Fixed, free, and fixed: the fickle phylogeny of extant Crinoidea (Echinodermata) and their Permian-Triassic origin.
- G. Rouse, L. Jermiin, +9 authors C. Messing
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular phylogenetics and evolution
- 2013
Although the status of Crinoidea (sea lilies and featherstars) as sister group to all other living echinoderms is well-established, relationships among crinoids, particularly extant forms, are… Expand

Problems related to the farming of Holothuria scabra (Jaeger 1833)
- Thierry Lavitra, R. Rasolofonirina, M. Jangoux, I. Eeckhaut
- Biology
- 2009
Different problems related to Holothuria scabra farming were observed at the sea cucumber aquaculture project Madagascar Holothurie S.A. (Toliara, Madagascar). In this paper, those problems are… Expand

Mitochondrial genome and nuclear sequence data support myzostomida as part of the annelid radiation.
- C. Bleidorn, I. Eeckhaut, +5 authors R. Tiedemann
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular biology and evolution
- 1 August 2007
The echinoderm symbionts Myzostomida are marine worms that show an enigmatic lophotrochozoan body plan. Historically, their phylogenetic origins were obscured due to disagreement about which… Expand
Myzostomida: a link between trochozoans and flatworms?
- I. Eeckhaut, D. McHugh, +4 authors M. Milinkovitch
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the Royal Society of London…
- 22 July 2000
Myzostomids are obligate symbiotic invertebrates associated with echinoderms with a fossil record that extends to the Ordovician period. Due to their long history as host–specific symbionts,… Expand
On the phylogenetic position of Myzostomida: can 77 genes get it wrong?
- C. Bleidorn, L. Podsiadlowski, +4 authors R. Tiedemann
- Medicine, Biology
- BMC Evolutionary Biology
- 1 July 2009
BackgroundPhylogenomic analyses recently became popular to address questions about deep metazoan phylogeny. Ribosomal proteins (RP) dominate many of these analyses or are, in some cases, the only… Expand
Review of saponin diversity in sea cucumbers belonging to the family Holothuriidae
- Guillaume Caulier, Séverine Van Dyck, P. Gerbaux, I. Eeckhaut, P. Flammang
- Biology
- 2011
Saponins are secondary metabolites produced by holothurians. Structurally, they are triterpene glycosides that play an important role in chemical defense and possess a wide spectrum of… Expand

When a repellent becomes an attractant: harmful saponins are kairomones attracting the symbiotic Harlequin crab
- Guillaume Caulier, P. Flammang, P. Gerbaux, I. Eeckhaut
- Biology, Medicine
- Scientific reports
- 12 September 2013
Marine organisms have developed a high diversity of chemical defences in order to avoid predators and parasites. In sea cucumbers, saponins function as repellents and many species produce these… Expand
Parasites and biotic diseases in field and cultivated sea cucumbers
- I. Eeckhaut, É. Parmentier, P. Becker, S. D. Silva, M. Jangoux
- Environmental Science
- 2004
Amongst echinoderms, the Holothuroidea represents the class that is the most infested by parasites. Parasites of holothuroids are Bacteria, Protozoa and Metazoa. There are about 150 species of… Expand

Life cycle and mode of infestation of Myzostoma cirriferum (Annelida): a symbiotic myzostomid of the comatulid crinoid Antedon bifida (Echinodermata)
- I. Eeckhaut, M. Jangoux
- Biology
- 1993
Eight different stages succeed one another in the life cycle of the myzostomid Myzostoma cirriferum, viz, the embryonic stage, 4 larval stages, and 3 postmetamorphic stages. Fertilization is… Expand
