The fact that these animals have many homologous genes and the ways these genes interact in their development is consistent with the concept of ‘deep homology’ and the hypotheses of a complex common ancestor of Bilateria, which had eyes and limbs. Nematode genomes contain most of the genes, which control eye and limb development in other animals. We show this is also true for Nematomorpha, though the sets of preserved genes are different in these taxa: ortholog of dpp/BMP was found in Nematomorpha, though Nematoda have just a paralogs of this gene. Both Nematoda and Nematomorpha lack orthologs of genes <i>Ss</i>, <i>fng</i>/<i>Rfng</i>, <i>Cll</i>, which regulate limbs development in other animals.</p>","PeriodicalId":19816,"journal":{"name":"Paleontological Journal","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140882556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The far-reaching similarity of the most primitive insects, jumping bristletails, with malacostracans, especially syncarids, leaves no doubt about the origin of the former directly from the latter. The similarity of mayfly nymphs to bristletails indicates that the evolution of Pterygota began with amphibiotic Palaeoptera. Myriapods are secondarily simplified descendants of early hexapods, having lost the division of the body into the thorax and abdomen and other ancestral characters due to transition to a cryptic lifestyle. Entognathous hexapods illustrate the initial stages of myriapodization of bristletails. Following Sharov, insect ancestry can be traced back into deep time via crustaceans to trilobitomorphs, Megacheira, and further to the most ancient arthropods, dinocarids—with grasping antennae but without walking legs! Many structural features of arthropods were formed in Polychaeta—the most primitive Articulata. The group most similar to arthropods are scale worms (Aphroditacea). By analogy with myriapods and entognaths, lobopods and non-arthropodan Ecdysozoa should be interpreted as side branches, which emerged from the dinocarid root of Arthropoda and simplified their body plans. Transformations of body plans occurred through heterochronies and heterotopies (including gamoheterotopies).</p>","PeriodicalId":19816,"journal":{"name":"Paleontological Journal","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140882551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Few zygoparous species from the class Gymnolaemata possess long-lived planktotrophic larva (cyphonautes and paracyphonautes). The rest of gymnolaemates, and all species from classes Stenolaemata and Phylactolamata, incubate their embryos, whose development relies on egg’s yolk, extraembryonic nutrition (matrotrophy) or both, and have a brief free-swimming larval stage. Comparative morpho-functional analysis indicates that in bryozoans, similar to many other marine invertebrates, transitions from planktotrophic to endotrophic larvae were multiple and, obviously, were based on changes in oogenesis. Besides, the acquisition of a new larval type has always occurred in association with the evolution of embryonic incubation in Bryozoa. In myolaemates, the main trends in the evolution of endotrophy were reduction of the larval gut, loss of the larval protective cuticle/shell, invagination of the pallial epithelium of the episphere, and increase of the corona. Furthermore, larvae of stenolaemates lost their aboral and pyriform organs. Although being planktotrophic, the cyphonautes is a highly modified larval form, and cannot be considered as an ancestral type of bryozoan larvae. Phylactolaemates have a highly derived heterochronous development with a free-swimming stage that is, in fact, a chimera—either an ancestrula or a juvenile colony having a larval ciliary covering.</p>","PeriodicalId":19816,"journal":{"name":"Paleontological Journal","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139773542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
