The moulting arthropod: a complete genetic toolkit review
Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 6, Page 2338-2375, December 2024.ABSTRACT Exoskeletons are a defining character of all arthropods that provide physical support for their segmented bodies and appendages as well as protection from the environment and predation. This ubiquitous yet evolutionarily variable feature has been instrumental in facilitating the adoption of a variety of lifestyles and the exploitation of ...

Origin and evolution of microvilli
Biology of the Cell, Volume 116, Issue 11, November 2024.Microvilli are widespread organelles of animal cells that frequently play a role in sensation and feeding. Ansel et al. reconstitute their origin and evolution by performing a broad morphological survey of microvilli in animals and their unicellular relatives, coupled with a bioinformatic study of the phylogenetic distribution of the main microvillar ...

Ecdysis in a stem-group euarthropod from the early Cambrian of China
Scientific Reports, 2019 Moulting is a fundamental component of the ecdysozoan life cycle, but the fossil record of this strategy is susceptible to preservation biases, making evidence of ecdysis in soft-bodied organisms extremely rare. Here, we report an exceptional specimen of

Molecular approaches to the study of ecdysozoan evolution [PDF]
, 2010 The Ecdysozoa is a large clade of animals comprising the vast majority of living species and some of the most studied invertebrate models, including fruitflies and nematodes.

An Orthologue of the Retinoic Acid Receptor (RAR) Is Present in the Ecdysozoa Phylum Priapulida
, 2019 Signalling molecules and their cognate receptors are central components of the Metazoa endocrine system. Defining their presence or absence in extant animal lineages is critical to accurately devise evolutionary patterns, physiological shifts and the ...

, 2004 There has been broad acceptance among evolutionary biologists of the Ecdysozoa hypothesis that, based principally on molecular phylogenetic studies of small and large subunit ribosomal RNA sequences, postulates a close relationship between molting taxa ...

An ancient anterior patterning system promotes Caudal repression and head formation in Ecdysozoa. [PDF]
, 2009 SummaryPosterior expression of Caudal is required for early embryonic development in nematodes, arthropods, and vertebrates [1–9]. In Drosophila, ectopic Caudal in anterior cells can induce head defects, and in Caenorhabditis the absence of Caudal in ...

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2013 A vital feature in the success of Ecdysozoa is their ability to shed their exoskeleton (a process called ecdysis) such that they can grow or change their morphology.

, 2010 The ancestral genome composition in Onychophora (velvet worms) is unknown since only a single species of Peripatidae has been studied thus far, which shows a highly derived gene order with numerous translocated genes. Due to this lack of information from
