The morphology of the megalopa stage of the panopeid Rhithropanopeus harrisii is
redescribed and illustrated in detail from plankton specimens identified by DNA barcode …

For marine invertebrates with a benthic adult form and a planktonic larva phase, the
connectivity among populations is mainly based on larval dispersal. While an extended …

Larval and early postlarval shell morphology and morphometry of the bivalves Venus
antiqua, Mulinia edulis, Ensis macha and Hiatella solida were studied. The specimens …

Thoosa calpulli and T. mismalolli are two of the most abundant excavating sponges in reefs
in the Mexican Pacific Ocean. These species release large numbers of larvae into the water …

The complete larval development of the lobster shrimp Leonardsaxius amurensis
(Kobjakova, 1937)(Decapoda: Axiidea: Axiidae) is described and illustrated for the first time …

Larval identification represents a powerful tool for detailed studies on recruitment and
population dynamics in marine invertebrates. However, intra-specific morphological …

The rapid identification of hydrothermal vent-endemic larvae to the species level is a key
limitation to understanding the dynamic processes that control the abundance and …

Although Parthenopidae is a brachyuran decapod family comprising almost 140 species,
there is little knowledge about its larval morphology. There are only two complete larval …

Cancrid larvae are among the most abundant decapods in the meroplankton in the
Northeast Pacific; however, their study remains problematic because of difficulty …

The decapod Grapsus grapsus is commonly found on oceanic islands of the Pacific and
