Abstract A majority of marine benthic macroinvertebrate and fish species have planktonic larval stages that disperse in the water column from days to months. However, the adaptive significance of pelagic larvae, and whether predation is higher in the pelagic or the benthic environment, is still debated, partly due to a lack of studies assessing larval ...

Historical Biogeography of Spiny Lobsters in the Genus Panulirus (Achelata: Palinuridae)
ABSTRACT Aim Panulirus is the spiny lobster genus with the most living species, containing 22 recognised species split into two lineages distinguished by habitat preference.
