Box and whisker plot of 742 growth ratios of extant and fossil euarthropods from literature.

Caption

Boxplots show comparisons of maximum, minimum and mean growth ratio between stages in total group euarthropods (data gathered from literature). Note how A. symbrachiata displays amongst the highest maximum growth ratio of any euarthropod in the literature (except for chironomid Chironomus, coenagrionid Ischnura cruzi and lycaenid Maculinea arion). The diagram is collated from various body parts of large number of modern and extinct euarthropods.
