Asymmetric dispersal can maintain larval polymorphism: a model motivated by Streblospio benedicti.

Integrative and comparative biology - 1 Jul 2012

Zakas Christina, Hall David W

Abstract excerpt

Polymorphism in traits affecting dispersal occurs in a diverse variety of taxa. Typically, the maintenance of a dispersal polymorphism is attributed to environmental heterogeneity where parental bet-hedging can be favored. There are, however, examples of dispersal polymorphisms that occur across similar environments. For example, the estuarine polychaete Streblospio benedicti has a highly heritable offspring...
