Settlement and metamorphosis of marine invertebrate larvae are processes of profound developmental, morphological, physiological and ecological change. That these processes in larvae of a marine sponge critically rely on products supplied by endosymbiotic bacteria signals the importance of developmental symbiosis among the most basal metazoans.
海洋无脊椎动物幼虫的定居和变态是一个深刻的发育、形态、生理和生态变化的过程。海洋海绵幼虫的这些过程严重依赖内共生细菌提供的产物，这表明在最基础的后生动物之间发育共生的重要性。
