Larval Development of the European Lobster and How Small Heterochronic Shifts Lead to a More Pronounced Metamorphosis

<div>Maxilliped 1 and 2 of larval stages (II) to (IV) of<i> Homarus gammarus</i>. Right appendage in anterior (left) and posterior (right) view, besides (III) maxilliped 1 and (II) maxilliped 2, which are left ones flipped.
