EVOLUTION PROTOSTOME-DEUTEROSTOME LINK

EVOLUTION – ANNELID THEORY BIBLIOGRAPHY a supplement to earlier post today.  

I will not feel bad if you don’t read this, even if you are a biologist.  If you have a specific interest in annelid theory of chordate origin, the references may be helpful.

The references below are some that I found useful in understanding the evolution of the animal phyla, especially as pertains to the annelid theory.  They tend to focus on molecular aspects if I thought they shed light on the problem.  The bibliography is a partial one and could have been greatly expanded if for example, I included all those that did not make a link to both protostomes and deuterostomes [Akam, Michael, 1998, Biol. Bull., 195:373-374 deals with shifts in Hox gene expression in segments during evolution of arthropods] or my database was defective [a 1978 invertebrate collagens article in Science, 202:591-598 has an obvious defect in the author’s name(s)].  Since disappointment with the defects [noted in my 5/31/13 post] of some phylogenetic studies over a decade ago, I have not been very attentive to subsequent reports.
