11. Presumably it breeds by direct development and is therefore not dependent upon water for breeding. 12. The eggs of all gastrotrichs undergo direct development and hatch into miniature versions of the adult. 13. "Our advantage is the technology, " said Duncan Koerbel, who directs development of the Premier 1. 14. Given a brew of proteins that direct development , it could become any sort of collection of cells. 15. Unusual amongst amphibians, they have direct development where eggs develop to small froglets without free-living tadpole stage. 16. There seems to be an evolutionary trend towards a " lower-risk lower-gain " strategy of direct development . 17. This species probably breeds through direct development . 18. The Brachycephalidae all have direct development and hatch like miniature adults rather than as tadpoles like most frogs. 19. In these starfish and brittle stars, direct development without passing through a bilateral larval stage usually takes place. 20. This stage of direct development has allowed the coqui to become a successful terrestrial colonizer in tropical areas.
