Can heterochrony help explain the high morphological diversity within the genus Niphargus (Crustacea: Amphipoda)?

Postembryonic development of nine species of Niphargus (Crustacea: Amphipoda) was studied, with spine development and shifts in allometric growth being combined in developmental sequences that were compared across species. The developmental sequences show high diversity with respect to the position...
