The KinoRoot project investigates the evolutionary history of ecdysozoans, focusing on kinorhynchs. By combining morphological studies with modern molecular techniques, it aims to determine whether segmentation is a shared trait among these organisms, enhancing our understanding of early animal evolution.
The Ecdysozoa includes animals with a hard cuticle.
Besides the specious Arthropoda and Nematoda, it also nests minor groups like the Kinorhyncha and Priapulida.
The Ecdysozoa accommodates more species than all other organism groups in total.
Segmentation occurs in two ecdysozoan clades, Kinorhyncha and Arthropoda, and the project addresses the question whether ecdysozoans evolved from a segmented ancestor or if segmentation evolved twice within Ecdysozoa.
Understanding ecdysozoan evolution, is…
