Marine flatworm Acanthozoon sp.-associated bacteria with antibiotic property from the Java Sea
Neglected invertebrates, marine flatworms, have attracted global research interest due to their biological and chemical potential properties. The marine flatworms (Turbellaria), Phylum Platyhelminthes, belong to the Polycladida group.

The ultrastructure of the apical organ of Curini‐Galletti's larva, a new polyclad larval type
Abstract Polycladida are the only free‐living flatworms with a planktonic larval stage in some species. Currently, it is not clear if a larval stage is ancestral in polyclads, and which type of larva that would be. Known polyclad larvae are Müller's larva, Kato's larva and Goette's larva, differing by body shape and the number of lobes and eyes.

Abstract Research on intertidal mussel assemblages and associated communities has revealed that complexity and structure are influenced by environmental heterogeneity and local‐scale factors affecting recruitment. Research in situ in eastern and western Pacific intertidal ecosystems has suggested drivers of species diversity and community structure ...

Ultrastructure of spermatogenesis and mature spermatozoa in the flatworm Prosthiostomum siphunculus (Polycladida, Cotylea) [PDF]
AbstractThis is the first study investigating spermatogenesis and spermatozoan ultrastructure in the polyclad flatworm Prosthiostomum siphunculus. The testes are numerous and scattered as follicles ventrally between the digestive ramifications. Each follicle contains the different stages of sperm differentiation.

Acotylea (Platyhelminthes, Polycladida) from the southern and western Iberian Peninsula, with the description of five new species [PDF]
Most of the European polyclad species were described after material was collected from the Gulf of Naples, Italy, which was compiled in the renowned monograph of Arnold Lang in 1884.
