Needs:

  • headers to divide the article up into appropriate sections ("structure", "types", etc.);
  • less complex information for non-specialists; in its present state it isn't very accessible to most people;
  • more information about the antennal types of different taxa;
  • explanation on the different types of antennae (filliform, pectinate, etc.). IronChris | (talk) 17:22, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Jefflayman (talk) 14:29, 28 December 2007 (UTC)This article says, "In most adults, the antenna are sensory organs, but they are used by the nauplius larva for both feeding and swimming." However, the Nauplius page says, "Nauplii larvae do not feed, but utilize their internal yolk reserves from the egg for energy." Will someone who knows the answer please clarify? Thanks.
