Placozoa Are Not Derived Cnidarians: Evidence from Molecular Morphology [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2003 The phylum Placozoa is represented by a single known species, Trichoplax adhaerens, a tiny marine organism that represents the most simple metazoan bauplan. Because of the latter, placozoans were originally considered the most basal metazoan phylum.

Let’s end taxonomic blank slates with molecular morphology
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Many known evolutionary lineages have yet to be described formally due to a lack of traditional morphological characters. This is true for genetically distinctive groups within the amoeboid Placozoa animals, the protists in ponds, and the bacteria that ...

New genomic data and analyses challenge the traditional vision of animal epithelium evolution
BMC Genomics, 2018 Background The emergence of epithelia was the foundation of metazoan expansion. Epithelial tissues are a hallmark of metazoans deeply rooted in the evolution of their complex developmental morphogenesis processes.

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.Direct eDNA metabarcoding is the most scalable method for large benthic monitoring programs, provided that sampling effort is increased to compensate for slightly lower per‐sample biodiversity recovery. ABSTRACT DNA metabarcoding offers prospects to assess benthic biodiversity in a more scalable and comprehensive way, but processing methods remain ...

Amino acids integrate behaviors in nerveless placozoans
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 Placozoans are the simplest known free-living animals without recognized neurons and muscles but a complex behavioral repertoire. However, mechanisms and cellular bases of behavioral coordination are unknown.

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Crustaceans, such as shrimp and crabs, are pivotal to global aquaculture, yet their productivity is severely impacted by low‐temperature stress. This study employs comparative transcriptomic and genomic analyses to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying crustacean responses to cold stress across five economically significant species ...

Identification, distribution and molecular evolution of the pacifastin gene family in Metazoa
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009 Background Members of the pacifastin family are serine peptidase inhibitors, most of which are produced as multi domain precursor proteins. Structural and biochemical characteristics of insect pacifastin-like peptides have been studied intensively, but ...

Differentiation of Crystal Cells, Gravity-Sensing Cells in the Placozoan Trichoplax adhaerens
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Trichoplax adhaerens are simple animals with no nervous system, muscles or body axis. Nevertheless, Trichoplax demonstrate complex behaviors, including responses to the direction of the gravity vector.
