Biology:Direct development
From HandWiki
Short description: Growth to adulthood without metamorphosis
Direct development is a concept in biology. It refers to forms of growth to adulthood that do not involve metamorphosis. An animal undergoes direct development if the immature organism resembles a small adult rather than having a distinct larval form.[1] A frog that hatches out of its egg as a small frog undergoes direct development. A frog that hatches out of its egg as a tadpole does not.
Direct development is the opposite of complete metamorphosis. An animal undergoes complete metamorphosis if it becomes a non-moving thing, for example a pupa in a cocoon, between its larval and adult stages.[2]
Examples
- Amphibians have developed direct development multiple times (convergent evolution),[3] which includes groups such as:
- Some arthropods also undergo direct development, such as ametabolous taxa like springtails.[7] Various crustacean groups independently developed direct development, such as:
- Aeglidae[8]
- Crayfish[8]
- Freshwater and terrestrial crabs[8][9][10][11]
