Cover Illustration: Parallel switches in larval nutrition have resulted in extensive parallelisms in larval morphology within the sea urchins (Echinodermata: Echinoidea). Phylogenetic analyses of larval morphology highlight the degree of convergence in larval form and suggest a model for its origin. (See Wray, pages 308--322.)
