noun a larval form of certain marine organisms, characterized by cilia arranged in bands or tufts for locomotion
The presence and behavior of actinotrochae larvae can influence the ecology and population dynamics of marine ecosystems.
Actinotrochae are larval stages of some marine invertebrates, such as brachiopods, with a distinctive ciliated band used for swimming and feeding.
Actinotrochae are a type of larva found in certain marine animals, exhibiting a unique morphology and behavior.
Actinotrochae play a crucial role in the development and metamorphosis of specific marine organisms.
Actinotrochae are larval stages of certain marine invertebrates, such as brachiopods, and are studied by marine biologists to understand their development and life cycle.
Research scientists may study actinotrochae as part of their research on marine ecosystems and the impact of environmental factors on larval development.
Zoologists may study actinotrochae as part of their research on the diversity and evolution of marine invertebrates.
