    The curious and neglected soft-bodied meiofauna: Rouphozoa (Gastrotricha and Platyhelminthes)

    Gastrotricha and Platyhelminthes form a clade called Rouphozoa. Representatives of both taxa are main components of meiofaunal communities, but their role in the trophic ecology of marine and freshwater commun...

    Frontal organs in the Acoelomorpha (Turbellaria): Ultrastructure and phylogenetic significance

    Using characters discernible through electron microscopy, we redefine the organ traditionally identified as the frontal organ in acoelomorph turbellarians as being a collection of two to several large mucus-se...

    Is the Turbellaria polyphyletic?

    Within the last two decades, syntheses of both light-microscopic and ultrastructural characters have shown that there are three well-defined monophyletic groups within the Platyhelminthes: 1) the Catenulidale,...

    Ultrastructure of the frontal organ in Convoluta and Macrostomum spp.: significance for models of the turbellarian archetype

    Present models of turbellarian evolution depict the organism with a frontal organ — a complex of glands whose necks emerge at the anterior tip of the body — and therefore imply that this organ is homologous th...

    Fine-structural observations on the central parenchyma in Convoluta sp.

    Although the turbellarian order Acoela occupies a significant position in many theories on the origin of the Metazoa, detailed ultrastructural observations on members of this group are few in number. The acoel...
