Effects of food availability on larval development during ontogenetic niche shift in a marine annelid [PDF]

Open Biology
Many marine invertebrates have a biphasic life cycle with a free-swimming larva and a bottom-dwelling adult. The transition from a planktonic to a benthic lifestyle is a significant step in the animal’s life history, highly regulated and influenced by ...
