The central nervous system of Oweniidae (Annelida) and its implications for the structure of the ancestral annelid brain

open access: yesFrontiers in Zoology, 2019
Background Recent phylogenomic analyses congruently reveal a basal clade which consists of Oweniidae and Mageloniidae as sister group to the remaining Annelida. These results indicate that the last common ancestor of Annelida was a tube-dwelling organism.

Mitochondrial Genome Evolution in Annelida—A Systematic Study on Conservative and Variable Gene Orders and the Factors Influencing its Evolution

open access: yesSystematic Biology, 2023
The mitochondrial genomes of Bilateria are relatively conserved in their protein-coding, rRNA, and tRNA gene complement, but the order of these genes can range from very conserved to very variable depending on the taxon.

Fine structure of the brain in Amphinomida (Annelida)

open access: yesActa Zoologica, 2021
Amphinomida is arguably one of the most notorious annelid taxa. For the nonspecialists, some are betterknown as “fire worms,” that plague aquaria and cause painful, burning skin irritations with their eponymous stinging chaetae (Borda et al., 2015 ...

A proposed order-level classification in Oligochaeta (Annelida, Clitellata).

open access: yesZootaxa, 2021
The purpose of our contribution is to propose a robust and practical order-level classification of the families of Oligochaeta, that is, non-leech Clitellata. The order level is mandatory in Linnaean rank-based classification and is also required in many

A probable oligochaete from an Early Triassic Lagerstätte of the southern Cis-Urals and its evolutionary implications [PDF]

open access: yesActa Palaeontologica Polonica, 2020
Oligochaetes, despite their important role in terrestrial ecosystems and a tremendous biomass, are extremely rare fossils. The palaeontological record of these worms is restricted to some cocoons, presumable trace fossils and a few body fossils the most ...
