environment. The Arctic is warming rapidly, making it …

Developmental changes in the structure and function of lobster hemocyanin
… oxygen binding properties of hemocyanin in the larval, juvenile, and adult stages of Homarus americanus. These studies elucidate the relationship between structure and function of hemocyanin, and provide some insights on larval ecology as well. Hemocyanin occurs in all larval stages of the …
