Global diversity of the Placozoa.
PLoS ONE, 2013 The enigmatic animal phylum Placozoa holds a key position in the metazoan Tree of Life. A simple bauplan makes it appear to be the most basal metazoan known and genetic evidence also points to a position close to the last common metazoan ancestor ...

An extinct clade of the basal Epitheliozoa: phylogenetic position and implication of the enigmatic Cambrian chancelloriids [PDF]
Communications BiologyThe notable disparity of animal body plans can be traced back to the morphological innovations during the Cambrian explosion and represented by a number of soft-bodied and skeletal fossils that provide a compelling narrative for animal evolution ...

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2020 Placozoa are small disc-shaped animals, representing the simplest known, possibly ancestral, organization of free-living animals. With only six morphological distinct cell types, without any recognized neurons or muscle, placozoans exhibit fast effector ...

Long-term dynamics of placozoan culture: emerging models for population and space biology [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental BiologyAs the simplest free-living animal, Trichoplax adhaerens (Placozoa) is emerging as a powerful paradigm to decipher molecular and cellular bases of behavior, enabling integrative studies at all levels of biological organization in the context of metazoan ...

Bioeffects of Prunus spinosa L. fruit ethanol extract on reproduction and phenotypic plasticity of Trichoplax adhaerens Schulze, 1883 (Placozoa) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 The aim of this work was to test and analyse the bioeffects of Prunus spinosa L. (Rosacaee) fruit ethanol extract on Trichoplax adhaerens Schulze, 1883 (Placozoa) laboratory cultures which—for the first time—were employed as in vivo biological model to ...
