The complete mitogenome of the inarticulate brachiopod Glottidia pyramidata reveals insights into gene order variation, deviant ATP8 and mtORFans in the Brachiopoda [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021 Brachiopods are a clade of marine organisms with a tremendously diverse and abundant fossil record but with fewer than 500 species extant today. Even if a better understanding of their biology and genetics could help to test hypotheses about their ...

Brachiopod Fauna from the Deep Mediterranean Sea: Distribution Patterns and Ecological Preferences
Diversity, 2022 Compared to their fossil counterparts, living brachiopods are investigated far less often, due to their occurrence in remote environments such as dark caves or deep environments.
