Understanding the molecular basis of marine invertebrate larval settlement and metamorphosis using complementary molecular, developmental, chemical and ecological approaches. The colonisation and fouling of submerged structures is a major economic problem for maritime industries. This proposal will detail the molecular mechanisms underlying the first crucial steps of marine invertebrate colonisation - settlement and metamorphosis - and determine how natural anti-foulant chemicals impact on these developmental processes. By using complementary developmental, molecular, chemical and ecological approaches, we will obtain knowledge of key control points in settlement and metamorphosis, and thus identify potential pest management strategies. This proposal comprehensively delineates the role of novel anti-foulants, linking their effect on invertebrate development with their role in shaping marine communities on natural and built surfaces.

利用互补的分子、发育、化学和生态学方法了解海洋无脊椎动物幼虫定居和变态的分子基础。水下结构物的殖民和污染是航运业的一个主要经济问题。这项提案将详细说明海洋无脊椎动物定居的第一个关键步骤--定居和变态--背后的分子机制，并确定天然防污化学品如何影响这些发育过程。通过发展、分子、化学和生态方法的互补，我们将获得关于聚落和变态的关键控制点的知识，从而确定潜在的虫害管理策略。该提案全面描述了新型防污剂的作用，将它们对无脊椎动物发育的影响与它们在塑造自然和已建成表面的海洋群落方面的作用联系起来。
