Sex-specific metamorphosis of cypris larvae in the androdioecious barnacle Scalpellum scalpellum (Crustacea: Cirripedia: Thoracica) and its implications for the adaptive evolution of dwarf males

Androdioecy (co-existence of hermaphrodites and dwarf males) is a fascinating yet poorly understood phenomenon. The pedunculated barnacle Scalpellum scalpellum is an emerging model species for the system. In S. scalpellum, dwarf males and hermaphrodites are very different in adult morphology (e.g.,...
