HIGHLIGHTS
- who: Tim Wollesen from the EMBL, Meyerhofstraße, Heidelberg, Germany have published the research: Remnants of ancestral larval eyes in an eyeless mollusk? Molecular characterization of photoreceptors in the scaphopod Antalis entalis, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
- what: The authors show that the scaphopod A. entalis and the polyplacophoran L asellus express opsins in similar body regions and propose an evolutionary scenario of molluscan eye and photoreceptor evolution. The authors propose homology of the apical photoreceptor cells of scaphopods, polyplacophorans, and annelids (Fig 6a- c; ). Due to a similar location in the trochophore larva and a . . .
