Global Diversity of Brittle Stars (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea)
This review presents a comprehensive overview of the current status regarding the global diversity of the echinoderm class Ophiuroidea, focussing on taxonomy and distribution patterns, with brief introduction to their anatomy, biology, phylogeny, and palaeontological history. A glossary of terms is provided. Species names and taxonomic decisions have been extracted from the literature and compi...
متن کاملEvolutionary history of regeneration in crinoids (Echinodermata).
The fossil record indicates that crinoids have exhibited remarkable regenerative abilities since their origin in the Ordovician, abilities that they likely inherited from stem-group echinoderms. Regeneration in extant and fossil crinoids is recognized by abrupt differences in the size of abutting plates, aberrant branching patterns, and discontinuities in carbon isotopes. While recovery is comm...
متن کاملPCB exposure and regeneration in crinoids (Echinodermata)
Echinoderm regeneration provides a convenient and tractable test to monitor the effects of persistent micropollutants on the developmental physiology of marine animals. Regeneration involves crucial and sensitive biological processes (cell proliferation, morphogenesis, differentiation, tissue renewal) that make it an ideal tool to assess micropollutants at the tissue and cellular level. Our res...
متن کاملPhylogeny of Holothuroidea (Echinodermata) inferred from morphology
Holothuroids, or sea cucumbers, are an abundant and diverse group of echinoderms with over 1400 species occurring from the intertidal to the deepest oceanic trenches. In this study, we report the first phylogeny of this class, based on a cladistic analysis of 47 morphological characters. We introduce several previously unconsidered synapomorphic characters, examine the relationships between rep...
متن کاملMolecular phylogeny of the Valvatacea (Asteroidea: Echinodermata)
The Valvatacea is one the most ecologically important, taxonomically diverse, and widespread groups of postPalaeozoic (i.e. modern) Asteroidea. Classification within the group has been historically problematic. We present a comprehensively sampled, three-gene (12S, 16S, early-stage histone H3) molecular phylogenetic analysis of the Valvatacea. We include five of the six families within the Paxi...
