Oysters construct extensive reef communities, providing food, protection from storms, and healthy coastlines. We still do not have a clear picture of how these animals attach to surfaces. Efforts described herein provide the first examination of adhesion at the transition from free swimming larvae to initial substrate attachment, through metamorphosis, and on to adulthood. Two different bonding systems were found to coexist. Larvae use an organic, hydrated glue that persists while the animal progresses into the juvenile phase, at which point a very different adhesive emerges. Juveniles bond with an organic–inorganic composite system, positioning the organic component for maximum adhesion by residing between the animal and substrate. Beyond understanding our marine environment, these insights may aid efforts in aquaculture, reef restoration, and adhesive design.

从幼体向成年过渡的造礁牡蛎胶结作用的变化

牡蛎构成了广阔的珊瑚礁群落，提供食物，保护免受风暴和健康的海岸线。我们仍然不清楚这些动物如何附着在表面上。本文所述的工作提供了从游离游泳幼虫到初始底物附着，通过变态直至成年的过渡期的粘附力的首次检查。发现两个不同的绑定系统共存。幼虫使用一种有机的，水合的胶水，这种胶水会在动物进入幼年期时持续存在，这时会出现一种完全不同的胶粘剂。幼虫与有机-无机复合系统结合，使有机成分位于动物和底物之间，从而获得最大的附着力。除了了解我们的海洋环境外，这些见解还有助于水产养殖，礁石恢复，
