This project investigates the evolutionary origins and unique body plans of the Xenacoelomorpha, a newly identified phylum of simple worms. By analyzing their morphology, genetics, and developmental processes, the research aims to enhance understanding of deuterostome evolution and the relationship between genetic and…
Understanding the origins and evolution of the highly diverse body plans of the ~30 distinct phlya that make up the animal Kingdom is a major programme in biology.
Recent research in my lab has demonstrated the existence of a new phylum of animals with a unique bodyplan - the Xenacoelomorpha - whose evolutionary origins are particularly surprising and highly contentious.Our work has elevated these very simple worms from a lowly position at the base of the animal tree to a place right within a g…
