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 ...

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 ...

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

Reinvestigating the early embryogenesis in the flatworm Maritigrella crozieri highlights the unique spiral cleavage program found in polyclad flatworms [PDF]
EvoDevo, 2019 Background Spiral cleavage is a conserved, early developmental mode found in several phyla of Lophotrochozoans resulting in highly diverse adult body plans.

Policládidos (Platyhelminthes: "Turbellaria") del Atlántico Tropical Occidental
Biota Colombiana, 2004 El phylum Platyhelminthes es considerado una ramificación ancestral dentro de los phyla bilaterales (Hyman 1951). A éste pertenecen gusanos acelomados y dorsoventralmente aplanados que carecen de sistemas circulatorio y respiratorio (Hyman 1951).

Cell Biology International, Volume 47, Issue 8, Page 1354-1367, August 2023., 2023 Abstract The tiger flatworm Prostheceraeus crozieri (Polycladida) develops via an eight‐lobed, and three‐eyed planktonic Müller's larva. This larva has an apical organ, ultrastructural details of which remain elusive due to a scarcity of studies.
