Journal Article
Huxham, M., & Richards, M. (2003). Can postlarval bivalves select sediment type during settlement? A field test with Macoma balthica (L.) and Cerastoderma edule (L.). Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 288(2), (279-293). doi:10.1016/s0022-0981(03)00023-6. ISSN 0022-0981

Many soft-bottom benthic invertebrates display sediment-associated patterns of dispersion. Habitat selection experiments have shown that the larvae of some species can choose to settle in favourable habitats, and this process could establish patterns...
