The evolutionary terrestrialization of planarian flatworms (Platyhelminthes, Tricladida, Geoplanidae): a review and research programme [PDF]
The terrestrialization of animal life from aquatic ancestors is a key transition during the history of life. Planarian flatworms form an ideal group of model organisms to study this colonization of the land because they have freshwater, marine, and ...

Do Not Lose Your Head over the Unequal Regeneration Capacity in Prolecithophoran Flatworms
One of the central questions in studying the evolution of regeneration in flatworms remains whether the ancestral flatworm was able to regenerate all body parts, including the head.

The circadian clock and melatonin coordinate homeostasis in many animals, yet their influence on reproduction and neoblast proliferation has only been shown in triclads. This study demonstrates that the early‐branching catenulid Stenostomum virginianum contains photoreceptive refractile bodies, synthesizes endogenous melatonin, and that exogenous ...

Structural Characterization and Spatial Mapping of Tetrodotoxins in Australian Polyclads
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent marine neurotoxin that occurs in several Australian phyla, including pufferfish, toadfish, gobies, and the blue-ringed octopus.

Disease is an important factor in fisheries, affecting both wild and cultured species. Using standard parasitological techniques we determined the prevalence, mean intensity and abundance of endoparasites from 250 specimens of two cichlids, Oreochromis ...

Cynnamoyl benzylpiperazine was identified as drug‐like derivative of cinnarizine with anthelmintic activity against A. cantonensis. In this work, 15 out of 31 derivatives showed improved anthelmintic activity with increased solubility. A SAR study was carried out to determine the molecular features involved in such effect.

Progress and Challenges in Phylogenomics and Genomics of Lophotrochozoa/Spiralia
ABSTRACT Lophotrochozoa is one of the three major bilaterian groups comprising more than half of the bilaterian phyla. Lophotrochozoa includes among others Mollusca, Annelida, Platyhelminthes and Rotifera. Despite representing such a large proportion of animal diversity, they are historically understudied and genomic resources have been scarce. However,
