Figure 11From: Myogenesis of Malacostraca – the “egg-nauplius” concept revisitedPhylogram of hypothesized evolutionary history of myogenesis. Phylogenetic relationships, taxa and compared developmental features as in Figure 10. An egg-nauplius stage is part of the ground pattern and the free swimming nauplius larva evolved independently in dendrobranchiates (and euphausiaceans, not shown). Abbreviations: A1, A2, Md, Mx1 Body segments bearing respective appendages.Back to article page
