To be or not to be a flatworm: the acoel controversy.
PLoS ONE, 2009 Since first described, acoels were considered members of the flatworms (Platyhelminthes). However, no clear synapomorphies among the three large flatworm taxa -- the Catenulida, the Acoelomorpha and the Rhabditophora -- have been characterized to date ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Nuclear receptors (NRs), a series of key transcription factors that are mostly activated by endogenous ligands or environmental xenobiotics, are reportedly good phylogenetic markers of animal genome evolution. As the early diverging class of bilaterians,

First Detection of Tetrodotoxins in the Cotylean Flatworm Prosthiostomum trilineatum
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.

The tapeworm interactome: inferring confidence scored protein-protein interactions from the proteome of Hymenolepis microstoma [PDF]
, 2020 BACKGROUND: Reference genome and transcriptome assemblies of helminths have reached a level of completion whereby secondary analyses that rely on accurate gene estimation or syntenic relationships can be now conducted with a high level of confidence ...

Epizoic acoelomorph flatworms compete with their coral host for zooplankton [PDF]
, 2011 Satisfying nutrient requirement of corals is still a major constraint for maintaining corals in marine aquariums. Corals are polytrophic in nature. Heterotrophic feeding on zooplankton is one of the corals’ strategies to overcome nutrient deficiency ...

Biology Open, 2012 Summary Many scleractinian coral species host epizoic acoelomorph flatworms, both in aquaculture and in situ. These symbiotic flatworms may impair coral growth and health through light-shading, mucus removal and disruption of heterotrophic feeding.

Biological controls to manage Acropora-eating flatworms in coral aquaculture
Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2020 Coral aquaculture is expanding to supply the marine ornamental trade and active coral reef restoration. A common pest of Acropora corals is the Acropora-eating flatworm Prosthiostomum acroporae, which can cause colonial mortality at high infestation ...
