Both terrestrial and aquatic invertebrate and vertebrates enter into estivation.

The meres support abundant aquatic invertebrate species, especially beetles and bugs, with some rare species on record.

Silver perch appear primarily to be a low-order predator of small aquatic invertebrate prey, with occasional intakes of small fish and vegetative matter.

They have a complex life cycle which comprises vegetative forms in two hosts, an aquatic invertebrate (generally an annelid) and an ectothermic vertebrate, usually a fish.

Fenthion has been found toxic to fishes and other aquatic invertebrates.

One potentially useful platform-clinger: a type of marine invertebrate called a bryozoan, which contains a symbiotic bacteria known to produce a compound that inhibits the growth of cancerous cells.

The many faunal remains include, but are not limited to, marine invertebrate and vertebrate remains like shellfish, bony fish, and sea lion.

Despite their name, urchin barrens are usually abundant with marine invertebrate life, echinoderms in particular.

When completed, the facilities will provide new wet laboratory space, student offices and a dedicated tide pool area for marine invertebrate physiological and behavioral studies.

They also host diverse marine invertebrate and algae populations.
