MSU biologists discovered the pathways of groups of the lophophore

(Lomonosov Moscow State University) Scientists from Moscow State University have proved that lophophorates -- the invertebrates with special tentacular apparatus -- are relatives. Scientists have examined some representatives of one of the phylum of this group. The results were published in BMC Evolutionary Biology. The study was carried out within the framework of the 'Animals' branch of the Noah's Ark project supported by a grant from the Russian Science Foundation (RNF).
