Aggregation kin versus nonkin experiments in marine bryozoans from shallow seagrass habitats in St. Teresa, Florida, USA in June 2017

This dataset is part of an integrated series of experiments to study how dispersal affects the density and relatedness of neighbors, and how the density and relatedness of neighbors in turn affect fitness. Spatial aggregation at settlement in groups of marine bryozoan larvae (composed of kin and nonkin) was empirically estimated in shallow (less than 2 meters) seagrass habitats near the Florida State University Coastal and Marine Laboratory (FSUCML) in St. Teresa, Florida, USA (29° 54' N, 84° 30' W). Larvae neither actively preferred nor avoided conspecifics or kin at settlement.
