Abstract: Pelagic larval stages (meroplankton) of benthic invertebrates seasonally make up a significant proportion of planktonic communities, as well as determine the distribution of their benthic adult stages, yet are frequently overlooked by both plankton and… read more here.

Abstract: The dispersal of organisms in an isolated environment of a hydrothermal vent remains unclear. Here, we provide direct evidence that meroplanktonic larvae may migrate thousands of meters above the ocean floor. The morphological quantitative measurements… read more here.
