Ancestral role of Pax2/5/8 in molluscan brain and multimodal sensory system development
Wollesen, Tim; Rodríguez Monje, Sonia V; Todt, Christiane; Degnan, Bernard M; Wanninger, Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-10-28)Background Mollusks represent the largest lophotrochozoan phylum and exhibit highly diverse body plans. Previous studies have demonstrated that transcription factors such as Pax genes play important roles during their ... -
Aplacophoran mollusks evolved from ancestors with polyplacophoran-like features
Scherholz, Maik; Redl, Emanuel; Wollesen, Tim; Todt, Christiane; Wanninger, Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-11-04)Mollusca is an animal phylum with vast morphological diversity and includes worm-shaped aplacophorans, snails, bivalves, and the complex cephalopods [1]. The interrelationships of these class-level taxa are still contentious ... -
Development of the nervous system in Solenogastres (Mollusca) reveals putative ancestral spiralian features
Redl, Emanuel; Scherholz, Maik; Todt, Christiane; Wollesen, Tim; Wanninger, Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-12-24)Background: The Solenogastres (or Neomeniomorpha) are a taxon of aplacophoran molluscs with contentious phylogenetic placement. Since available developmental data on non-conchiferan (that is, aculiferan) molluscs mainly ... -
From complex to simple: myogenesis in an aplacophoran mollusk reveals key traits in aculiferan evolution
Scherholz, Maik; Redl, Emanuel; Wollesen, Tim; Todt, Christiane; Wanninger, Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-09-18)Background Recent studies suggest a bifurcation at the base of Mollusca, resulting in the primarily single-shelled Conchifera (Bivalvia, Gastropoda, Scaphopoda, Monoplacophora, Cephalopoda) and the spicule-bearing Aculifera ...
