Orders out of chaos–molecular phylogenetics reveals the complexity of shark and stingray tapeworm relationships
Novel molecular data are presented to resolve the long-standing issue of the non-
monophyly of the elasmobranch-hosted tapeworm order Tetraphyllidea relative to the other …

Assessing the suitability of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA genetic markers for molecular systematics and species identification of helminths
Background Genetic markers are employed widely in molecular studies, and their utility
depends on the degree of sequence variation, which dictates the type of application for …

A molecular phylogeny of bryozoans
We present the most comprehensive molecular phylogeny of bryozoans to date. Our
concatenated alignment of two nuclear ribosomal and five mitochondrial genes includes 95 …

Adding resolution to ordinal level relationships of tapeworms (Platyhelminthes: Cestoda) with large fragments of mtDNA
The construction of a stable phylogeny for the Cestoda, indicating the interrelationships of
recognised orders and other major lineages, has proceeded iteratively since the group first …

Characterization of a diversity of tetraphyllidean and rhinebothriidean cestode larval types, with comments on host associations and life-cycles
Life-cycles of marine tapeworms of the orders Tetraphyllidea and Rhinebothriidea are poorly
known primarily because their larvae typically lack species level, taxonomically …

Evolution of the trypanorhynch tapeworms: parasite phylogeny supports independent lineages of sharks and rays
Trypanorhynch tapeworms (Platyhelminthes: Cestoda) are among the most diverse and
abundant groups of metazoan parasites of elasmobranches and are a ubiquitous part of the …

Concatenated SSU and LSU rDNA data confirm the main evolutionary trends within myxosporeans (Myxozoa: Myxosporea) and provide an effective tool for their …
P Bartošová, I Fiala, V Hypša - Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2009 - Elsevier
Views on myxosporean phylogeny and systematics have recently undergone substantial
changes resulting from analyses of SSU rDNA. Here, we further investigate the evolutionary …
