First records of Cotylea (Polycladida, Platyhelminthes) for the Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2014 A study of polyclad fauna of the Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula was carried out from 2010 to 2013. The paper reports nine new records belonging to three Cotylean families: the family Euryleptidae Lang, 1884, Pseudocerotidae Lang, 1884 and the ...

Sticking Together an Updated Model for Temporary Adhesion [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2022 Non-parasitic flatworms are known to temporarily attach to the substrate by secreting a multicomponent bioadhesive to counteract water movements. However, to date, only species of two higher-level flatworm taxa (Macrostomorpha and Proseriata) have been ...

Free-living clinging flatworms (Rhabditophora, Polycladida) associated with Sargassum from the Caribbean Coast of Colombia [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalPolyclads are a diverse group of marine free-living flatworms, with some species adapted to life in floating Sargassum mats. Recent studies suggest that, rather than being inherently pelagic, these flatworms should be classified as "clinging fauna ...

A World of Viruses Nested within Parasites: Unraveling Viral Diversity within Parasitic Flatworms (Platyhelminthes) [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Because parasites have an inextricable relationship with their host, they have the potential to serve as viral reservoirs or facilitate virus host shifts.

Description of a new species of Paraplehnia (Polycladida, Stylochoidea) from Japan, with inference on the phylogenetic position of Plehniidae [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2019 We describe a new species of polyclad flatworm, Paraplehnia seisuiae sp. nov., from 298–310 m depths in the Sea of Kumano, West Pacific, Japan. Paraplehnia seisuiae sp. nov.

Aquatic Biology, 2017 The order Polycladida comprises a highly diverse and cosmopolitan group of marine turbellarian flatworms. Owing to the great morphological diversity and the absence of a molecular phylogeny, the classification of this group has always been controversial.

Morphology and phylogeny of two acotylean flatworms (Platyhelminthes, Polycladida) from the genera Cryptophallus and Limnoplana in the South China Sea [PDF]
ZooKeysWe describe two new species of the genera Cryptophallus Bock, 1913 and Limnoplana Faubel, 1983, which have not been reported for nearly a century. Herein, the genus Limnoplana represents a rare group of polyclads inhabiting brackish waters. Cryptophallus

Developmental diversity in free-living flatworms [PDF]
EvoDevo, 2012 Flatworm embryology has attracted attention since the early beginnings of comparative evolutionary biology. Considered for a long time the most basal bilaterians, the Platyhelminthes (excluding Acoelomorpha) are now robustly placed within the Spiralia ...
