Molecular fossils have been used to augment the physical fossil record, charting expansion of complex life through Neoproterozoic Era (~1000-541 Ma).This work relies on hypothesis that C 27 steranes preserved in sedimentary rocks originated from cholesterol, predominant sterol produced by red algae and animals.Following same logic, 28 29 carbon are widely considered be derived sterols fungi, green some protists.In this study, we demonstrate gene 24-C methyltransferase (smt), which is necessary produce sterols, exists segmented worms, an advanced group animals.Phylogenetic analysis relevant suggests it was present first animals lost independently at least seven major lineages.A molecular clock demonstrates SMT specific their closest ancestors Neoproterozoic.Based these results, cannot indicative animals, 28+ not solely fungi or algae.While our results do necessarily contradict emerging picture informed fossils, they refute underlying drives interpretive paradigm.

A lack available molecular data for most these species has precluded assessment their phylogenetic relationships left uncertain the placement Antonbruunia, which hypothesized to be either member or its sister clade, monotypic Antonbruunidae. In this study, we describe new Antonbruunia milenae sp. nov., found at 845 m depth off coast San Diego, California, USA, address phylogeny organisms using 15 novel mitogenomes multiple Sanger-sequenced loci. Our results show that falls within Pilargidae, making Antonbruunidae junior synonym Pilargidae.

Here we present the first phylogeny lumbrinerids based on combination nuclear (18S rDNA) mitochondrial (COI, 16S markers utilizing Bayesian inference Maximum Likelihood approaches. Despite limited taxon sampling, our results support monophyly genera Abyssoninoe, Augeneria, Gallardoneris, Lumbrineriopsis, Ninoe indicate polyphyly Lumbrineris (the type genus family) Scoletoma.

Annelid chaetae are extracellular chitinous structures that formed in an epidermal invagination, the chaetal follicle. The basalmost cell of this follicle, chaetoblast, serves like a 3D-printer as it dynamically shapes chaeta. During chaetogenesis apical microvilli chaetoblast form template for chaeta, any structural details result from modulating pattern. This study describes process detail model organism Platynereis dumerilii and clarifies some aspects its close relative Nereis vexillosa, first annelid which ultrastructure had been described. Nereid species possess compound characteristic numerous subgroups errant annelids. distal most section these is movable; hinge connects part chaeta to shaft. Modulation differences their structure, diameter number microvilli, withdrawal reappearance determine shape chaetae. Chaetal structure pattern also change during life history.
