Phoronids can be a major component of benthic and planktonic marine communities. Currently, the phoronid world fauna includes ten recognised species, known from adults; however, at least 32 larval forms have been described or documented. This study examined the morphology and 18S rRNA and 28S rRNA genes of two phoronid larvae abundant in Vostok Bay, Sea of Japan. One type was identified as the larval stage of Phoronopsis harmeri, although some distinctive features of this larva differ from the typical description. The morphological and molecular characteristics of the other larva did not match those of described species. According to our morphological results, this second actinotroch larva belongs to the genus Phoronis, but differs morphologically and molecularly from all the known species in the genus, all of which are represented in GenBank for the markers employed here. Taken together, our data suggest that the second actinotroch larva belongs to an undescribed phoronid species. The adult form of this actinotroch has never been identified, but our data suggest a close relationship with Phoronis pallida. The existence of a putative new phoronid species is also confirmed by presence of competent phoronid larvae, which are found in different aquatic areas, have a unique set of morphological features, and whose belonging is still not established.

Ultrastructure of ganglia in the brachiopodCoptothyris grayiand its phylogenetic significance

Tatyana Kuzmina, Elena Temereva

Summary: The study describes the ultrastructure of the supraenteric and subenteric ganglia in the brachiopod Coptothyris grayi, revealing the organization of neurons and layers in each. The ganglia exhibit features that are considered primitive in the bilaterian ancestor, indicating they cannot be classified as true ganglia.

New data on echiuran anatomy and histology: the case of Lissomyema mellita (Annelida: Thalassematidae)

Petr Kuznetsov, Anastassya Maiorova, Elena Temereva

Summary: Echiura, a small group of unsegmented marine worms, play an important role in benthic ecosystems worldwide. The study of Lissomyema mellita's anatomy reveals unique features such as glands in the anal lobe and ciliated grooves on the proboscis. The circulatory system of L. mellita shows complexity with novel vascular elements.

Myogenesis of Siboglinum fiordicum sheds light on body regionalisation in beard worms (Siboglinidae, Annelida)

Summary: The study on the Siboglinum fiordicum reveals a different pattern of muscle and septum formation compared to other annelids, with the body being divided into two regions before segments are laid down. This unique formation process may represent an adaptation of these annelids to their sedentary-tubicolous lifestyle.

The nervous system of the most complex lophophore provides new insights into the evolution of Brachiopoda

Elena N. Temereva, Tatyana V. Kuzmina

Summary: Recent research has shown similarities in the organization of the nervous and muscular systems of the lophophore in phoronids, brachiopods, and bryozoans, leading to debate over the evolution of the lophophore in some lophophorates. A study of the brachiopod Coptothyris grayi revealed that its innervation lacks the accessory brachial nerve and exhibits several evolutionary trends in its complex morphology. In brachiopods, the evolution of the lophophore nervous system involved the appearance and strengthening of the second accessory brachial nerve, as well as the reduction of some brachial nerves, reflecting changes in the complexity of the lophophore musculature.

Unusual lophophore innervation in ctenostome Flustrellidra hispida (Bryozoa)

Elena N. Temereva, Maria A. Isaeva, Igor A. Kosevich

Summary: This study investigates the morphology and innervation of the Lophophore of the ctenostome Flustrellidra hispida. The results suggest that the organization of the lophophore nervous system in F. hispida may reflect the ancestral state for all bryozoans. This finding sheds light on the evolutionary transformation of the lophophore nervous system in bryozoans.

Analysis of the juvenile shell of Lingula anatina (Brachiopoda: Linguliformea) provides insight into the evolution of life cycles of fossil brachiopods

Anna A. Madison, Tatyana Kuzmina, Elena N. Temereva

Summary: The study describes the shells of juveniles of Lingula anatina from Vietnam and the Republic of the Philippines, revealing previously unknown features and proposing hypotheses on the evolution of brachiopod life cycles. The life cycle of extant lingulides, with planktotrophic juveniles hatching from egg envelopes, is suggested to be the most evolutionarily advanced and appeared in the early Silurian.
