Microsatellite genotypes of marine bryozoan from shallow seagrass habitats in St. Teresa, Florida, USA in June 2017

We integrate a series of experiments to study how dispersal affects the density and relatedness of neighbors, and how the density and relatedness of neighbors in turn affects fitness. In a marine bryozoan, microsatellite genetic markers identified very few half sibs (and no full sibs) in adults from the natural population, and rarely close enough to directly interact.
