Phylogenetic, ecological and biomechanical constraints on larval form: A comparative morphological analysis of barnacle nauplii

Barnacle naupliar larvae are differentiated from other zooplankton by their unique pair of frontal lateral horns, frontal filaments, and a pear-shaped cephalic shield. Their morphology impose constraints on their ecological functions and reflect their evolutionary history. To explore the potential f...
