Anisogamy
![Page 10: LIFE HISTORY PATTERNS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816616550346895dd963b4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
FERTILIZATION
TYPES OF SPERM AND EGG RELEASE AND FERTILIZATION
1. Broadcast spawners (= free spawners)
-eggs and sperm are released into the water column - fertilization is external
2. Spermcast spawners
-sperm are released into the water column and taken in by the female-fertilization is internal
3. Copulators
-sperm placed in the body of the female usually with some intromittent orgtan-fertilization is internal
![Page 11: LIFE HISTORY PATTERNS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816616550346895dd963b4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Problems for broadcast spawners
How does an animal ensure fertilization by dumping eggs and sperm in the open ocean?
1. Proximity
2. Timing
3. Currents
4. Sperm/egg contact
![Page 13: LIFE HISTORY PATTERNS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816616550346895dd963b4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Boradcast spawners suffer a dilution effect

Conclusions (Counihan et al. 2001)
1. Spawning season is determined by water temperature
2. Precise time of spawning is influenced by tidal regime
3. Both sexes spawn in response to an evening high tide
4. Males spawn 19 mins before high tide: females 11 mins after
5. More animals spawn in presence of opposite sex.

3. Currents
![Page 21: LIFE HISTORY PATTERNS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816616550346895dd963b4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
3. Currents
Patterns of flow – move gametes unpredictably
Advection – mean direction and velocity of a gamete cloud
Diffusion –rate of gamete spreading
Main problem – production of eddies (vortices) – unpredictable and ephemeral
![Page 22: LIFE HISTORY PATTERNS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816616550346895dd963b4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

4. Sperm-egg contact
a. Dilution
-is it sperm concentration or egg:sperm ratio?
If sperm and egg are at similar concentrations-sperm :egg ratio is important
Sperm:egg ratio importantSperm concentration
is imporant
![Page 24: LIFE HISTORY PATTERNS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816616550346895dd963b4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

![Page 28: LIFE HISTORY PATTERNS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816616550346895dd963b4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Fertilization
Spermcast spawning
-mating “by releasing unpackaged spermatozoa to be dispersed to conspecifics where they fertilize eggs that have been retained by their originator.”
Bishop and Pemberton.2006. Integr.Comp.Biol. 46:398
![Page 29: LIFE HISTORY PATTERNS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816616550346895dd963b4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Fertilization
Spermcast spawning
In most spermcasters -
Sperm release
Intake by female
Storage of sperm
Fertilization and brooding
Release of competent larvae
![Page 30: LIFE HISTORY PATTERNS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816616550346895dd963b4/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Fertilization
Spermcast spawning
Factors influencing spermcasters
2. Conservation of energy
Sperm release
Sperm are inactive or periodically active
Intake by ‘female’
Sperm consistently activeConsequence: Fertilization can happen with fewer sperm at greater distance
![Page 31: LIFE HISTORY PATTERNS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816616550346895dd963b4/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Fertilization
Spermcast spawning
Factors influencing spermcasters
3. Sperm storage
-allows accumulation of a number of allosperm
Celleporella hyalina - Several weeks Diplosoma listerianum - 7 weeks
![Page 32: LIFE HISTORY PATTERNS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816616550346895dd963b4/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Fertilization
Spermcast spawning
Factors influencing spermcasters
4. Egg development
Celleporella hyalina
Diplosoma listerianum
Sperm release
Intake by ‘female’
Triggering of vitellogenesis
Consequence: Investment in eggs is not wasted.

PROPAGULES AND OFFSPRING
![Page 34: LIFE HISTORY PATTERNS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816616550346895dd963b4/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Patterns of Development
Nutritional mode
1) Planktotrophy
- larval stage feeds
This separates marine invertebrates from all others – can feed in dispersing medium
- Probably most primitive
![Page 35: LIFE HISTORY PATTERNS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816616550346895dd963b4/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Patterns of Development
Nutritional mode
2) Maternally derived nutrition
a) Lecithotrophy - yolk
b) Adelphophagy – feed on eggs or siblings
c) Translocation – nutrient directly from parent
![Page 36: LIFE HISTORY PATTERNS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816616550346895dd963b4/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Patterns of Development
Nutritional mode
3) Osmotrophy
- Take DOM directly from sea water
![Page 37: LIFE HISTORY PATTERNS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816616550346895dd963b4/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Patterns of Development
Nutritional mode
4) Autotrophy
- by larvae or photosynthetic symbionts
- In corals, C14 taken up by planulae
- In Porites, symbiotic algae to egg
![Page 38: LIFE HISTORY PATTERNS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816616550346895dd963b4/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Patterns of Development
Site of Development
1) Planktonic development
- Demersal – close to seafloor
- Planktonic – in water column
2) Benthic development
- Aparental – independent of parent – encapsulation of embryo
- Parental – brooding – can be internal or external
![Page 39: LIFE HISTORY PATTERNS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816616550346895dd963b4/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Patterns of Development
Dispersal Potential of Larvae
1) Teleplanic
- Larval period – 2 months to 1 year +
3) Anchioplanic- larval period – hours to a few days
2) Achaeoplanic – coastal larvae-1 week to < 2 months
(70% of littoral species)

