Experimental results on turbulence exposure in sand dollars from Bodega Marine Lab in 2014 (Turbulence-spurred settlement project)

<p><strong>Figure 3.</strong> Turbulence exposure in sand dollars shortened the time to competence by approximately 20%. On each day indicated, three replicates of 20–25 larvae each were subjected to 3 min of turbulence exposure at approximately 6 W kg−1 (500 r.p.m.), and then immediately transferred them into 40 mM excess KCl in MFSW; we also transferred three replicates of 20–25 larvae directly into 40 mM excess KCl in Millipore-filtered natural seawater (i.e. with no turbulence exposure; unmanipulated controls). All larvae in this analysiswere fromthe same batch (larval batch A, fertilized 27 May 2014).</p>
