Reversible shifts between interstitial and epibenthic habitats in evolutionary history: Molecular phylogeny of the marine flatworm family Boniniidae (Platyhelminthes: Polycladida: Cotylea) with descriptions of two new species [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 Tiny animals in various metazoan phyla inhabit the interstices between sand and/or gravel grains, and adaptive traits in their body plan, such as simplification and size reduction, have attracted research attention.

First records of Cotylea (Polycladida, Platyhelminthes) for the Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2014 A study of polyclad fauna of the Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula was carried out from 2010 to 2013. The paper reports nine new records belonging to three Cotylean families: the family Euryleptidae Lang, 1884, Pseudocerotidae Lang, 1884 and the ...

First Detection of Tetrodotoxins in the Cotylean Flatworm Prosthiostomum trilineatum [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2021 Several polyclad flatworm species are known to contain high levels of tetrodotoxin (TTX), but currently TTX-bearing flatworms seem to be restricted to specific Planocera lineages belonging to the suborder Acotylea.

Investigation of phylogenetic relationships within Saxifraga diversifolia complex (Saxifragaceae) based on restriction-site associated DNA sequence markers. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 This paper uses RAD‐seq technology to search for abundant SNP sites. Based on these markers, the phylogenetic relationship of the Saxifraga diversifolia Complex (Saxifragaceae) was studied. Abstract Subsect. Hirculoideae Engl. & Irmsch., belonging to Saxifraga sect. Ciliatae Haw., has high species richness. It can be divided into S.

Polyclads (Platyhelminthes) in the southern Gulf of Mexico: unveiling biodiversity and descriptions of two new species [PDF]
ZooKeysThe order Polycladida (Platyhelminthes) in Mexico has historically received limited attention from researchers, primarily due to challenges associated with its low detectability and the scarcity of specialists.

The Ultrastructure of the Apical Organ of the Goette's Larvae of the Polyclad Flatworm Stylochus pilidium Indicates Homology Between Polyclad Larvae. [PDF]
Cell Biol IntABSTRACT Polyclad flatworms exhibit both direct and indirect development, with various larval types observed, including Müller's larva, Kato's larva, Goette's larva and Curini‐Galletti's larva. The different larval types are distinguished by shape, number of eyes and number of lobes.
