Marine Evolution

Marine habitat is less explored, and hence, its biological diversity is far less known. The marine habitats are not constant due to their shifting nature, while the terrestrial habitats are more stable. Marine biology is the science that deals with the study of diverse marine species, their interactions, and behavioral characteristics.

a marine blue crab has ten pairs of jointed appendages, which include large claws called chelipeds to capture food, and eight walking appendages. Notice the differences in the structure of these 8 pairs. Compare the structures present in the first 3 pairs (modified as maxillipeds), and the last five pairs.
