Microplastics exposure could be detrimental to marine organisms especially under high
concentrations. However, few studies have considered the multiphasic nature of marine …

The study of trophic ecology of benthic marine invertebrates with bi-phasic life cycles is
critical to understand the mechanisms shaping population dynamics. Moreover, global …

Charonia tritonis (Charoniidae), one of the largest marine gastropods and an echinoderm
specialist, preys on Crown-of-Thorns starfish (CoTS), a recurring pest that continues to be a …

Gastropod snails in the genus Crepidula have emerged as model systems for studying a
metazoan super clade, the Spiralia. Recent work on one species in particular, Crepidula …

Ocean acidification poses a significant threat to calcifying invertebrates by negatively
influencing shell deposition and growth. An organism's performance under ocean …

Larvae of the marine gastropod Crepidula fornicata must complete a transition from the
plankton, where they are highly dispersed, to an aggregated group of benthic adults …

The calyptraeid gastropod mollusk, Crepidula fornicata, has been widely used for studies of
larval developmental biology, physiology, and ecology. Brooded veliger larvae of this …

Charonia tritonis (Charoniidae), one of the largest marine gastropods and an echinoderm
specialist, preys on Crown-of-Thorns starfish (CoTS), a recurring pest that continues to be a …

The goal of this article was to use a systematic review of studies on the larval stages of
gastropods reared to metamorphosis to determine whether there are general patterns for the …

Larval dispersal is a critical step in the life-histories of sessile benthic invertebrates. There is
a growing body of research showing plasticity in marine invertebrate larvae, but the causes …
