Arthropod Post-embryonic Development

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Arthropod Biology and Evolution

Abstract

The study of arthropod post-embryonic development is a chapter of biology that requires a new conceptual framework. Some of the reasons behind the inadequacy of the prevailing approach are common to the study of post-embryonic development of all, or most, animals groups; others are specific to the Arthropoda.
