Phylogenetic position of a whale-fall lancelet (Cephalochordata) inferred from whole mitochondrial genome sequences [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007 Background The lancelet Asymmetron inferum (subphylum Cephalochordata) was recently discovered on the ocean floor off the southwest coast of Japan at a depth of 229 m, in an anaerobic and sulfide-rich environment caused by decomposing bodies of the sperm

Ciliary Hovering in Larval Lancelets (=Amphioxus)
The Biological Bulletin, 1995 Larvae of lancelets (=amphioxus) are of special interest because they figure prominently in debates about vertebrate origins (1), can sometimes grow into a giant "amphioxides" form (2, 3), have a puzzling right-left asymmetry (4), and constitute a major zooplankton resource in parts of the Atlantic (5).

Occurrence of Asymmetron lucayanum Andrews, 1893 (Cephalochordata, Branchiostomatidae) from Cozumel Island, Mexican Caribbean [PDF]
Check ListRecords of cephalochordates, also known as lancelets, are rare in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. In this work, we present evidence of the presence of Asymmetron lucayanum Andrews, 1893 (Amphioxiformes, Branchiostomatidae) on Cozumel Island ...

Distribution and localization of immunoreactive FMRFamide-like peptides in the lancelet.
European journal of histochemistry : EJH, 1999 Immunofluorescence was used to study the distribution of FMRFamide (Phe-Met-Arg-Phe-NH2) in premetamorphic larvae and adults of the lancelet, Branchiostoma lanceolatum. In the larvae, FMR-Famide-containing presumably neuronal perikarya and fibers were limited to the anterior third of the dorsal nerve cord.

Year-round reproduction and induced spawning of Chinese amphioxus, Branchiostoma belcheri, in laboratory. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Amphioxus is a best candidate for studying the evolutionary and developmental mechanisms of vertebrates, because of its vertebrate-like but much simpler morphology, embryonic development and genome structure.

Optical Clearing and Light Sheet Microscopy Imaging of Amphioxus
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Cephalochordates (amphioxi or lancelets) are representatives of the most basally divergent group of the chordate phylum. Studies of amphioxus development and anatomy hence provide a key insight into vertebrate evolution.

Phylogenetic relationships of the lancelets of the genus Branchiostoma in China inferred from mitochondrial genome analysis [PDF]
, 2010 It is commonly accepted that the Branchiostoma lancelets in South and North China belong to Branchiostoma belcheri (Gray, 1847) and Branchiostoma belcheri tsingtauense (Tchang and Koo, 1934),respectively. Three partial mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) fragments
