Life Cycle and Life History Strategies of Parasitic Crustacea	2019-07-05		.txt	text/plain	33601	2328	61	Mating takes place soon Fig. 5.2 The generalised life cycle of an Ergasilus von Nordmann, 1832, species showing the freeliving naupliar and copepodid stages as well as the parasitic adult female. Cleaner shrimp similarly snip off the legs of small crustacean parasites to remove and eat them (Williams and Bunkley-Williams 1998b, unpublished data Many copepod parasites of invertebrates also have direct life cycles, but some have endoparasitic larvae and free-swimming adults, mesoparasitic larvae and ectoparasitic adults, and abbreviated or no larval stages. The free-living stages in the life cycles of ergasilids and many of the copepod species parasitising invertebrates suggest that they have more recently evolved a parasitic lifestyle. In parasitic copepods, the infective larva is, with rare exceptions, the first copepodid, and life cycles are direct, involving only a single host.	./cache/cord-019068-6j42euvc.txt	./txt/cord-019068-6j42euvc.txt
