Figure 4

Variation in the percentage of larvae of the same age initiating metamorphosis following induction by the crustose coralline alga (CCA) Mastophora pacifica. Larvae of various ages (36 - 96 hpf) were induced to metamorphose and their response, as indicated by postlarval shell growth, monitored at 12 h intervals from 12 to 60 hours after induction. Error bars are omitted for clarity of presentation. Note that the response to induction across all ages is never uniform. i.e. some larvae are able to respond to the CCA inductive cue faster than others
