Larval Development of the European Lobster and How Small Heterochronic Shifts Lead to a More Pronounced Metamorphosis
We redescribe the larval stages of the European lobster, Homarus gammarus, based on autofluorescence composite imaging. We focus on larval stages (II) to (IV). Compared to the American lobster, Homarus americanus, differences are most apparent in stage (III). This stage appears more mature in H. gam...
