The effects of elevated carbon dioxide concentrations on the metamorphosis, size, and survival of larval hard clams (Mercenaria mercenaria), bay scallops (Argopecten irradians), and Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) (2009, background): “2) could translate into higher mortality rates for these individuals once they are settled (Marshall et al. 2003).”
Predictors of Juvenile Survival in Birds (2013, background): “…and sex-biased juvenile survival can have profound ecological and evolutionary impacts on the population (Trivers and Willard 1973; Elgar 1990; Clutton-Brock 1991; Promislow et al. 1992; Venable 1992; Bernardo 1996; Fox and Czesak 2000; Marshall et al. 2003; Marshall and Keough 2007, 2009).”
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).”
How to balance the offspring quality–quantity tradeoff when environmental cues are unreliable (2011, unknown): “…attain larger body sizes and have higher survival chances (Fleming and Gross 1990, Sinervo et al. 1992, Fox 1994, Einum and Fleming 1999, Fox and Czesak 2000, Roff 2002, Einum 2003, Marshall et al. 2003), a phenomenon that has been summarized as the ‘bigger is better’ hypothesis (Sogard 1997).”
