Figure 5. Normal (25°C) and abnormal (32°C) post-larval development of Herdmania momus.

Figure 5

(A) Normal 4 hpi post-larva. Black eyespots and ampullae growth are visible at the anterior end, left. (B) Normal 24 hpi post-larva. Ampullae are fully extended, bottom. (C) Normal 84 hpi post-larva. Adult morphology has been formed by this time; branchial basket and siphons can clearly be seen. (D) Abnormal 4 hpi post-larva. Arrow indicates incompletely resorbed tail at posterior end. (E) Abnormal 24 hpi post-larva. Arrow indicates some larval tail still remaining. (F) Abnormal 84 hpi post-larva. Arrow indicates some larval tail still remaining; arrowhead indicates deformed branchial basket. Scale bars: A-F, 100 µm.
