Open AccessThe velvet worm brain unveils homologies and evolutionary novelties across panarthropods
The evolution of the brain and its major neuropils in Panarthropoda (comprising Arthropoda, Tardigrada and Onychophora) remains enigmatic. As one of the closest relatives of arthropods, onychophorans are regar...

The nervous and visual systems of onychophorans and tardigrades: learning about arthropod evolution from their closest relatives
Understanding the origin and evolution of arthropods requires examining their closest outgroups, the tardigrades (water bears) and onychophorans (velvet worms). Despite the rise of molecular techniques, the ph...

Open AccessAssessing segmental versus non-segmental features in the ventral nervous system of onychophorans (velvet worms)
Due to their phylogenetic position as one of the closest arthropod relatives, studies of the organisation of the nervous system in onychophorans play a key role for understanding the evolution of body segmenta...

Open AccessInsights into the segmental identity of post-oral commissures and pharyngeal nerves in Onychophora based on retrograde fills
While the tripartite brain of arthropods is believed to have evolved by a fusion of initially separate ganglia, the evolutionary origin of the bipartite brain of onychophorans—one of the closest arthropod rela...

Open AccessSelective neuronal staining in tardigrades and onychophorans provides insights into the evolution of segmental ganglia in panarthropods
Although molecular analyses have contributed to a better resolution of the animal tree of life, the phylogenetic position of tardigrades (water bears) is still controversial, as they have been united alternati...
