Food-induced phenotypic plasticity in echinoid larvae is inducible and reversible throughout development.

BMC biology - 21 Nov 2025

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Echinoid larvae are known to display food-induced phenotypic plasticity, where larvae alter their morphology and physiology to reflect available food levels. The aim of this study was to describe the induction and reversal of morphological and physiological plasticity through the entirety of larval development of the sand dollar Dendraster excentricus. RESULTS: When larvae fed a low algal ration were...
