PolyQ Length of the Clock Gene Is Correlated With Pelagic Larval Duration in the Damselfishes (Pomacentridae), but Within a Species Habitat Availability Counts

ABSTRACT Immediately after hatching, larvae of coral reef fish leave their natal reef environment and begin their pelagic larval phase probably to avoid high predation on the reef.
