Larval developmental histories shape phenotypes and stage-specific fitness of a reef fish.

Abstract excerpt

Developmental histories shape individual fitness and demographic heterogeneity in many systems; yet, the consequences of this variation across complex life histories remain relatively underexplored. Here, we (1) characterized variability in larval developmental histories of a reef fish and (2) evaluated patterns and sources of variation in post-settlement selection that reshaped trait distributions in older life...
