Description
Daphnella levicallis is a member of the order Neogastropoda. Neogastropoda are mostly gonochoric and broadcast spawners. The embryos grow into planktonic trocophore larvae, then later into juvenile veligers.
Distribution
This species occurs in the Sea of Cortez, Western Mexico.
gollark: I'm not very "rich" personally, I have £1.90 in my bank account and mostly cheap old/used computery stuff, but my family is pretty "bourgeoisie", as silly communist people would say.
gollark: Ah, I see.
gollark: I can never remember which way round the percentiles go.
gollark: In poorer countries, people have more children so they can get more support when they are old and as a contingency in case few survive to adulthood.
gollark: There's probably more than that.
