One possible explanation for this is that any attraction of these late-stage larvae to reef noise (see [4]) was countered by a downward-swimming settlement response induced by the same noise (see [17]), causing some megalops to move away from those traps coupled with noise playback.
Fully-developed, swimming larvae were offered settlement surfaces early in the larval stage, on the day after spawning, because the time to settlement competence was unknown.
Distances travelled are affected by factors such as: release time and location, egg and larval stage duration, local environmental conditions and active swimming and settlement behaviours.
It's not clear how much of that money was spent to settle sexual abuse cases, but SCNG notes that USA Swimming "arranged settlement agreements in at least three states with victims of alleged sexual abuse by swim coaches before the cases were even filed with a court".
Now it is swimming for a political settlement to the Syrian war, hoping to cement its renewed status as a global power — but given Mr. Assad's history, he may very well sink the negotiations and explain, as several diplomats put it, that making deals is not in his nature.
The decreased expression of genes involved in assembly of cilia/flagellar structures may be responsible, in part, for the decrease in swimming behavior that accompanies settlement on a substrate at the beginning of metamorphosis.
Swimming behaviour in post-settlement Corophium volutator is more frequent at times of flow and is an important process controlling its distribution.
The slide rack was placed into an aquarium, and within a few days the tadpoles hatched, swam to the settlement slide, and metamorphosed into the adult body plan (oozooid).
Schumacher, J. F. et al. Engineered nanoforce gradients for inhibition of settlement (attachment) of swimming algal spores.
We describe the successful propagation of embryos to the swimming larvae stage, the first settlement of larvae in the laboratory, and the survival of primary polyp settlers for over seven months.
In another incident, two armed men were shot dead while they were swimming in the Mediterranean near the coastal settlement of Dugit, the army said.
