Brachyura represents the focus of species diversity within Decapoda. However, this diversity increases the difficulty of species identification and obscures the natural phylogenetic relationships. Mitogenomes, with their rich phylogenetic signal and evolutionary informatics, provide critical insights into brachyuran systematics. Here, we present 12 newly sequenced mitogenomes spanning 10 families, which exhibit diverse lengths, ranging from 15,320 to 16,135 bp. All circular genomes except Conchoecetes artificiosus (lacking tRNA-S2) encode the typical 37 mitochondrial genes. Meanwhile, we identified unique gene order of Pleistacantha cervicornis and provided preliminary speculation on its hypothetical evolutionary history, which involved four gene inversion and translocation events. Phylogenomic reconstruction revealed: (1) Goneplacidae was closely related to Xanthoidea; meanwhile, Tetraliidae and Trapeziidae show divergence, resulting in the polyphyly of Goneplacoidea and Trapezioidea; (2) freshwater crabs were intimately related to thoracotrematan, and we recommended Potamoidea and Gecarcinucoidea should be classified under Thoracotremata; (3) Extensive mitochondrial gene order (MGO) diversity across Brachyura, with lineage-specific rearrangement patterns serving as phylogenetic markers. Our research offers new insights into the phylogenetic relationships within Brachyura from mitogenome perspective, unraveling the diversity and rearrangement trajectories of MGO in Brachyura.

短足目代表了十足目物种多样性的焦点。然而,这种多样性增加了物种鉴定的难度,并模糊了自然系统发育关系。有丝分裂基因组具有丰富的系统发育信号和进化信息学,为短肢动物的系统学研究提供了重要的见解。在这里,我们提出了12个新测序的有丝分裂基因组,跨越10个家族,表现出不同的长度,从15,320到16,135 bp不等。除了人工贝壳虫(Conchoecetes artificiosus)(缺乏tRNA-S2)外,所有圆形基因组都编码37个典型的线粒体基因。同时,我们确定了颈角Pleistacantha颈角Pleistacantha cervicornis的独特基因序列,并对其假设的进化史进行了初步推测,该进化史涉及4次基因倒置和易位事件。系统基因组重建结果表明:(1)黄杉科与黄杉科亲缘关系密切;与此同时,四足科和梯形科出现分化,形成了蓼科和梯形科的多科分布;(2)淡水蟹类与胸喉目有亲缘关系,建议将Potamoidea和Gecarcinucoidea归入胸喉目;(3)短尾目动物线粒体基因序列(MGO)具有广泛的多样性,谱系特异性重排模式可作为系统发育标记。我们的研究从有丝分裂基因组的角度为短掌目动物的系统发育关系提供了新的见解,揭示了短掌目动物MGO的多样性和重排轨迹。

Bufo eichwaldi (Amphibia: Anura) is a toad species endemic to the Hyrcanian forests of northern Iran and southeastern Azerbaijan, increasingly threatened by anthropogenic pressures, underscoring the urgent need for conservation measures. We assessed the genetic diversity, population structure, and potential distribution of B. eichwaldi using molecular analyses and Species Distribution Modeling in order to inform management plans for the species. We analyzed two mitochondrial gene fragments (16S rRNA and D-loop) and one nuclear gene (Recombination activating gene 1), totaling 1865 bp, in 23 individuals from four populations. Our genetic analyses revealed high haplotype diversity (0.984) and significant genetic differentiation (FST) among populations, with the Azerbaijan population showing a genetic distance of 1.85%–2.04% from Iranian populations in the D-loop gene fragment. Genetic results support the hypothesis that B. eichwaldi recently expanded into the Hyrcanian forests after the last glacial maximum (LGM). Species distribution models calibrated using maximum entropy (MaxEnt) under average current climatic conditions (1970–2000) were projected to the Mid-Holocene (6 Kya) and LGM (21 Kya), as well as on 256 time slices of 10 ky BP to assess historic habitat stability. Our models showed good predictive accuracy, with the most influential environmental variable being precipitation of the wettest month (50.1%), followed by temperature annual range (39.7%). Suitable habitats for B. eichwaldi have become increasingly available in the Hyrcanian region after the LGM, in agreement with genetic evidence of a recent range expansion into these forests. This study highlights the value of integrating genetic and ecological data to inform conservation strategies for B. eichwaldi.

