Females of the gastropod Crepipatella dilatata brood their egg capsules in the pallial cavity
under the shell for several weeks until the offspring hatch as juveniles—but at what cost? In …

Crepipatella dilatata is an estuarine gastropod that broods its encapsulated embryos in the
pallial cavity for several weeks before releasing juveniles. When environmental quality …

Although periods of severely reduced oxygen concentration are occurring with increasing
frequency in coastal marine ecosystems, the effects of such exposures on early …

Females of the calyptraeid gastropod Crepipatella fecunda enclose their fertilized eggs in
thin-walled egg capsules. They then brood these capsules for at least several weeks in the …

Faced with environmental stress, the females of many marine invertebrate species can
isolate their brood chambers from the external environment for prolonged periods. Although …

At reduced salinities, brooding females of some gastropods and bivalves may isolate their
mantle cavities from the environment for several days, maintaining internal osmotic …

The sedentary gastropod Crepipatella dilatata encapsulates its embryos and incubates them
in the pallial cavity. Females can deliberately isolate their embryos from the external …

During their reproductive period, females of Crepipatella dilatata deposit their embryos in
capsules that they then brood in the pallial cavity until juveniles emerge several weeks later …

The estuarine slipper limpet Crepipatella dilatata is a gastropod that can survive prolonged
periods of low salinities (< 24 PSU) caused by tidal changes and/or prolonged periods of …

Brooding in bivalves is a reproductive strategy that benefits larvae by protecting them from
predators and adverse ambient conditions. Recent studies on brooding oysters (Ostrea spp.) …
