Collaborative Research: An Integrative Investigation of Dispersal Plasticity Using a Coral — NSF Award to Texas A&M University Cor
Many marine organisms, from corals to fishes, have complex life cycles with relatively sedentary adults and dispersive larvae. The larval phase remains one of the big unknowns in marine ecology.

| Abstract | Many marine organisms, from corals to fishes, have complex life cycles with relatively sedentary adults and dispersive larvae. The larval phase remains one of the big unknowns in marine ecology. It involves a number of complex questions. How far do larvae disperse from their parents? What causes variation in larval dispersal distance? What are the consequences of variation in larval dispersal distance? These types of questions are being addressed using clown anemonefish (a.k.a. Nemo), using a co |
