Studies of parasites as tags for marine invertebrates have concentrated on squid.
Its crucial position in the evolutionary history from invertebrates to vertebrates makes the lancelet an important model for studying the evolution of glycosylation.
Studies on plants, invertebrates, lower vertebrates, mammals and humans at the molecular and cellular levels will be accepted, leading to a unique multidisciplinary publication.
Their diet includes fruits, seeds, fungi, invertebrates and small vertebrates and their eggs.
It is common in many species of invertebrates, but rare in higher plants and has not been reported in vertebrates.
This is especially likely for species that diverged hundreds of millions of years ago, such as vertebrates and invertebrates.
Pannexins, a second family of gap junction proteins in vertebrates, have sequence homology with the invertebrate innexins.
The increased susceptibility of larval parasites and their invertebrate hosts compared to vertebrates may make them more sensitive bioindicators of pollution.
