Taxonomy: Three into one will go
Rory Howlett1
Abstract
Striking instances of larval metamorphosis, and of adult sexual dimorphism, are not uncommon in the animal world. But especially dramatic examples of these phenomena have emerged from the deep sea.
One corner of the world of ichthyology has just become a little tidier. Writing in Biology Letters, Johnson et al.1 report their investigations of representatives of three families of marine fish — which, they find, are in fact the larvae, males and females of a single family.
