Fine taxonomic sampling of nervous systems within Naididae (Annelida: Clitellata) reveals evolutionary lability and revised homologies of annelid neural components
(BioMed Central, 2015)
Introduction: An important goal for understanding how animals have evolved is to reconstruct the ancestral features and evolution of the nervous system. Many inferences about nervous system evolution are weak because of ...
Long-term time-lapse live imaging reveals extensive cell migration during annelid regeneration
(BioMed Central, 2016)
Background: Time-lapse imaging has proven highly valuable for studying development, yielding data of much finer resolution than traditional “still-shot” studies and allowing direct examination of tissue and cell dynamics. ...
Transcriptome characterization via 454 pyrosequencing of the annelid Pristina leidyi, an emerging model for studying the evolution of regeneration
(2012-06-29)
Background: The naid annelids contain a number of species that vary in their ability to regenerate lost body parts,
making them excellent candidates for evolution of regeneration studies. However, scant sequence data ...
Plasticity and regeneration of gonads in the annelid Pristina leidyi
(Springer Nature, 2016-10-04)
Gonads are specialized gamete-producing structures that, despite their functional importance, are generated by diverse mechanisms across groups of animals and can be among the most plastic organs of the body. Annelids, the ...
A new transcriptome and transcriptome profiling of adult and larval tissue in the box jellyfish Alatina alata: an emerging model for studying venom, vision and sex
(Springer Nature, 2016-08-17)
Cubozoans (box jellyfish) are cnidarians that have evolved a number of distinguishing features. Many cubozoans have a particularly potent sting, effected by stinging structures called nematocysts; cubozoans have well-developed ...