Bufo eichwaldi(两栖类:无尾目)是伊朗北部和阿塞拜疆东南部海卡尼亚森林特有的蟾蜍物种,受到人为压力的威胁日益严重,迫切需要采取保护措施。利用分子分析和物种分布模型分析方法,对该物种的遗传多样性、种群结构和潜在分布进行了评估,以期为该物种的管理规划提供依据。我们分析了来自4个种群的23个个体的两个线粒体基因片段(16S rRNA和D-loop)和一个核基因片段(重组激活基因1),总长度为1865 bp。遗传分析显示,阿塞拜疆人群与伊朗人群在D-loop基因片段上的遗传距离为1.85% ~ 2.04%,单倍型多样性(0.984)高,群体间遗传分化(FST)显著。遗传结果支持了B. eichwaldi最近在末次盛冰期(LGM)后扩展到hycanian森林的假设。利用最大熵(MaxEnt)校正了1970-2000年平均气候条件下的物种分布模型,并将其预估到中全新世(6 Kya)和LGM (21 Kya),以及256个10 ky BP的时间片,以评估历史栖息地的稳定性。模型具有较好的预测精度,影响最大的环境变量是最湿月份的降水量(50.1%),其次是气温年变化范围(39.7%)。在LGM之后,在hycanian地区有越来越多的适宜的栖息地,这与最近范围扩展到这些森林的遗传证据一致。本研究强调了将遗传和生态数据整合在一起的价值,为华鲟的保护策略提供信息。

Springtails (Hexapoda: Collembola) are unique among Alpine arthropods for including cryophilic species, able to live in contact with glacial ice, the so-called ‘glacier fleas’. Despite being historically recorded, their taxonomy and distribution are largely unknown. In this article, we present the first comprehensive study of ice-dwelling springtails (family Isotomidae) of the European Alps and Apennines. Morphological and molecular analyses of two mitochondrial genes (cox1 and 16S) were performed after an extensive field sampling across 48 European sites. Five new species were identified and described on the Alps: Desoria orobica sp. nov., Vertagopus glacialis sp. nov., V. psychrophilus sp. nov., V. glacieinigrae sp. nov. and V. fradustaensis sp. nov., together with the already known D. saltans and V. alpinus. The evidence for two further new species was also reported, with the first occurrence of Gnathisotoma bicolor for the Alpine chain. Desoria calderonis occurs on the only glacier of the Apennines. Among the new species, V. glacialis and V. psychrophilus exhibit a wide range distribution, while the other species show a narrow endemic distribution. The study highlighted the unexplored diversity of Alpine ‘glacier fleas’ and their ecological and biogeographic interest, together with the conservation concern in the context of the present warming cycle.

弹尾虫(六足目:弹尾虫)在高山节肢动物中是独一无二的,包括嗜冷物种,能够生活在与冰川冰接触的地方,被称为“冰川跳蚤”。尽管有历史记载,但它们的分类和分布在很大程度上是未知的。本文首次对欧洲阿尔卑斯山脉和亚平宁山脉的冰栖弹尾进行了综合研究。在欧洲48个地点进行了广泛的现场采样后,对两个线粒体基因(cox1和16S)进行了形态学和分子分析。在阿尔卑斯地区鉴定并描述了5个新种:Desoria orobica sp. nov、Vertagopus glacialis sp. nov、V. psychrophilus sp. nov、V. glacieinigrae sp. nov和V. fradustaensis sp. nov,以及已知的d.s altans和V. alpinus。另外两个新种的证据也被报道,第一个出现的Gnathisotoma bicolor在阿尔卑斯链。Desoria calderonis发生在亚平宁山脉唯一的冰川上。新种中,V. glacialis和V. psychrophilus的分布范围较广,其他新种的分布范围较窄。该研究强调了高山“冰川蚤”尚未开发的多样性及其生态和生物地理意义,以及在当前变暖周期背景下对其保护的关注。

