“…Although this dramatic effect was not observed, younger cyprids (0-day-old) were nevertheless preferred for use in assays, which enabled comparison with previous studies. The higher settlement of 5-day-old cyprids is consistent with reduced discrimination with age (Rittschof et al 1984) and depletion of energy reserves (Tremblay et al 2007); the cyprids become more 'desperate' to settle, i.e. the desperate larva hypothesis (Toonen & Pawlik 1994).…”

In conclusion, it is demonstrated that despite previous suggestions to the contrary, these two species of barnacle show similar preferences in response to surface free energy; they also respond similarly to charge. These findings have positive implications for the development of novel antifouling coatings and support the importance of consistency in substrate choice for assays designed to compare surface preferences of fouling organisms.

“…A 15 relationship between larval supply and settlement is most likely to be detected when larval 16 supply is measured within a few meters or less of the settlement substrate (e.g., Otaíza, 1989;17 Jeffery and Underwood, 2000;Todd et al, 2006;Tremblay et al, 2007). At these finer spatial 18 scales, flow velocities and substrate characteristics, which determine the boundary layer, 19 turbulent flows, and shear stress, will affect whether larvae attach or are re-suspended from a 20 substrate (Koehl, 2007).…”

Marine broadcast spawners have two-phase life cycles, with pelagic larvae and benthic adults. 2 Larval supply and settlement link these two phases and are crucial for the persistence of marine 3 populations. Mainly due to the complexity in sampling larval supply accurately, many 4 researchers use settlement as a proxy for larval supply. Larval supply is a constraining variable 5 for settlement because, without larval supply, there is no settlement. Larval supply and 6 settlement may not be well correlated, however, and settlement may not consistently estimate 7 larval supply. 8This paper explores the argument that larval supply (i.e., larval abundance near settlement sites) 9 may not relate linearly to settlement. We review the relationship between larval supply and 10 settlement, from estimates and biases in larval supply sampling, to non-behavioral and 11 behavioral components, including small-scale hydrodynamics, competency, gregarious behavior, 12 intensification of settlement, lunar periodicity, predation and cannibalism. Physical and structural 13 processes coupled with behavior, such as small-scale hydrodynamics and intensification of 14 settlement, sometimes result in under-or overestimation of larval supply, where it is predicted 15 from a linear relationship with settlement. Although settlement is a function of larval supply, 16 spatial and temporal processes interact with larval behavior to distort the relationship between 17 larval supply and settlement, and when these distortions act consistently in time and space, they 18 cause biased estimates of larval supply from settlement data. 19Most of the examples discussed here suggest that behavior is the main source of the decoupling 20 between larval supply and settlement because larval behavior affects the vertical distribution of 21 3 larvae, the response of larvae to hydrodynamics, intensification of settlement, gregariousness, 1 predation and cannibalism. Thus, larval behavior seems to limit broad generalizations on the 2 regulation of settlement by larval supply. Knowledge of the relationship is further hindered by 3 the lack of a well founded theoretical relationship between the two variables. 4The larval supply-settlement transition may have strong general consequences for population 5 connectivity, since larval supply is a result of larval transport, and settlement constrains 6 recruitment. Thus, measuring larval supply and settlement effectively allows more accurate 7 quantification and understanding of larval transport, recruitment and population connectivity. 8 9 4

“…Embora um crescente número de estudos demonstre que as larvas reconhecem substratos colonizados por biofi lmes de diferente composição, idades e ambientes (sublitoral vs. entremarés), a resposta da larva depende da espécie em estudo. Microfi lmes com maior tempo de colonização (maior idade) podem facilitar o assentamento de alguns poliquetos (Qian 1999) e bivalves (Bao et al 2007) ou inibir o assentamento de alguns cirripédios (Olivier et al 2000, Tremblay et al 2007) e briozoários (Dobretsov & Qian 2006). Alguns estudos recentes mostraram que os compostos extracelulares produzidos por alguns dos organismos que compõem o biofi lme induzem ou inibem o assentamento (Lam et al 2005).…”
