The phylogenetic affinities of Chaetognathifera, with considerations of systematic error and the robusticity of macrosyntenic results

James F. Fleming, Nickellaus G. Roberts, Holger Herlyn…·Torsten H. Struck

This study investigates the phylogenetic relationships within Chaetognathifera using genomic data and evaluates the robustness of macrosyntenic results, finding that macrosynteny cannot reliably resolve these relationships.

Substantial hierarchical reductions of genetic and morphological traits in the evolution of rotiferan parasites

Holger Herlyn, Anju Angelina Hembrom, Juan Pablo Tosar…·Bastian Fromm

The paper investigates the correlation between loss of microRNAs, protein-coding genes, and morphological complexity in syndermatan invertebrates, finding a strong association in regressive evolution.
