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 ...

Identification and evolution of nuclear receptors in Platyhelminths. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Since the first complete set of Platyhelminth nuclear receptors (NRs) from Schistosoma mansoni were identified a decade ago, more flatworm genome data is available to identify their NR complement and to analyze the evolutionary relationship of ...

Proseriate turbellarians (Platyhelminthes: Rhabditophora) in the egg mass of the commercially important horsehair crab, Erimacrus isenbeckii (Crustacea: Decapoda), from Hokkaido, Japan [PDF]
Zoologia (Curitiba)We report a complex community of ectosymbionts in the egg mass of the horsehair crab Erimacrus isenbeckii (Brandt, 1848) from Hokkaido, Japan. We examined eight individual crab pleopods containing eggs and 56 pleopods without eggs.

Evolution of the Cdk4/6-Cdkn2 system in invertebrates. [PDF]
Genes CellsHypothesis on the evolution of the Cdkn2 locus. (a) Loss of Cdkn2 occurred multiple times. (b) Evolution of microsynteny at the Cdkn2 locus. Cdkn2e is a hypothetical transient gene. Abstract The cell cycle is driven by cyclin‐dependent kinases (Cdks). The decision whether the cell cycle proceeds is made during G1 phase, when Cdk4/6 functions.
