Energy is required to maintain physiological homeostasis in response to environmental
change. Although responses to environmental stressors frequently are assumed to involve …

Embryos typically operate under much tighter energy constraints than older animals. This
has had a profound impact on how energy is stored, mobilized and partitioned. The result is …

Phenotypic plasticity has long played a central role in eco‐evolutionary theory, but it was not
until 20 years ago that it was proposed that the term encompasses two distinct phenomena …

High density populations of the crown-of-thorns seastar, Acanthaster planci, are a major
contributor to the decline of coral reefs, however the causes behind periodic outbreaks of …

Increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide drive accompanying changes in the marine
carbonate system as carbon dioxide (CO 2) enters seawater and alters ocean pH (termed" …

The contributions of temporal and spatial environmental variation to physiological variation
remain poorly resolved. Rocky intertidal zone populations are subjected to thermal variation …

When conditions fluctuate unpredictably, selection may favor bet-hedging strategies that
vary offspring characteristics to avoid reproductive wipe-outs in bad seasons. For many …

The larval skeleton of the echinoderm is believed to have been acquired through co-option
of a pre-existing gene regulatory network (GRN); that is, the mechanism for adult skeleton …

Organic matter (OM), a complex entity with diverse functional groups and molecular sizes,
has important effects on aquatic systems. We studied the optical compositions and sources …

Growth and development of planktotrophic larvae are dependent on food availability within a
nutritionally heterogeneous ocean. Insufficient food can reduce growth and delay …
