Which one of the following statements about the evolution of larval dispersal in marine snails is false?
A)The observation that non-dispersing snails are more sedentary may lead to greater instances of allopatric speciation.
B)Clades of non-dispersing snails are less species rich than dispersing snails.
C)Loss of structures in the transition from dispersing to non-dispersing may inhibit evolutionary reversal.
D)Possession of dispersing larvae is the ancestral state in snails.
E)Cladistics shows that there are more instances of the transition from dispersing to non-dispersing larvae than the reversE.
