Evolutionary Implications of the microRNA- and piRNA Complement of Lepidodermella squamata (Gastrotricha) [PDF]
Non-Coding RNA, 2019 Gastrotrichs—’hairy bellies’—are microscopic free-living animals inhabiting marine and freshwater habitats. Based on morphological and early molecular analyses, gastrotrichs were placed close to nematodes, but recent phylogenomic ...

The phylogenetic position of dicyemid mesozoans offers insights into spiralian evolution [PDF]
Zoological Letters, 2017 Background Obtaining phylogenomic data for enigmatic taxa is essential to achieve a better understanding of animal evolution. Dicyemids have long fascinated biologists because of their highly simplified body organization, but their life-cycles remain ...
