Larval Biology and Ecology
Larval Biology and Ecology is a specialized field within zoology that focuses on the life stage of an animal after hatching or birth and before it undergoes metamorphosis into its adult form. This discipline investigates the unique physiology, morphology, behavior, and development of larvae, which often occupy entirely different ecological niches than their adult counterparts. Researchers in this area study how environmental factors influence larval survival, growth, and dispersal, as well as their roles in food webs, their interactions with predators and competitors, and their overall contribution to population dynamics and community structure.
