Fossil constraints on the origin and evolution of Platyhelminthes are surprisingly concordant with modern molecular phylogenies [PDF]

Zoologia (Curitiba)
Trace fossils preserved with fossil worm-shaped remains suggest the presence of free-living flatworms during the Ordovician at the latest and their occurrence in terrestrial environments during the Permian.

Systematic revision of the family Pleioplanidae Faubel, 1983 (Polycladida, Acotylea): new genus and combinations

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2017
New morphological information, reconsiderations and the first combination of a generic name based on a previously established species are presented in the current revision of the family Pleioplanidae (Polycladida, Acotylea).

The chimerical and multifaceted marine acoel Symsagittifera roscoffensis: from photosymbiosis to brain regeneration [PDF]

, 2014
International audienceA remarkable example of biological engineering is the capability of some marine animals to take advantage of photosynthesis by hosting symbiotic algae.

Persistence of Nocturnality in Decapitated and Bisected Flatworms

, 2023
The ability of flatworms to regenerate entire brain structures, and indeed much of their body from mere fragments of the whole animal, presents the unique opportunity to observe the development of day-night rhythms in adult animals.

Transcriptional signatures of somatic neoblasts and germline cells in Macrostomum lignano

eLife, 2016
The regeneration-capable flatworm Macrostomum lignano is a powerful model organism to study the biology of stem cells in vivo. As a flatworm amenable to transgenesis, it complements the historically used planarian flatworm models, such as Schmidtea ...

A SIMPLE TECHNIQUE FOR STAINING OF PLATYHELMINTHS WITH THE LACTOPHNOL COTTON BLUE STAIN [PDF]

Journal of the Egyptian Society of Parasitology, 2013
This paper describes a simple technique for staining of flatworms using lactophenol cotton blue (LPCB). The staining was tested on 2 trematode species: Heterophyes heterophyes and Mesostephanus appendiculatus, and one cestode: Diplopylidium acanthotetra,

Atp8 is in the ground pattern of flatworm mitochondrial genomes

BMC Genomics, 2017
Background To date, mitochondrial genomes of more than one hundred flatworms (Platyhelminthes) have been sequenced. They show a high degree of similarity and a strong taxonomic bias towards parasitic lineages.

Variable host responses mediate host preference in marine flatworm-snail symbioses.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Host preference of symbionts evolves from fitness trade-offs. However, it is often unclear how interspecific variations in host response traits influence this evolutionary process.

Titin Is Present in the Elastic Tethers That Connect Separating Anaphase Chromosomes in Crane‐Fly Spermatocytes

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Elastic tethers connect telomeres of separating chromosomes in anaphase of animal cells. Immunofluorescence staining of titin in crane‐fly spermatocytes, using 4 different antibodies, shows that the giant elastic protein titin seems to be a component of mitotic tethers: titin “strands” extend between separating chromosomes, connecting their ...
