Future research directions of the model marine tubeworm Hydroides elegans and synthesis of developmental staging of the complete life cycle.

The present synthesis and associated staging scheme are especially timely as this system gains traction within research communities. Characterizing the Hydroides life cycle is essential for investigating the molecular mechanisms that drive major developmental transitions, like metamorphosis, in response to bacteria.
