“…An alternative theory likens the cyprid antennu1ar recognition to a "tactile chemical sense" whereby surface properties of antennular cuticular hairs bf the cyprid cause it to adhere to the molecular configuration of adsorbed settlement factor protein, similar to a specific antigen-antibody response. The strength of temporary cyprid adhesion was shown to increase in the presence of adsorbed settlement factor' thus lending support to this second alternative (Yule & Crisp, 1983). In the present study, adsorption of settlement factor protein at various salinities was not measured and likely varied, possibly influencing degree of settlement.…”

The density of five major groups at fouling organisms Ibacteria, diatoms, choanotlagellates, ciliates, macroorganisms) on seven artilicial substrata with surface tensions between 19.0 and 64.5 mN m ' was studied in the Gulf at Thailand. Two series of test panels r the different substrata were immersed into the sea between 3 hours and 64 days (macrotauna 128 days). The results show that surface tension has ,t limited impact on the density of the organisms. Only bacteria settled conlinuously in signilicantly lower numbers on materials within the minimum bioadheslw2 range (20-25 mN m ') than on other substrata. Signifi(:dn[ differences between the substrata may disappear after long exposure, as in series 2 after 16days For diatoms and protozoa, a colonisation pattern similar to thdt of bacteria with a minimum ol 20-25 mN m : was detected alter severdl exposure intervals, l.lowever, it was never recor(ted m more than 3 exl)osure intervals in a row. The colonisation pattern of macroorganisms could not be attributed Io substratum surface tension. An index, called "colonisation degree" is introduced to give a gene.~ral impression at the density of organisms on the materials tested. The colonisation degree did not show any signilicant difference at any exposure interval. The present results clearly suggest that substratum surface tension is easily overshadowed by other factors in colonisation processes under natural conditions.

“…For sedentary or sessile organisms, like barnacles, oysters, and tube-dwelling polychaetes, that cue may be associated with adults or juveniles of the same species (e.g. Knight-Jones 1953, Hidu 1969, Highsmith 1982, Yule & Crisp 1983, Jensen & Morse 1984, Pearce & Scheibling 1990, Toonen & Pawlik 1996, Bryan et al 1997, a relationship with obviously favorable reproductive consequences. Such selective metamorphosis is presumed to be adaptive, but the benefits have rarely been quantified.…”

many benthic marine invertebrates develop by means of free-livlng, dispersive larval stages. The presumed advantages of such larvae include the avoidance of competition for resources with adults, temporary reduct~on of benthic mortality while in the plankton, decreased likelihood of inbreeding in the next generation, and increased ability to withstand local extinction However, the direct~on of evolutionary change appears generally b~a s e d toward the loss of larvae in many clades, implying that larvae are somehow disadvantageous. Poss~ble disadvantages include dispersal away from favorable habitat, mismatches between larval and luvenile physiological tolerances, greater susceptib~lity to env~ronmental stresses, greater susceptibihty to predation. and vanous costs that may be associated with n~etanlorphosing in response to specific chemical cues and postponing n~etamorphosis in the absence of those cues. Understanding the forces responsible for the present distribution of larval and non-larval (aplanktonlc) development among benthic marine invertebrates, and the potential influence of human activities on the direct~on of future evolutionary change in 1-eproductlve patterns, will require a better understanding of the following issues. the role of macro-evolutionary forces in selecting for or against dispersive larvae, the relative tolerances of encapsulated embryos and free-living larvae to salinity, pollutant, and other environmental stresses; the degree to which egg masses, e g g capsules, and brood chambers protect developing embryos from environmental stresses; the relative magmtude of predation by planktonic and benthic predators on both larvae and early juveniles; the way In which larval and juvenile size affect vulnerability to predators; the extent to w h~c h encapsulation and brooding protect against predators; the amount of genetic change associated with loss of larvae from invertebrate life cycles and the time required to accomplish that change; and the degree to which continued input of larvae from other populations deters selection against dispersive larvae The prominence of larval development in modern life cycles may reflect difficulties In loslng larvae from llfe cycles more than selection for their retention.