LIFE HISTORY TRAITS
Fecundity
- Total number of offspring (expressed as a number of offspring over a period of time)
Three categories of fecundity
1) Potential – number of oocytes in ovary
2) Realized – number of eggs produced
3) Actual – number of hatched larvae
CENTRAL TO THIS – FECUNDITY – EXPENSIVE AND DIRECTLY LINKED TO FITNESS
![Page 44: LIFE HISTORY PATTERNS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816616550346895dd963b4/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Relationship of fecundity to other traits
1) Egg size- Generally egg size 1/fecundity
Look at poeciliogonous species
Streblospio benedicti
Produce both lecithotrophic andplanktotrophic larvae
Lecithotrophic – egg 6X larger
Planktotrophic –6X as many eggs
Same reproductive investment
![Page 45: LIFE HISTORY PATTERNS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816616550346895dd963b4/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
OFFSPRING SIZE
-volume of a propagule once it has become independent of maternal nutrition
Egg size – most important attribute in:
1) Reproductive energetics
2) Patterns of development and larval biology
3) Dispersal potential
![Page 46: LIFE HISTORY PATTERNS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816616550346895dd963b4/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Effects of Offspring Size
1) Fertilization
-some controversy about evolution of egg size
Either a) influenced by prezygotic selection for fertilization
OR
b) post-zygotic selection
![Page 47: LIFE HISTORY PATTERNS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816616550346895dd963b4/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Effects of Offspring Size
1) Fertilization
One consequence of size-dependent fertilization
Low sperm concentration larger zygotes High sperm concentration smaller zygotes (effects of polyspermy)
Size distribution of zygotes - function of both maternal investment and of local sperm concentration
![Page 48: LIFE HISTORY PATTERNS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816616550346895dd963b4/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Effects of Offspring Size
2) Development
Prefeeding period increases with offspring size
Feeding period decreases with offspring size
![Page 49: LIFE HISTORY PATTERNS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816616550346895dd963b4/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Effects of Offspring Size
2) Development
Prefeeding period increases with offspring size
Feeding period decreases with offspring size
Evidence?Planktotrophs
1) pre-feeding period -larger eggs take longer to hatch
in copepods
- in nudibranchs – no effect
![Page 50: LIFE HISTORY PATTERNS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816616550346895dd963b4/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
2) Entire planktonic period
-review of 50+ echinoids – feeding5 echinoids – non feeding
Larval period decreases with increase in egg size

POST -METAMORPHOSIS
Does egg size affect juvenile size?
EchinoidsNudibranchsConus
a.Planktotrophs
Size at metamorphosis is independent of egg size
b. Non-feeding larvae
H. erythrogramma
-used for post-metamorphic survival
-most maternal investment (lipid)-not necessary for larval development
![Page 53: LIFE HISTORY PATTERNS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816616550346895dd963b4/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
POST -METAMORPHOSIS
Does egg size affect juvenile size?
b. Non-feeding larvae
Bugula
-larval size affects - post settlement mortality- growth-
reproduction-offspring
quality-need energy to develop feeding structures – 10 – 60% of reserves
![Page 54: LIFE HISTORY PATTERNS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816616550346895dd963b4/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Summary of Offspring Size
Predictions
-closer to metabolic minimum
1) Species with non-feeding larvae-greatest effect is on post-metamorphic survival
2) Sources of mortality - physical, disturbance, stress – size independent- biological sources – size dependent
3) Offspring size- very different effects among populations
![Page 55: LIFE HISTORY PATTERNS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816616550346895dd963b4/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
SOURCES OF VARIATION IN OFFSPRING SIZE
1) Offspring size varies
a) within broodsb) among mothersc) among populatioins
2) Within populations
a) stress – salinity, temperature, food availability, pollutionb) maternal size - +ve correlation
![Page 56: LIFE HISTORY PATTERNS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816616550346895dd963b4/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
3) Among populations
a) habitat quality – poorer habitat results in smaller offspringb) latitudinal variation
Bouchard & Aiken 2012

OFFSPRING SIZE MODELS
Same basic features
1) Trade off in size and number of offspring
2) Offspring size-fitness function
2) Offspring size-fitness function
Other effects - fertilization rates- facultative feeding- generation time- post metamorphic effects
VARIATION IN OFFSPRING SIZE AFFECTS EVERY LIFE HISTORY STAGE

VARIATION IN OFFSPRING SIZE AFFECTS EVERY LIFE HISTORY STAGE
SUMMARY OF EFFECTS
Planktotrophs
- Strong effects of offspring size on life history stages
1) Fertilization in free (broadcast) spawners
2) Larger eggs result in larvae that spend less time in the plankton
3) Larger larvae feed better

VARIATION IN OFFSPRING SIZE AFFECTS EVERY LIFE HISTORY STAGE
SUMMARY OF EFFECTS
2. Non-feeders
- Strong effects of offspring size on life history stages
1) Fertilization success
2) Developmental time
3) Maximize larval lifespan
4) Postmetamorphic performance
5) Subsequent reproduction and offspring size
