Distinct suites of pre- and post-adaptations indicate independent evolutionary pathways of snapping claws in the shrimp family Alpheidae (Decapoda: Caridea)
One of the most notable evolutionary innovations of marine invertebrates is the snapping claw of alpheid shrimps (Alpheidae), capable of generating a powerful water jet and a shock wave, used for defense, aggression, excavation, and communication. Evolutionary analysis of this character complex requ...
