Aspidiophorus polystictos, a new marine species (Gastrotricha, Chaetonotida) and its life cycle [PDF]
Bollettino di zoologia, 1987 Abstract Aspidiophorus polystictos, a new marine species of Gastrotricha Chaetonotida is described and compared with the species of the group A. marinus ‐ A. mediterraneus. This species is characterized by the subrectangular shape of the scales. The life cycle of individuals reared under laboratory conditions is described for the first time in marine ...

Organisms Diversity & Evolution, 2015 Planktonic forms of Gastrotricha have been known since the 1850s, despite the fact that they are rather uncommon and difficult to collect. They are characterized by a round sack-shaped body, an absence of furcal adhesive tubes, and a different distribution of the locomotory ciliation compared to epibenthic and periphytic gastrotrichs. Today, planktonic
