Abstract: Abstract Organisms belonging to several distinct species among plankto-benthonic marine invertebrates tend to select — as location for their sessile adult life stages—suitable discrete habitable sites (‘units’), such as crevices or tide-pools. In this paper we present a brief description of the main behavioral aspects of the taxa that adopt this life-cycle, and we construct a fairly general mathematical framework for the study of their population dynamics.