Mushroom soft corals in the subfamily Anthomastinae are among the most remarkable octocorals found in the deep sea, characterized by their capitate or mushroom-shaped red colonies and large autozooids. To date, their species diversity remains largely unknown due to limited research, and their phylogenetic relationships have yet to be explored. Based on samples collected from four seamounts in the tropical Northwestern Pacific, we establish a new genus and six new species within Anthomastinae: Neoanthomastus stellatus gen. et sp. nov., Neoanthomastus elongatus gen. et sp. nov., Anthomastus sphaericus sp. nov., Anthomastus tongi sp. nov., Pseudoanthomastus ornatus sp. nov., and Pseudoanthomastus applanatus sp. nov. We transfer four species of Anthomastus with the siphonozooids extending into the stalk to the new genus Neoanthomastus, and four additional species of Anthomastus to Pseudoanthomastus. A dichotomous key to all five known genera and 43 species of Anthomastinae is provided. Meanwhile, we utilize the concatenated nucleotides of 13 mitochondrial protein-coding genes (PCGs), the full-length coding regions of the mitochondrial MutS gene (mtMutS) and the barcodes of partial mtMutS to elucidate the phylogenetic relationships among all the five genera (Anthomastus, Bathyalcyon, Heteropolypus, Pseudoanthomastus, and Neoanthomastus gen. nov.) and available species of Anthomastinae. The phylogenetic trees constructed from the three types of sequences suggest a hierarchical relationship where Neoanthomastus gen. nov. and Pseudoanthomastus form a clade that clusters with Bathyalcyon, which in turn with Heteropolypus, and finally with Anthomastus, all with high nodal supports. We also identify a second species in octocorals that lack the unique mtMutS. The study reveals a high diversity of mushroom soft corals and underscores the need for further systematic and zoogeographic research.

花珊瑚亚科的蘑菇软珊瑚是在深海中发现的最引人注目的八爪珊瑚之一,其特点是头状或蘑菇形的红色菌落和大型自栖体。迄今为止,由于研究有限,它们的物种多样性在很大程度上仍然未知,它们的系统发育关系尚未探索。根据西北太平洋热带地区四个海山的样本,我们在花马属中建立了一个新属和六个新种:我们将4种具有管状体延伸到茎部的花马属(neoanthomasus stellatus)转移到新花马属(neoanthomasus),另外4种花马属(pseudoanthomasus)转移到伪花马属(pseudoanthomasus)。提供了花马属所有5个已知属和43个种的二分键。同时,我们利用13个线粒体蛋白编码基因(PCGs)的串联核苷酸、线粒体MutS基因(mtMutS)的全长编码区和部分mtMutS的条形码来阐明花马属(Anthomastus)、Bathyalcyon、Heteropolypus、Pseudoanthomastus和Neoanthomastus gen11 .) 5个属和现有种之间的系统发育关系。由3种类型序列构建的系统发育树表明,Neoanthomastus gen. 11 .和Pseudoanthomastus与Bathyalcyon、Heteropolypus和Anthomastus形成了一个层次关系,它们都具有高节点支持。我们还在八珊瑚中发现了第二种缺乏独特mtMutS的物种。这项研究揭示了蘑菇软珊瑚的高度多样性,并强调了进一步系统和动物地理研究的必要性。

Structure and Evolution of the uqcrfs1 Gene in Western Palearctic Water Frogs (Genus Pelophylax) and Implications for Systematics of Eastern Mediterranean Species 古北西部水蛙属uqcrfs1基因的结构与进化及其对东地中海物种分类学的启示

