Without being in any of these papers and not really much into this topic, this manuscript was submitted and available way before the iscience one (October 2024). Nature took one year to publish? What were they doing!!!!

Am sure if you threw your paper here, there would be enough reviewer 2 volunteers happy to tear it into pieces. For free, and in less than 2h. In X, even more.

TBH I see people here correcting each other for free

Looks like it's trying to be back a citron

But looks like not stablished? (Fingers crossed)

del turron de chocolate hemos pasado al chocolate de turron?

that's an adult. @yniimi808.bsky.social would you dare to throw a genus to that one?

No problem :)

Feel free to reach me also to my email (easy to find me online).

The last postlarval stages, the furcilia, they get closer and closer to an adult, so might be tricky. But, they keep adding pleopods at each molt. So, if you see a small adult with missing pleopods or with "weak" pleopods without the setae needed for swimming (like hairless buds), likely a furcilia.

They are not that common in coastal waters though, mostly juveniles, but I think since species go to shallow waters for reproduction.

As a group, cosmopolitan from surface to bathypelagic

Which species? There are ~100 worldwide

...And thank you for taking the time to respond!

I wonder often if we will ever do - if there is enough information left for such deep nodes...

TBH I just enjoy this beautiful come and forth and I use it in my invertebrate zoology class as an example of how we advance knowledge, and how well should keep challenging previous results. So, I will add this publication to the lectures pool! Congrats!
And sorry for missing the Schulz citation!

How do you reconcile this with Schulz 2023 (didn't see it cited on the paper)? Since I have seen many of the phylogenomic debate, but this one was giving a different approach
