The Nemertodermatida are basal bilaterians and not members of the Platyhelminthes (2002, background): “While there is no generally accepted position for the Gastrotricha, Gnathostomulida, Rotifera and Acanthocephala, morphological synapomorphies uniting the latter three taxa are known (Rieger & Tyler 1995; Sorensen et al. 2000).”
Higher-level metazoan relationships: recent progress and remaining questions (2011, background): “Hence, within a relatively short period, the computer and phylogenetic software became standard tools for systematists and prompted the publication of numerous morphologybased hypotheses on animal evolution (e.g. Backeljau et al. 1993; Eernisse et al. 1992; Glenner et al. 2004; Nielsen et al. 1995; ”
The New View of Animal Phylogeny (2004, methodology): “Although molecular data are still wanting, the curious Micrognathozoa is likely to be in the Gnathifera (Kristensen & Funch 2000, Sørensen et al. 2000).”
Morphology should not be forgotten in the era of genomics—a phylogenetic perspective (2015, unknown): “… 39 (e.g., Brusca and Brusca, 2003; Eernisse et al., 1992; Jenner, 2004; Jenner and Scholtz, 2005; 40 Meglitsch and Schram, 1991; Nielsen et al., 1996; Schram, 1991; Sørensen et al., 2000; 41 Zrzavý et al., 1998), some becoming the basis for subsequent…”
