Proc Biol Sci
. 2025 Mar;
292(2042):20242069.
PMID: 40068820
Visual systems provide a key interface between organisms and their surroundings, and have evolved in many forms to perform diverse functions across the animal kingdom. Spiders exhibit a range of...

PMID: 39109482
The evolutionary origins of Bilateria remain enigmatic. One of the more enduring proposals highlights similarities between a cnidarian-like planula larva and simple acoel-like flatworms. This idea is based in part...

Evodevo
. 2024 May;
15(1):5.
PMID: 38730509
Spiders are a diverse order of chelicerates that diverged from other arthropods over 500 million years ago. Research on spider embryogenesis, particularly studies using the common house spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum,...

Mol Biol Evol
. 2023 Nov;
40(12).
PMID: 37935059
Gene duplication generates new genetic material that can contribute to the evolution of gene regulatory networks and phenotypes. Duplicated genes can undergo subfunctionalization to partition ancestral functions and/or neofunctionalization to...

Piovani L, Leite D, Alfonso Yanez Guerra L, Simpson F, Musser J, Salvador-Martinez I, et al.
Sci Adv
. 2023 Aug;
9(31):eadg6034.
PMID: 37531419
Pelagic larval stages are widespread across animals, yet it is unclear whether larvae were present in the last common ancestor of animals or whether they evolved multiple times due to...

FGF signalling is involved in cumulus migration in the common house spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum
Wang R, Leite D, Karadas L, Schiffer P, Pechmann M
Dev Biol
. 2022 Dec;
494:35-45.
PMID: 36470448
Cell migration is a fundamental component during the development of most multicellular organisms. In the early spider embryo, the collective migration of signalling cells, known as the cumulus, is required...

Leite D, Piovani L, Telford M
Genome Biol Evol
. 2022 Aug;
14(9).
PMID: 36040059
Polyclad flatworms are widely thought to be one of the least derived of the flatworm classes and, as such, are well placed to investigate evolutionary and developmental features such as...

Sci Adv
. 2021 Mar;

PMID: 33741592
The bilaterally symmetric animals (Bilateria) are considered to comprise two monophyletic groups, Protostomia (Ecdysozoa and the Lophotrochozoa) and Deuterostomia (Chordata and the Xenambulacraria). Recent molecular phylogenetic studies have not consistently...

PMID: 30587109
Background: The Sox family of transcription factors is an important part of the genetic 'toolbox' of all metazoans examined to date and is known to play important developmental roles in...

PMID: 30126532
Sox genes encode a set of highly conserved transcription factors that regulate many developmental processes. In insects, the SoxB gene is the only Sox gene known to be involved in...
