Early animal evolution: a morphologist's view [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Two hypotheses for the early radiation of the metazoans are vividly discussed in recent phylogenomic studies, the ‘Porifera-first’ hypothesis, which places the poriferans as the sister group of all other metazoans, and the ‘Ctenophora-first’ hypothesis ...

Alternative neural systems: What is a neuron? (Ctenophores, sponges and placozoans)
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 How to make a neuron, a synapse, and a neural circuit? Is there only one ‘design’ for a neural architecture with a universally shared genomic blueprint across species?

The mitochondrial genomes of sponges provide evidence for multiple invasions by Repetitive Hairpin-forming Elements (RHE) [PDF]
, 2009 Background: The mitochondrial (mt) genomes of sponges possess a variety of features, which appear to be intermediate between those of Eumetazoa and non-metazoan opisthokonts.

The role of cell replacement in benthic–pelagic coupling by suspension feeders [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 Benthic–pelagic coupling through suspension feeders and their detrital pathways is integral to carbon transport in oceans. In food-poor ecosystems however, a novel mechanism of carbon recycling has been proposed that involves direct uptake of dissolved ...
