Tracking larvae with molecular markers reveals high relatedness and early seasonal recruitment success in a partially spawning marine bivalve.

Abstract excerpt

The partial synchronized spawning strategy adopted by some marine invertebrate broadcast-spawners can lead to the production of many distinct pools of larvae within a single reproductive cycle. Following the fate of these larval groups from birth to settlement with molecular markers might shed light on mechanisms regulating their population recruitment. Larvae and recruits of Mya arenaria, a partially spawning...
