I sampled recruitment of very small sea urchins (Strongylocentrotus spp.) by using the
anesthetic magnesium chloride to remove individuals from substrata collected in sea-urchin …

The sheet‐runner continuum model of unilaminar encrusting colony growth is reassessed
for cheilostome Bryozoa. It is concluded that the model does not adequately account for the …

The canopy-forming kelp Macrocystis pyrifera (L.) C. Ag. was experimentally manipulated to
determine its influence on the species composition of an assemblage of temperate zone reef …

Settlement by the larvae of the barnacle Balanus glandula (Darwin) in the field is decreased
on slate tiles that have been previously occupied by a predator of postmetamorphic stages …

Artificial reefs have considerable potential for enhancing near shore fisheries by increasing
habitat space and cover. The growth of sessile epibiota on artificial structures provides food …

Settlement was studied in two vertically separated populations of the filter-feeding porcelain
crabs Petrolisthes cinctipes (Randall) and Petrolisthes eriomerus Stimpson near Bamfield …

The density of the Carolina marsh clam, Polymesoda caroliniana (Bosc), was determined in
three adjacent tidal marsh communities which differed only in plant species composition …

Growth of the colony is a basic element of morphological evolution and life history in
cheilostome bryozoans. Here we consider the occurrence of different modes of growth in …

In southern California, colonies of the arborescent bryozoan Bugula neritina have a strongly
clumped spatial distribution. Small colonies are generally< 4 cm from other small colonies …

Larval settlement and metamorphosis of the marine gastropods Crepidula fornicata (L.) and
Crepidula plana Say were investigated to determine the ecological role of larval habitat …
