Global diversity of the Placozoa.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2013

Eitel Michael, Osigus Hans-Jürgen, DeSalle Rob, Schierwater Bernd

Abstract excerpt

The enigmatic animal phylum Placozoa holds a key position in the metazoan Tree of Life. A simple bauplan makes it appear to be the most basal metazoan known and genetic evidence also points to a position close to the last common metazoan ancestor. Trichoplax adhaerens is the only formally described species in the phylum to date, making the Placozoa the only monotypic phylum in the animal kingdom. However, recent...
