The data the bots bring back provide some of the first direct confirmation of a decades-old and surprisingly contentious scientific mystery: Where do marine larvae go, how do they get there and back, and what allows them to do this?</p> August 31, 2016 - 4:30pm Katherine E Kerlin /news/robot-larvae-deployed-sea
