Nontraditional life-history choices: what can "intermediates" tell us about evolutionary transitions between modes of invertebrate development?

Integrative and comparative biology - 1 Jul 2012

Collin Rachel

Abstract excerpt

Mode of development in marine invertebrates has been largely viewed as a dichotomy between small eggs that develop into free-living planktotrophic larvae and large eggs that bypass the larval stage and develop directly into juveniles. Modes of development that could be categorized as "intermediate" between these two extremes include facultative feeding larvae, short-lived planktotrophic larvae, dispersal...
