WHAT CELL LINEAGES TELL US ABOUT THE EVOLUTION OF SPIRALIA REMAINS TO BE SEEN

Cell-lineage trees may contain information about spiralian phylogeny, as proposed by Guralnick and Lindberg (2001). Here we discuss this possibility further and conclude that the cell-division pattern must be known in greater detail and the coding methods refined before a possible phylogenetic signa...

Description
Summary:Cell-lineage trees may contain information about spiralian phylogeny, as proposed by Guralnick and Lindberg (2001). Here we discuss this possibility further and conclude that the cell-division pattern must be known in greater detail and the coding methods refined before a possible phylogenetic signal can be identified.
