The biogeography of marine invertebrate life histories
Biologists have long sought to identify and explain patterns in the diverse array of marine life
histories. The most famous speculation about such patterns is Gunnar Thorson's suggestion …

[HTML][HTML] Molecular and morphological systematics of Elysia Risso, 1818 (Heterobranchia: Sacoglossa) from the Caribbean region
The Caribbean is a biodiversity hotspot for photosynthetic sea slugs, with about 27

Spatial variation in egg size and egg number reflects trade‐offs and bet‐hedging in a freshwater fish
Maternal reproductive investment is thought to reflect a trade‐off between offspring size and
fecundity, and models generally predict that mothers inhabiting adverse environments will …

Consequences of alternative dispersal strategies in a putatively amphidromous fish
Successful dispersal can enhance both individual fitness and population persistence, but
the process of dispersal is often inherently risky. The interplay between the costs and …

Phylogenetic evidence for multiple independent origins of functional kleptoplasty in Sacoglossa (Heterobranchia, Gastropoda)
Sacoglossa is a rather small taxon of marine slugs with about 300 described species, yet it is
quite fascinating scientists for decades. This is mainly because of the ability of certain …

Species selection favors dispersive life histories in sea slugs, but higher per-offspring investment drives shifts to short-lived larvae
PJ Krug, JE Vendetti, RA Ellingson… - Systematic …, 2015 - academic.oup.com
For 40 years, paleontological studies of marine gastropods have suggested that species
selection favors lineages with short-lived (lecithotrophic) larvae, which are less dispersive …
