Description

Early post-settlement mortality is difficult to measure in mobile benthic taxa such as mussels. Field studies typically employ settlement collectors that often contain empty shells of dead individuals, which are usually disregarded. Here, empty shells of pediveligers, i.e. recent settlers that died before beginning to grow as juveniles, were used to assess temporal and spatial patterns of early mortality in mussels, whether size at settlement determined mortality, and whether mortality was de...
