D
An organism that feeds on fragmented particulate organic matter (detritus) (Lincoln ''et al.'', 1998). +
The length of a straight line passing from side to side through the centre of a body or figure, especially a circle or sphere.
Note: For diameter you can specify the measurement type (minimum, maximum, average), gender (male, female) and life stage. +
Description of dormant stage +
A life cycle characterized by a diploid adult stage producing haploid gametes by meiosis, the zygote forming by fusion of a pair of gametes (Lincoln ''et al.'', 1998). +
Development without a larval stage +
Potential for dispersal provided by one or more larval/juvenile stages, recorded in m, km. +
The distance over which the adult organism is able to roam, travel or disperse; the greatest potnetial or recorded distance. Does not acknowledge limitations due to geography, hydrography, or behavioural (territorial) constraints. +
Fields and traits that describe the distribution of the species. +
Second free-swimming larvae (after the auricularia) in the Holothuroidea. It is characterized by a series of flagellated rings around a barrel-shaped body (Ruppert & Barnes, 1994; Stachowitsch, 1992). +
A species which is very abundant or present at high densities or relatively high densities. +
Double cone (Olenina ''et al.'', 2006) +
Organisms that live vertically in the sediment, typically heads-up at the surface, and that ingest particles at the surface and egest them as faeces at depth in the sediment (adapted from Kristensen ''et al.'', 2012). +
seabird, cetaceans? +
E
Free-swimming larva of Echinoidea, distinguished by six pairs of arms, supported by skeletal rods (see Ruppert & Barnes, 1994; Stachowitsch, 1992). +
