Abstract
Peter Doll investigated larval settlement in the crown-of-thorns starfish. He demonstrated that settlement cues associated with particular algae may govern its recruitment success. His findings highlight the ecological importance of this complex life-history transition and inform management efforts to mitigate the detrimental impact of this coral predator on reef ecosystems.
