A Novel Approach to Evaluating Patterns of Vertical Distribution in Cryptic Larvae: Application of Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (FISH) and a Large-Particle Cell Sorter

Abstract

We hypothesized that differences in the distribution of adult mussels are the result of differences in the selection pressures ontheir larvae, such that the vertical distribution of larvae from the inner bay species (M. senhousia) facilitates bay retention, while that of the open-coast species (M. californianus) enhancesalongshore dispersal.
