[http://www.eb.tuebingen.mpg.de/research/research-groups/gaspar-jekely/phototaxis.html Phototaxis], directional swimming towards the light, is a widespread behaviour in marine plankton. About 80% of all marine invertebrates with a dispersing larval stage show positive phototaxis at the beginning of the dispersal phase. Following this positive phototactic stage, older larvae often become negatively phototactic. We study the mechanisms of both positive and negative phototaxis in Platynereis and other marine invertebrate larvae. <br>--Research Groups, Gáspár Jékely in Max planck Institute for Development Biology | |||
