Developmentally timed sensory integration enables efficient larval dispersal

Marte Lonnum, Madeline M. Schuldt, Johan Hovland, José Dávila-Velderrain, Lena van Giesen

This study shows that Nematostella vectensis larvae use a developing sensory-motor system to control movement and achieve efficient dispersal.

Dispersal behavior in a cold-water coral is orchestrated via stage and species-specific physiology.

Marte Lonnum, Johan Hovland, Madeline M. Schuldt, Eirik Stamland Nilssen, José Dávila-Velderrain, Johanna Järnegren, Lena van Giesen

The paper investigates dispersal behavior in cold-water coral larvae, showing how physiological changes drive shifts from passive to active swimming behaviors.
