Tagmatization in Stomatopoda – reconsidering functional units of modern-day mantis shrimps (Verunipeltata, Hoplocarida) and implications for the interpretation of fossils

Tagmatization in Stomatopoda – reconsidering functional units of modern-day mantis shrimps (Verunipeltata, Hoplocarida) and implications for the interpretation of fossils

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Introduction</p> <p>We describe the tagmatization pattern of the anterior region of the extant stomatopod <it>Erugosquilla massavensis</it>. For documentation we used the autofluorescence capacities of the specimens, resulting in a signifi...