The Rieske protein, encoded by the nuclear uqcrfs1 gene, is an essential subunit of the cytochrome bc1 complex involved in electron transfer. Despite its vital function, studies on the structure and evolution of the uqcrfs1 gene are limited. In particular, data on the fine-scale evolution of the uqcrfs1 in the context of speciation and adaptation are lacking. Eastern Mediterranean water frogs (genus Pelophylax) are an ideal model for studying such evolutionary processes at the molecular level, as they comprise several closely related lineages with different degrees of genetic and organismal divergence. Based on comprehensive sequence data of 137 frogs from 106 populations, including Mediterranean frogs as well as frogs from Europe and Central Asia, the spatial distribution of uqcrfs1 alleles was mapped and their genealogical relationships analyzed. In addition, the structure of the gene was investigated using genomic and transcriptomic data from Pelophylax lessonae. The uqcrfs1 gene consists of two exons. The length of coding sequence and its corresponding protein sequence is 807 nucleotides and 268 amino acids, respectively. The GC content and the G/C-ending codons of the gene are about 59.9% and 75.37%. The uqcrfs1 gene has a core promoter type similar to that of widely expressed housekeeping genes, with GC-rich blocks in the regulatory 5’ region, and contains many dispersed conserved motifs for transcription initiation. Genealogical analysis of the uqcrfs1 sequences revealed 10 allelic groups in the Eastern Mediterranean region. While the position of some allelic groups and the number of subgroups in the uqcrfs1 gene tree are somewhat different, they largely support the results of previous nuclear and mitochondrial genealogical studies. This gene is therefore an effective marker for determining the origin of different water frog species and lineages, including hybrids.

由核 uqcrfs1 基因编码的 Rieske 蛋白是细胞色素 bc1 复合物的一个重要亚基,参与电子传递。尽管uqcrfs1基因具有重要功能,但对其结构和进化的研究却十分有限。尤其是缺乏有关uqcrfs1在物种演化和适应过程中的精细演化的数据。东地中海水蛙(Pelophylax 属)是在分子水平上研究此类进化过程的理想模型,因为它们由几个具有不同遗传和生物分化程度的密切相关品系组成。基于来自 106 个种群(包括地中海蛙类以及欧洲和中亚蛙类)的 137 种蛙类的综合序列数据,绘制了 uqcrfs1 等位基因的空间分布图,并分析了它们的系谱关系。此外,还利用 Pelophylax lessonae 的基因组和转录组数据研究了该基因的结构。uqcrfs1基因由两个外显子组成。编码序列及其相应的蛋白质序列长度分别为 807 个核苷酸和 268 个氨基酸。该基因的 GC 含量和 G/C 末端密码子含量分别约为 59.9% 和 75.37%。uqcrfs1基因的核心启动子类型与广泛表达的看家基因相似,在调控5'区有富含GC的区块,并含有许多分散的保守转录启动基序。对 uqcrfs1 序列的系谱分析显示,东地中海地区有 10 个等位基因群。虽然uqcrfs1基因树中一些等位基因群的位置和亚群的数量有些不同,但它们在很大程度上支持了之前核和线粒体系谱研究的结果。因此,该基因是确定不同水蛙物种和品系(包括杂交种)起源的有效标记。

While the position of some allelic groups and the number of subgroups in the <i>uqcrfs1</i> gene tree are somewhat different, they largely support the results of previous nuclear and mitochondrial genealogical studies. This gene is therefore an effective marker for determining the origin of different water frog species and lineages, including hybrids.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":54751,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research","volume":"2025 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/jzs/7457173","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143707503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ourapteryx is widely distributed in the Palearctic and Oriental regions, with the highest species diversity found in China. As of 2024, 95 described species have been recorded globally; however, no comprehensive revision of this genus has been published. Identifying Ourapteryx species based solely on wing patterns is challenging due to their extreme similarity, often leading to frequent misidentifications and the oversight of cryptic species. In this study, we utilized 68 morphological species, along with 1050 COI sequences, to develop an integrative taxonomy for Ourapteryx. This taxonomy integrates morphological, molecular, distributional, and ecological evidences. Our findings identified nine candidate species (labeled as sp1–sp7, O. horishana and O. brachycerca), increasing the total number of recognized species from 68 to 77. Using this updated checklist, we compared four molecular delimitation methods against the outcomes of morphological taxonomy. The analysis indicated that a 2% threshold produced the highest efficiency. Additionally, we explored the reasons behind morpho-molecular discordance and the presence of hidden species. Our study underscores the importance and reliability of integrative taxonomy, which relies on multiple lines of evidence for accurate species identification and classification.

