Why Homoscleromorph Sponges Have Ciliated Epithelia: Evidence for an Ancestral Role in Mucociliary Driven Particle Flux

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 344, Issue 8, Page 505-516, December 2025.
Epithelia are typically ciliated, except in sponges. Of all Porifera only Homoscleromorphs have motile cilia on their epithelia. Our data highlight the presence of cilia and mucociliary particle transport as a common feature of metazoa and a secondary loss in other sponge lineages.

Laminar shell structure of Antigonambonites planus (Pander, 1830) (Brachiopoda, Billingsellida) [PDF]

open access: yesEstonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2017
The order Billingsellida comprises brachiopods with laminar and fibrous shells, however, the data on their microstructure are scanty and the taxonomic value of differences in their shell structure is uncertain.

The Evolution of Brachiopoda [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2016
Brachiopods are (perhaps all too) familiar to any geology student who has taken an invertebrate paleontology course; they may well be less familiar to biology students. Even though brachiopods are among the most significant components of the marine fossil record by virtue of their considerable diversity, abundance, and long evolutionary history, fewer ...

PHOTOGRAPHY: A CONVENIENT TECHNIQUE FOR RECORDING SERIAL TRANSVERSE SECTIONS OF BRACHIOPODS

open access: yesRivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2017
A review of the bibliography coupled with the Authors' personal experience shows that drawing, as a technique for recording serial transverse sections of Brachiopods is inadequate and inaccurate.

Structural Basis of GABAB Receptor Activation during Evolution

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 37, October 6, 2025.
This study explores the structural and functional mechanisms of the drosophila GABAB receptor, a key role in neurotransmission. Using cryo‐EM, the research reveals how the receptor's activation differs from its human counterpart, highlighting unique evolutionary features.

Testing the core–periphery hypothesis: a standardised multi‐phylum assessment of genetic diversity of marine coastal species

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 10, October 2025.
The core–periphery hypothesis (CPH) predicts that genetic diversity is greatest at the centre and lowest at the edges of a species' distribution because genetic diversity is a function of a species' abundance, which is also expected to be greatest at the centre and lowest at the edges of the distribution. Variants of the CPH include the ‘Ramped North' (

A supra-ordinal classification of the Brachiopoda

open access: yes, 1996
A new classification of the Brachiopoda is proposed to take into account recent advances in our understanding of the anatomy, shell morphology, ontogeny and phylogeny of the phylum.
