Hatching an egg-cellent plan: investigating vibrationally and chemically-cued hatching and development of marine invertebrate eggs in relation to envi

Eggs and larvae use sensory information from the environment to regulate development and the timing of hatching. Larvae must hatch at the appropriate time to survive. Sensory cues, such as vibrational and chemical, are prevalent in the marine environment where waves crash and predators rove along the seabed.Human activities add to these, with…