Molecular data from 35 of the 50 Acrossocheilinae species suggest that the species-level diversity in the subfamily has been overestimated, likely due to inadequate taxon and geographic sampling and reliance on morphological characters that vary intraspecifically. Three new genera, one resurrected genus, two resurrected species, and one new species are diagnosed and described herein. Nine synonyms of three valid species of Acrossocheilinae are recognized from the Yangtze, Xijiang, Song Hong, Annamite, and Mekong ecoregions in East and Southeast Asia. Thirty-two valid and six putative new species are indicated by molecular data and a key to the genera is provided. As more molecular and morphological data become available, additional taxonomic changes in this widespread and generally poorly known subfamily are likely.

Understanding the genetic structure and phylogeographic patterns of Scarturus species is crucial for accurately delineating their taxonomic status and informing conservation strategies. This study explores the genetic differentiation of Scarturus williamsi, S. aulacotis, and S. elater species complex across Turkish populations by analyzing mitochondrial (Cytb, 12S rRNA, and 16S rRNA) and nuclear (IRBP) gene sequences. Our phylogenetic analyses have firmly established the monophyly and distinct species status of S. williamsi and S. aulacotis (formerly known as S. euphraticus), challenging previous subspecies classifications. Within S. williamsi, we identified five distinct lineages from Cytb sequences, illustrating a complex population structure shaped by geographical and ecological factors. Notably, the Niğde population emerged as a unique and ancient lineage, likely influenced by historical isolation. Our findings further indicate that S. aulacotis encompasses two divergent lineages, one spanning Syrian samples and the other Turkish and Iranian samples, both now classified under the revised taxonomy of S. aulacotis. Analysis of the S. elater species complex unveiled three distinct subclades, with the Turkish population aligning closely with Iranian and Armenian samples, identified as S. indicus aralychensis within the S. indicus superspecies.

了解赤足属植物的遗传结构和系统地理模式,对准确描述赤足属植物的分类地位和制定保护策略具有重要意义。本研究通过分析线粒体(Cytb、12S rRNA和16S rRNA)和核(IRBP)基因序列,探讨了土耳其种群中Scarturus williamsi、S. aulacotis和S. elater物种复合体的遗传分化。我们的系统发育分析已经确定了S. williamsi和S. aulacotis(以前称为S. euphraticus)的单系和独特的物种地位,挑战了以前的亚种分类。在S. williamsi中,我们从Cytb序列中鉴定出5个不同的谱系,说明了地理和生态因素塑造的复杂种群结构。值得注意的是,Niğde人口作为一个独特而古老的血统出现,可能受到历史隔离的影响。我们的研究结果进一步表明,S. aulacotis包含两个不同的谱系,一个跨越叙利亚样本,另一个跨越土耳其和伊朗样本,两者现在都归在S. aulacotis的修订分类法下。对S. elater物种复合物的分析揭示了三个不同的亚分支,土耳其种群与伊朗和亚美尼亚样本密切一致,被确定为S. indicus aralychensis,属于S. indicus超种。

Orthops is a widely distributed plant bug genus comprising 35 species. Its nominotypical subgenus includes seven species mostly known from the Palearctic, and four of them are widely distributed. Most of them live in sympatry having only little morphological differences. The species limits have never been tested using the molecular data. The aim of this work is to test whether currently defined species represent monophyletic lineages and to find their interrelationships using an integrative approach. Morphological studies on external characters and male and female genitalia were performed. The molecular studies were based on the mitochondrial (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I [COI] and 12S ribosomal RNA [rRNA]) and nuclear (internal transcribed spacer I [ITS1] and calcium ATPase [Ca-ATPase]) markers and included comparison of the intra- and interspecific distances, species delimitation (ABGD, BPP, bGMYC, PTP, and bPTP), and phylogenetic analyses. All markers showed interspecific differences, and COI was the most variable. It was found that all species differed from each other morphologically, and the most reliable character complexes were parameres and female genitalia. In most analyses, Orthops kalmii and O. campestris were monophyletic. Orthops basalis formed a clade in most phylogenetic trees. Most of the species delimitation analyses confirmed the status of those three species. Orthops scutellatus was split into two clades, Palearctic and North American, which was also confirmed by the species delimitation analyses. Those two groups differed in parameres. Orthops campestris and O. scutellatus form a clade in all analyses, and O. basalis forms a clade with O. kalmii in most analyses.

