Funded Activity Summary

Larval dispersal and settlement mechanisms in the first genome-enabled Australian marine animal, Amphimedon queenslandica (Porifera). We know remarkably little about the lives of the enigmatic animals that live on our stunning coral reefs, except that many have a tiny larval stage that travels far beyond where the adults can go. This project explores how genomes and environment work together to ensure that larvae spread their species around to keep our reefs vibrant and diverse.
