The enigma of reversed asymmetry in lithodid crabs: absence of evidence for heritability or induction of morphological handedness in Lopholithodes foraminatus.

Evolution & development - 1 Jan 2000

Duguid William D P

Abstract excerpt

Mutations or environmental factors that result in reversal of conspicuous left-right asymmetries provide an opportunity to study developmental mechanisms. They may also provide insight into evolutionary changes in asymmetry states within and between species. King crabs (family Lithodidae) have a...
