  2. Marine larval ecology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_larval_ecology

    Marine larval ecology is the study of the factors influencing dispersing larvae, which many marine invertebrates and fishes have. Marine animals with a larva typically release many larvae into the water column, where the larvae develop before metamorphosing into adults.

  3. Marine microbial symbiosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_Microbial_Symbiosis

    They emit light during night time to camouflage themselves against the moon and star light coming down the ocean. It helps them to avoid predators. The symbiosis process begins when Peptidoglycan shed by the sea water bacteria comes in contact to the ciliated epithelial cells of the light organ. It induces mucus production in the cells.

  4. Littoraria irrorata - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Littoraria_irrorata

    This makes it difficult for predators to remove them from their shell. This is an essential function to have as blue crabs are commonly seen chipping away at the shell ridge in order to feed on the snail. [5] Another method L. irrorata uses to avoid predation is vertical climbing of the grass S. alterniflorus. The snails climb up the grass ...

  5. Diel vertical migration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diel_vertical_migration

    Species that are better able to avoid predators also tend to migrate before those with poorer swimming capabilities. Squid are a primary prey for Risso's dolphins (Grampus griseus), an air-breathing predator, but one that relies on acoustic rather than visual information to hunt. Squid delay their migration pattern by about 40 minutes when ...

  6. Marine food web - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_food_web

    The linkages between predator to prey are coloured according to predator group origin, and loops indicate within-group feeding. The thickness of the lines or edges connecting food web components is scaled to the log of the number of unique ROV feeding observations across the years 1991–2016 between the two groups of animals.

  7. Intertidal ecology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intertidal_ecology

    There are myriad ways in which the organisms prevent dislodgement due to waves. [12] Morphologically, many mollusks (such as limpets and chitons) have low-profile, hydrodynamic shells. Types of substrate attachments include mussels' tethering byssal threads and glues, sea stars ' thousands of suctioning tube feet, and isopods' hook-like ...

  8. The Hawaiian monk seal is one of the world’s most endangered marine mammals. For more than six decades, the population has declined. And while recent numbers show a slight growth, they are not ...

  9. Ecological niche - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_niche

    Predator partitioning occurs when species are attacked differently by different predators (or natural enemies more generally). For example, trees could differentiate their niche if they are consumed by different species of specialist herbivores, such as herbivorous insects. If a species density declines, so too will the density of its natural ...
