The Evolutionary Ecology of Metamorphosis [PDF]
American Naturalist, 2019 Almost all animal species undergo metamorphosis, even though empirical data show that this life-history strategy evolved only a few times. Why is metamorphosis so widespread, and why has it evolved? Here we study the evolution of metamorphosis by using a

The direct cost of amphibian metamorphosis: insights from body weight loss in facultative paedomorphs [PDF]
BMC BiologyBackground Metamorphosis is a key event in the life history of many organisms, including amphibians, because it can involve abrupt changes in morphology and habitat.

The Influence of Bacteria on Animal Metamorphosis
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2020 The swimming larvae of many marine animals identify a location on the seafloor to settle and undergo metamorphosis based on the presence of specific surface-bound bacteria.

Cell death during complete metamorphosis
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019 In insects that undergo complete metamorphosis, cell death is essential for reshaping or removing larval tissues and organs, thus contributing to formation of the adult's body structure.
