Dear Friend,

Can we consider a mollusk with a veliger phase
more evolved than a mullusk without it ?

Is the veliger phase a real advantage ?

Are there species with the veliger phase and
species without it in the same Genus ?

If so, is it correct to consider the species
without veliger more primitive than the other ones
( inside the same Genus ) ?

The (Many) Questions Man...

Maurizio.
