What is a dauer larva ?
It's a larva from a special variant of C. elegans that was first identified
in samples from soil in Germany
It is a larva that shows accelerated development in highly nutritious
environments
Dauer is just the technical term for "hermaphrodite" - so dauer larva
means hermaphrodite adult
It's a larva that arrests development in a low metabolic and enduring
stage, caused by harsh environmental conditions. The larva will
remain in the dauer stage until the conditions improve, at which
point they'll resume development.

What are some possible functions of spicules and spongin? How are these sponge parts alike and different?
Why is sexual reproduction beneficial for sponges (or other organisms)? When could asexual reproduction be beneficial?

Sperm binding to the egg's vitelline membrane
Fusion of the sperm and egg membranes
Acrosomal reaction
