LARVAL TRANSFER. "Rather, it proposes that on occasion, in evolutionary history, larval and embryonic forms that originally evolved in one lineage have later appeared in another, as if they had jumped from one branch of the phylogenetic tree to a distinct, and sometimes distant one.” https://books.google.es/books?hl=en&lr=&id=4Bv_CAAAQBAJ&oi=fnd&pg=PR3&dq=evolution+of+larval+stage&ots=Ajv40BxpV8&sig=UoAuSNQhyUJxvYurqij18mPF3GM View in LinkedIn

HORIZONTAL LARVAE. "My alternative theory, horizontal transfer of larval form, does not postulate that larvae have altered very little or become superficially more similar as their corresponding adults have evolved striking differences." https://books.google.es/books?hl=en&lr=&id=4Bv_CAAAQBAJ&oi=fnd&pg=PR3&dq=evolution+of+larval+stage&ots=Ajv40BxpV8&sig=UoAuSNQhyUJxvYurqij18mPF3GM View in LinkedIn

NOT SUFFICIENT. "Paradoxes exist, however, in the many examples of apparently closely related larvae giving rise to apparently distantly related adults, and the less common examples of apparently distantly related larvae giving rise to apparently closely related adults. Conventional explanations, when they exist, invoke either convergent evolution or larval conservatism." https://books.google.es/books?hl=en&lr=&id=4Bv_CAAAQBAJ&oi=fnd&pg=PR3&dq=evolution+of+larval+stage&ots=Ajv40BxpV8&sig=UoAuSNQhyUJxvYurqij18mPF3GM View in LinkedIn

MOSTLY ADEQUATE. "The larva and adult phases in development commonly follow totally different ways of life, and the process which Darwin called "descent with modification" and natural selection are frequently adequate to explain the differences in form that adapt them to their different environments." https://books.google.es/books?hl=en&lr=&id=4Bv_CAAAQBAJ&oi=fnd&pg=PR3&dq=evolution+of+larval+stage&ots=Ajv40BxpV8&sig=UoAuSNQhyUJxvYurqij18mPF3GM View in LinkedIn

NOT SUFFICIENT. "I claim that this theory alone is not adequate to explain why some animals have the embryos and larvae they do and the life histories they do." https://books.google.es/books?hl=en&lr=&id=4Bv_CAAAQBAJ&oi=fnd&pg=PR3&dq=evolution+of+larval+stage&ots=Ajv40BxpV8&sig=UoAuSNQhyUJxvYurqij18mPF3GM View in LinkedIn

"EVOLUTIONARY theory, as it is today generally accepted, postulates that species evolved from other species in monophyletic lines of descent by the accumulation of gradual hereditable changes.” https://books.google.es/books?hl=en&lr=&id=4Bv_CAAAQBAJ&oi=fnd&pg=PR3&dq=evolution+of+larval+stage&ots=Ajv40BxpV8&sig=UoAuSNQhyUJxvYurqij18mPF3GM View in LinkedIn

REBIRTH. "In rare cases, stressed, newly metamorphosed pocilloporid primary polyps are capable of retracting soft tissues from their deposited skeleton and reverting to a motile ‘secondary larva’, which is capable of resettling and re-metamorphosing into another founder polyp." https://lnkd.in/d68A9uu View in LinkedIn

HERESY REVERSED. "When Charles Darwin published his Origin of Species in 1859 it was considered heretical by most people. Today, the situation is reversed, and in biological circles at least, it is considered heretical not to agree with Darwin." (1992). https://books.google.es/books?hl=en&lr=&id=4Bv_CAAAQBAJ&oi=fnd&pg=PR3&dq=evolution+of+larval+stage&ots=Ajv40BxpV8&sig=UoAuSNQhyUJxvYurqij18mPF3GM View in LinkedIn

CHIMERIC LARVAE: "each presenting different combinations of maternal genotypic constituents, create genetically-complex sets of asexual propagules. This novel mode of inheritance in corals challenges classical postulations of sexual/asexual reproduction traits, as asexual derived chimeric larvae represent an alliance between genotypes that significantly sways the recruits’ absolute fitness.” https://lnkd.in/d68A9uu View in LinkedIn

DOC RICKETTS IN CANNERY ROW. (John Steinbeck). "Doc is also the smartest man in Cannery Row, interested in knowing something about everything. "Doc would listen to any kind of nonsense and change it for you to a kind of wisdom. His mind had no horizon," Steinbeck wrote. "Everyone who knew him was indebted to him. And everyone who thought of him thought next, 'I really must do something nice for Doc.' https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannery_Row_(novel) View in LinkedIn
