Allee Effects in Ecology and Conservation (2008, background): “There is broader evidence for this idea in the fossil record, where comparisons of related taxa show that those with brooding larvae have suffered lower extinction rates in times of stress, implying that they can recover more easily from episodes of reduced population density or size (Wray 1995).”
Form, performance and trade-offs in swimming and stability of armed larvae (2003, background): “Evolutionary loss of the need for food is associated with loss of arms in larvae that continue to swim (Strathmann, 1975; Emlet, 1991, 1994; Wray, 1995).”
Rapid settlement in broadcast spawning corals: implications for larval dispersal (2003, background): “The evolution of lecithotrophy in marine invertebrates has been linked with selection to reduce time to metamorphosis, and minimize the duration of the high-mortality dispersal phase (Wray 1995).”
