Morphotype induced changes in the life history and population dynamics of an hippolytid shrimp
Abstract One of the most exceptional, loud paradigm of shape polymorphisms constitutes the “rostral loss” condition in hippolytid shrimps. The intertidal shrimp Hippolyte sapphica includes two conspecific morphotypes, one of which demonstrates a neotenic rostrum (morph-B). Morphs’ rostral elongation...
