چکیده

The case put by Alexey Smirnov in 2012 is accepted and the order name Synaptida Cuénot is adopted in place of Apodida Brandt. Two new Myriotrochidae Théel species from the continental slope of Australia are described: Prototrochus robbinsae sp. nov. and Prototrochus roniae sp. nov.  A key to the six Australasian species of Prototrochus Beljaev & Mironov and a distribution and depth map are provided.

Phylogeny of Sea Cucumber (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) as Inferred from 16S Mitochondrial rrna Gene Sequences (Filogeni Timun Laut (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) Berdasarkan Jujukan Gen 16S Mitokondria rrna)

This study aimed to determine phylogenetic relationship between and among selected species of sea cucumbers (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) using 16S mitochondrial ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene. Phylogenetic analyses of 37 partial sequences of 16S mitochondrial rRNA gene using three main methods namely neighbour joining (NJ), maximum parsimony (MP) and maximum likelihood (ML) showed the presence of ...

New host for the parasitic worm Anoplodium sp . ( Rhabditophora : Platyhelminthes ) found in the sea cucumber Isostichopus fuscus ( Holothuroidea : Echinodermata )

A flatworm was discovered inside the coelomic cavity of the commercial sea cucumber Isostichopus fuscus along the Pacific coast of Mexico. Based on morphological and genetic evidence, it was determined to be Anoplodium sp. belonging to class Rhabditophora. Thus, the sea cucumber I. fuscus constitutes a new host. The flatworms were consistently found on the surface of the haemal vessels and the ...

Low coverage sequencing of three echinoderm genomes: the brittle star Ophionereis fasciata, the sea star Patiriella regularis, and the sea cucumber Australostichopus mollis.

BACKGROUND There are five major extant groups of Echinodermata: Crinoidea (feather stars and sea lillies), Ophiuroidea (brittle stars and basket stars), Asteroidea (sea stars), Echinoidea (sea urchins, sea biscuits, and sand dollars), and Holothuroidea (sea cucumbers). These animals are known for their pentaradial symmetry as adults, unique water vascular system, mutable collagenous tissues, an...
