A microbial perspective on the life-history evolution of marine invertebrate larvae: if, where, and when to feed
2017-10-29
Abstract excerpt
The feeding environment for planktotrophic larvae has a major impact on development and progression towards competency for metamorphosis. High phytoplankton environments that promote growth often have a greater microbial load and incidence of pathogenic microbes, while areas with lower food availability have a lower number of potential pathogens. Trade-offs between metabolic processes associated with growth and im...
