Extract

In recent articles in this journal Hansen (1980) and Jablonski (1980) discussed the planktonic larval stages of fossil benthic invertebrates and the relation of type of larval development to geographic ranges, nearshore-offshore position, speciation, and extinction. The fossil record provides a view of long term consequences of types of larval development, and the emphasis of these, and other, paleobiological studies was on selection among species which are characterized by different developmental adaptations.
