TL;DR: Despite the apparent cellular and organismal simplicity of Trichoplax, its genome encodes a rich array of transcription factor and signalling pathway genes that are typically associated with diverse cell types and developmental processes in eumetazoans, motivating further searches for cryptic cellular complexity and/or as yet unobserved life history stages.

TL;DR: The first register of the marine species of the world is compiled and it is estimated that between one-third and two-thirds of marine species may be undescribed, and previous estimates of there being well over one million marine species appear highly unlikely.
Journal ArticleDOI
Medusozoan Phylogeny and Character Evolution Clarified by New Large and Small Subunit rDNA Data and an Assessment of the Utility of Phylogenetic Mixture Models
Allen Gilbert Collins,Peter Schuchert,Antonio C. Marques,Thomas Jankowski,Mónica Medina,Bernd Schierwater +5 more
TL;DR: A newly compiled data set of nearly complete sequences of the large subunit of the nuclear ribosome (LSU or 28S) sampled from 31 diverse medusozoans greatly clarifies the phylogenetic history of Cnidaria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Class-level relationships in the phylum Cnidaria: evidence from mitochondrial genome structure.
TL;DR: The structure of the mitochondrial genome in representatives of the four extant cnidarian classes and in the phylum Ctenophora is surveyed, finding that all anthozoan species tested possess mtDNA in the form of circular molecules, whereas all scyphozoan, cubozoa, and hydrozoan species tested display mt DNA in the forms of linear molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Character-based DNA barcoding allows discrimination of genera, species and populations in Odonata
TL;DR: The findings suggest that character-based DNA barcoding can be a rapid and reliable means for the assignment of unknown specimens to a taxonomic group, the exploration of diagnosability of conservation units, and complementing taxonomic identification systems.
