COSEE Ocean Systems: News
Who needs a body? Not these larvae, which are basically swimming heads
Description: Most animals that are studied have adult-like bodies early in their development. But new research has found that certain marine worms live for months as little more than a head. The study suggests that many animals in the ocean likely share this trunk-less stage, and it may even shed light on the biological development of early animals. [Source: Stanford University]
