Diversification of metazoan Kexin-like proprotein convertases: insights from the leech Helobdella

W.-Y. Tao, Y.-C. Cheng, M. H. Song, D. A. Weisblat, D.-H. Kuo

The paper identifies six Kexin-like proprotein convertases in the last common ancestor of protostomes and deuterostomes and characterizes their functional divergence in the leech Helobdella.

Sexual conflict in self-fertile hermaphrodites: reproductive differences among species, and between individuals versus cohorts, in the leech genus Helobdella (Lophotrochozoa; Annelida; Clitellata; Hirudinida; Glossiphoniidae)

R. G. Iyer, D. V. Rogers, C. J. Winchell, D. A. Weisblat

The paper examines reproductive strategies in three Helobdella leech species, finding that self-fertility is ancestral in two species but absent in the third, with cohort reproduction showing coordinated behavior and resource allocation differences.
