Additional information

This work was inspired by stimulating discussions with A.H. Burr and P. Drach, and carried out at the Station Biologique at Roscoff where the staff were very helpful in collecting animals and in various other ways. The Netherlands Organization for the Advancement of Pure Research (ZWO) gave financial support.
