Dispersing marine larvae can alter their physical transport by swimming vertically or sinking in response to environmental signals. However, it remains unknown whether any signals could enable larvae to navigate over large scales. We tested whether flow-induced larval behaviors vary with adults' physical environments using congeneric snail larvae from the wavy continental shelf (Tritia trivittata) and from turbulent inlets (Tritia obsoleta). This dataset includes observations of larvae in turbul...

The dataset includes processed data from Particle Imaging Velocimetry (PIV) observations of Tritia trivittata and Tritia obsoleta. For each experiment, replicates are pooled, and instantaneous observations from larval trajectories are condensed into tabular format. Data were collected from 21 June, 2012 to 10 July, 2014 at Rutgers' Department of Marine and Coastal Sciences.
