Swimming Speed of Larval Snail Does Not Correlate with Size and Ciliary Beat Frequency

Many marine invertebrates have planktonic larvae with cilia used for both propulsion and capturing of food particles. Hence, changes in ciliary activity have implications for larval nutrition and ability to navigate the water column, which in turn affect survival and dispersal. Using high-speed high...
