• Higher-level metazoan relationships: recent progress and remaining questions (2011, background): “…flatworms form a clade, Acoelomorpha, that is sister group to all other bilaterian animals, the latter being united under the taxonomic name Nephrozoa in recognition of the shared presence of an excretory system (Jondelius et al. 2002; Ruiz-Trillo et al. 1999, 2002; Sempere et al. 2007).”
• Tempo and mode of early animal evolution: inferences from rocks, Hox, and molecular clocks (2005, background): “Second, the acoel flatworm Childia falls at the base of the triploblasts with high precision, again consistent with virtually all recent phylogenetic inquiries (Ruiz-Trillo et al. 1999, 2002; Jondelius et al. 2002; Pasquinelli et al. 2003; Telford et al. 2003).”
• Mating behaviour of the marine turbellarian Macrostomum sp.: these worms suck (2004, background): “They represent a taxonomically ill-defined group among the Platyhelminthes, which are currently undergoing major revision (Jondelius 1998; Littlewood et al. 1998; Jondelius et al. 2002; Telford et al. 2003).”
• Animal Phylogeny and Its Evolutionary Implications (2014, background): “…Paired segmental ventrolateral appendages with segmented leg nerves and muscles, engrailed expression in posterior ectoderm of each segment Nephrozoa Discrete excretory organs such as nephridia ( Jondelius et al. 2002) First, only a small fraction of the potential data has yet been examined.”
• A new model organism among the lower Bilateria and the use of digital microscopy in taxonomy of meiobenthic Platyhelminthes: Macrostomum lignano ,n . sp. (Rhabditophora, Macrostomorpha) (2005, background): “basal within the Rhabditophora (Jondelius et al. 2002).”
• Assessing the root of bilaterian animals with scalable phylogenomic methods (2009, background): “Acoela has been recovered as the sister group to all other bilaterian animals in direct sequencing analyses, though their placement with respect to Nemertodermatida has been inconsistent (Ruiz-Trillo et al. 1999, 2002; Jondelius et al. 2002; Wallberg et al. 2007; Paps et al. 2009).”
