I will review the general concept of breeding strategies and discuss some of the
mechanisms by which benthic marine animals breed in variable and constant
environments. It is argued that physiologically benign conditions found in
environments with nearly constant conditions (deep sea and tropical environments)
present significant obstacles to successful reproduction because of the absence of
periodic cues. By considering the breeding strategies of organisms that must
reproduce without cyclic cues, it is hoped that we may also gain insights about
breeding options in highly variable environments where cyclic cues are available but
not completely predictable. Florida Atlantic University.
