cyprid

Examples

• All

• The thoracic swimming legs of the cyprid become the feeding appendages of the juvenile.

  Academic text (1998)

• The tendency of cyprid larvae to attach gregariously creates considerable intraspecific competition for space as the barnacles grow.

  Academic text (1998)

• However, variation in cyprid energy content does not always predict juvenile growth rate.

  Academic text (1998)

• The organic content of each individual metamorphosing to the cyprid stage during the next 16 hours was then measured.

  Academic text (1998)

• Delaying cyprid metamorphosis can reduce juvenile competitive ability.

  Academic text (1998)

• Note the large adults to the left and the many attached cyprids interspersed among the newly metamorphosed individuals.

  Academic text (1998)

• Cyprids cannot feed in the plankton but must subsist instead on lipids and protein accumulated by the preceding naupliar stages.

  Academic text (1998)

• The sixth stage nauplius metamorphoses into a nonfeeding cyprid larva, which usually metamorphoses into adult form and habitat only after encountering other barnacles of its own species.

  Academic text (1998)

• Barnacles, for example, first develop in the plankton as feeding nauplius larvae but eventually metamorphose to a nonfeeding, terminal larval stage, the cyprid (Figure 3).

  Academic text (1998)

• The cyprid is a crucial stage in the barnacle's life cycle before it attaches to a surface.
