Offspring size in a resident species affects community assembly

We found that Watersipora offspring size affected subsequent community assembly (see Results), and were interested in whether larger offspring produced colonies with traits that differed to colonies that came from smaller offspring. Specifically, we were interested in whether colonies from different ...
