This research investigated the intimate associations between crustose coralline algae (CCA) and coral larvae for settlement, it is important to identify species-specific pairing between the CCA-coral
Larvae of the solitary ascidian, Ciona robusta, were placed in petri dishes with various species of macroalgae from the Santa Barbara Channel, and larval survival to settlement was assessed. The to
For sessile marine invertebrates with complex life cycles, habitat choice is directed by the larval phase. Defining which habitat-linked cues are implicated in sessile invertebrate larval settlement h
