      Bilaterians usually possess a central nervous system, composed of neurons and supportive cells called glial cells. Whereas neuronal cells are highly comparable in all these animals, glial cells apparently differ, and in ...
    • Genomic Adaptations to an Endoparasitic Lifestyle in the Morphologically Atypical Crustacean Sacculina carcini (Cirripedia: Rhizocephala) 

      Martin, Sebastian; Lesny, Peter; Glenner, Henrik; Hecht, Jochen; Vilcinskas, Andreas; Bartolomaeus, Thomas; Podsiadlowski, Lars (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
