Abstract
The ontogeny of larval forms of invertebrates and vertebrates has fascinated embryologists and volutionary biologists for centuries (Gould, 1977). We are now at a stage when appropriate choices of models of metazoan developmental phenomena may allow us to understand them on a mechanistic and molecular level. Success in this venture may depend on the ultimate complexity of the model chosen to study and for this reason potential models of minimal complexity should be sought.
