Taxonomic position of holothurian Eupentactafraudatrix (Echinodermata, Holothuroidea). [PDF]
ZookeysSamples of the holothurian Eupentacta fraudatrix (Djakonov & Baranova in Djakonov, Baranova & Saveljeva, 1958) from the Sea of Japan were studied and the relationships of the genera Eupentacta and Sclerodactyla, as well as related taxa, were evaluated on the basis of phylogenetic analysis of the mitochondrial DNA COI and 16S rRNA genes.

Molecular phylogeny of extant Holothuroidea (Echinodermata) [PDF]
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2017 Sea cucumbers (Holothuroidea) are a morphologically diverse, ecologically important, and economically valued clade of echinoderms; however, the understanding of the overall systematics of the group remains controversial. Here, we present a phylogeny of extant Holothuroidea assessed with maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian approaches ...

The catecholaminergic nerve plexus of Holothuroidea [PDF]
Zoomorphology, 2010 Catecholamines have been extensively reported to be present in most animal groups, including members of Echinodermata. In this study, we investigated the presence and distribution of catecholaminergic nerves in two members of the Holothuroidea, Holothuria glaberrima (Selenka, 1867) (Aspidochirotida, Holothuroidea) and Holothuria mexicana (Ludwig, 1875)
