Conservative route to genome compaction in a miniature annelid
Martin-Duran, José M.; Vellutini, Bruno Cossermelli; Marletaz, Ferdinand; Cetrangolo, Viviana; Cvetesic, Nevena; Thiel, Daniel; Henriet, Simon; Grau-Bové, Xavier; Carrillo-Baltodano, Allan M.; Gu, Wenjia; Kerbl, Alexandra; Marquez, Yamile; Bekkouche, Nicolas; Chourrout, Daniel; Gómez-Skarmeta, José Luis; Irimia, Manuel; Lenhard, Boris; Worsaae, Katrine; Hejnol, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The causes and consequences of genome reduction in animals are unclear because our understanding of this process mostly relies on lineages with often exceptionally high rates of evolution. Here, we decode the compact ... -
Detailed reconstruction of the musculature in Limnognathia maerski (Micrognathozoa) and comparison with other Gnathifera
Bekkouche, Nicolas; Kristensen, Reinhardt M.; Hejnol, Andreas; Sørensen, Martin V.; Worsaae, Katrine (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-10-01)Introduction: Limnognathia maerski is the single species of the recently described taxon, Micrognathozoa. The most conspicuous character of this animal is the complex set of jaws, which resembles an even more intricate ... -
Molecular regionalization in the compact brain of the meiofaunal annelid Dinophilus gyrociliatus (Dinophilidae)
Kerbl, Alexandra; Martín-Durán, José M.; Worsaae, Katrine; Hejnol, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-08-30)Background: Annelida is a morphologically diverse animal group that exhibits a remarkable variety in nervous system architecture (e.g., number and location of longitudinal cords, architecture of the brain). Despite this ... -
Monsters in the dark: Systematics and biogeography of the stygobitic genus godzillius (crustacea: Remipedia) from the lucayan archipelago
Ballou, Lauren; Iliffe, Thomas M.; Kakuk, Brian; Gonzalez, Brett C.; Osborn, Karen J.; Worsaae, Katrine; Meland, Kenneth; Broad, Kenneth; Bracken-Grissom, Heather; Olesen, Jørgen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Remipedia is a stygobitic group commonly associated with coastal anchialine caves. This class consists of 12 genera, ten of which are found within the Lucayan Archipelago. Herein, we describe a new species within the genus ... -
Myogenesis of Siboglinum fiordicum sheds light on body regionalisation in beard worms (Siboglinidae, Annelida)
Rimskaya-Korsakova, Nadezhda; Karaseva, Nadezda; Pimenov, Timofei; Rapp, Hans Tore; Southward, Eve; Temereva, Elena; Worsaae, Katrine (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background Many annelids, including well-studied species such as Platynereis, show similar structured segments along their body axis (homonomous segmentation). However, numerous annelid species diverge from this pattern ... -
The Potent Respiratory System of Osedax mucofloris (Siboglinidae, Annelida) - A Prerequisite for the Origin of Bone-Eating Osedax?
Huusgaard, Randi S.; Vismann, Bent; Kühl, Michael; Macnaugton, Martin; Colmander, Veronica; Rouse, Greg W.; Glover, Adrian G.; Dahlgren, Thomas; Worsaae, Katrine (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-04-25)Members of the conspicuous bone-eating genus, Osedax, are widely distributed on whale falls in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. These gutless annelids contain endosymbiotic heterotrophic bacteria in a branching root system ...
