Homology of the feeding apparatus of pterobranch hemichordates and the lophophore of bryozoans, brachiopods, and phoronids has been postulated but never rigorously tested. I employ Patterson's (1, 2) three criteria of conjunction, similarity, and congruence to test this putative homology. Although the conjunction and similarity criteria are satisfied, congruence is not. The congruence test is based on a phylogeny derived from 18s rDNA sequence data which show that pterobranchs and lophophorates…

Determining the Composition of the Dwelling Tubes of Antarctic Pterobranchs
TLDR
The results indicate that that the tube material may be protein but the composition is unknown, and Identification of any new shared characteristics with either echinoderms or chordates would be valuable in determining clearer relationships among these taxa.
Molecular data indicate the protostome affinity of brachiopods.
TLDR
Recent data of molecular origin are reviewed and it is concluded that they argue strongly in favor of the protostome (and lophotrochozoan) affinity of the brachiopods.
Molecular data indicate the protostome affinity of brachiopods.
TLDR
Recent data of molecular origin are reviewed and it is concluded that they argue strongly in favor of the protostome (and lophotrochozoan) affinity of the brachiopods.
Ultrastructure of the stomochord and the heart–glomerulus complex in Rhabdopleura compacta (Pterobranchia): phylogenetic implications
TLDR
The data confirm that a glomerulus exists in representatives of the Rhabdopleurida, which previously was only known from the Cephalodiscida, the second highest ranking Pterobranchia taxon.
Molecular phylogeny of hemichordata, with updated status of deep-sea enteropneusts.
Evidence from Hox genes that bryozoans are lophotrochozoans
TLDR
The results of a Hox gene survey using degenerate polymerase chain reaction primers in a gymnolaemate bryozoan suggest that bryozoans are not a basal protostome group but closely allied to other lophotrochozoan taxa.

The Global Diversity of Hemichordata
TLDR
This review provides an overview of the current knowledge of hemichordates, focusing specifically on their global biodiversity, geographic distribution, and taxonomy.
Phylogenomic analyses of lophophorates (brachiopods, phoronids and bryozoans) confirm the Lophotrochozoa concept
TLDR
These analyses show that the three lophophorate lineages are affiliated with trochozoan rather than deuterostome phyla, and all hypotheses claiming that they are more closely related to Deuterstomia than to Protostomia can be rejected by topology testing.
Shaping the Things to Come: Ontogeny of Lophotrochozoan Neuromuscular Systems and the Tetraneuralia Concept
TLDR
Overall, formation of the lophotrochozoan neuromuscular bodyplan appears as a highly dynamic process on both the ontogenetic and the evolutionary timescales, highlighting the importance of insights into these processes for reconstructing ancestral bodyplan features and phylogenetic relationships.

TLDR
It is suggested that ciliated gill slits and the dorsal hollow nerve chord are pleisomorphic features of the Deuterostomia, the last common ancestor of the hemichordates and echinoderms.
Suspension Feeding by the Lophophore-like Apparatus of the Pterobranch Hemichordate Rhabdopleura normani.
TLDR
These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that the tentaculated arms of pterobranchs are homologous to the lophophores of brachiopods, phoronids, and bryozoans.
The phylogenetic affinities of the chaetognaths: a molecular analysis.
TLDR
This work proposes that the lineage leading to the chaetognaths arose prior to the advent of the coelomate metazoa, and isolation and nucleotide sequence determination of 18S ribosomal DNA from one species of Chaetognath and one acanthocephalan are described.

TLDR
Phylogenetic comparisons of the sequences of 18S rDNA suggest the monophyly of the deuterostomes, with the exception of the chaetognaths, and support the hypothesis that chordates evolved from free-living ancestors.
Annelida and Arthropoda are Not Sister Taxa: A Phylogenetic Analysis of Spiralian Metazoan Morphology
TLDR
This study presents a new analysis of 141 independently assembled characters, purported to represent the current state of knowledge of metazoan morphology and embryology, and results in robust support of the Eutrochozoa hypothesis.
Histological and ultrastructural observations of the lophophore and larvae of the brachiopod, Notosaria nigricans (Sowerby 1846)
The lophophore and the larva of the rhynchonellid brachiopod Notosaria nigricans are described in detail using techniques of light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron…
Feeding in pterobranch hemichordates and the evolution of gill slits
Pterobranch hemichordates reject heavy inedible material which impinges on the frontal surfaces of their tentacles and intercept light edible particles in the food grooves on the frontal surfaces of…
Deuterostome phylogeny and the sister group of the chordates: evidence from molecules and morphology.
TLDR
The results illustrate both the limitations of the 18S rRNA molecule alone for high-level phylogeny inference and the importance of considering both molecular and morphological data in phylogeny reconstruction.
Articulated Halkieriids from the Lower Cambrian of North Greenland and their Role in Early Protostome Evolution
TLDR
The hypothesis of halkieriids and their relatives having a key role in annelid-brachiopod-mollusc evolution is in accord with some earlier proposals and recent evidence from molecular biology, but casts doubt on a number of favoured concepts.
Structure and Function of Metazoan Ciliary Bands and Their Phylogenetic Significance
TLDR
The trochaea theory predicts that Porifera and Cnidaria have only monociliate cells and lack ciliary bands used in filter-feeding, and that the gastroneuralian larvae have downstream-collecting ciliated bands with prototroch and metatroch of compound cilia on multiciliate cells.
