The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Variation in the dispersal potential of non-feeding invertebrate larvae: The desperate larva hypothesis and larval size (2003, background): “The larvae of each species can successfully complete metamorphosis after at least 15 h (Wendt 1996, Marshall et al. 2003, D. J. Marshall pers. obs).”
New perspectives on ecological mechanisms affecting coral recruitment on reefs (2008, background): “For some invertebrates, including abalones, tunicates, and bryozoans, delayed metamorphosis slowed post -metamorphic development (Wendt, 1998; Roberts and Lapworth, 2001; Marshall et al., 2003).”
Desperate larvae: influence of deferred costs and habitat requirements on habitat selection (2007, methodology): “Furthermore, non-feeding larvae can deplete their resources such that survival and growth are greatly reduced within a few hours (Marshall et al. 2003).”
