Dear all,
After defenition, which I find in the biological textbooks or special papers,
the trochophore, metatrochophore and nectohaeta are "free swimming
planktonic larvae........". How do you think, does it means, that incubated
polychaete larvae (e.g. Spirorbidae) having the typical morphology of
trochophora etc. should not be named such?
I suppose, that terms trochophore etc. are valid both for swimming and
incubated larvae if these have adeqate morphology. Does it mean, that
in this case defenitions in textbooks and other should be proof?
Sincerely yours
Alexander Rzhavsky