直足虫是一个分布广泛的植物昆虫属,共有35种。其命名典型亚属包括7种,大多来自古北,其中4种分布广泛。它们大多数生活在共栖中,只有很小的形态差异。物种限制从未使用分子数据进行测试。这项工作的目的是测试当前定义的物种是否代表单系谱系,并使用综合方法找到它们的相互关系。对其外形性状和雌雄生殖器进行了形态学研究。分子研究基于线粒体(细胞色素c氧化酶亚基I [COI]和12S核糖体RNA [rRNA])和核(内转录间隔物I [ITS1]和钙atp酶[ca - atp酶])标记,包括种内和种间距离的比较,物种划分(ABGD, BPP, bGMYC, PTP和bPTP),以及系统发育分析。所有标记物均表现出种间差异,其中COI变化最大。研究发现,所有物种在形态上都存在差异,最可靠的特征复合体是参数和雌性生殖器。在大多数分析中,kalmii和O. campestris是单系的。在大多数系统发育树中,基底直男是一个分支。多数种界分析证实了这三个种的地位。直立猿人被划分为古北支和北美支两个分支,这一点也得到了种界分析的证实。这两组在参数上有所不同。在所有的分析中,直立猿人与scutellatus形成一个分支,而在大多数分析中,基底猿人与kalmii形成一个分支。

Morphology, Phylogeny, and Evolution of the Rarely Known Genus Admetella McIntosh, 1885 (Annelida, Polynoidae) with Recognition of Four New Species from Western Pacific Seamounts 鲜为人知的 Admetella McIntosh, 1885 属(无脊椎动物,多形目)的形态学、系统发育和进化,以及来自西太平洋海山的四个新物种的确认

The polynoid genus Admetella constitutes a deep-sea assemblage of polychaetes, notable for their large bodies adorned with antennal scales positioned dorsally to the bases of lateral antennae. Furthermore, the genus exhibits swimming proficiencies facilitated by elongated parapodia and flattened chaetae. Despite the frequent encounters with Admetella members during various deep-sea explorations, a substantial gap in our comprehension of their diversity, phylogeny, and evolutionary trajectories still exists. Our thorough morphological and phylogenetic investigations of specimens obtained from three seamounts located in the tropical western Pacific have unveiled six species belonging to the genus Admetella, four of these being newly identified as Admetella multiseta sp. nov., A. levensteini sp. nov., A. nanhaiensis sp. nov., and A. undulata sp. nov. The other two species of Admetella remain unidentifiable at the species level due to the loss of crucial details. Our phylogenetic analysis, grounded on 13 mitochondrial protein-coding genes and the inclusion of 12S, 16S, 18S, 28S rRNA, and ITS1–ITS2 genes, substantiates the monophyly of Admetella. Admetella is positioned at an intermediate node within the phylogenetic tree, situated between representative shallow-water and deep-sea subfamilies. The independent evolution of antennal scales within Admetella among polynoids constitutes a synapomorphy for this genus. Ancestral state reconstruction (ASR) analyses suggest that deep-sea polynoids evolved from shallow-water ancestors that possessed lateral antennae, which were subsequently lost in members inhabiting extreme marine environments, such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents and anchialine caves. The analysis further implicates that swimming ability independently evolved at least four times within the Polynoidae family.

Admetella 属多毛目多毛类是一个深海多毛类集合体,其显著特点是体型庞大,背侧至侧触角基部装饰有触角鳞片。此外,该属凭借拉长的副鳃和扁平的链节表现出游泳能力。尽管在各种深海探索中经常遇到 Admetella 成员,但我们对其多样性、系统发育和进化轨迹的了解仍然存在很大差距。我们对从位于热带西太平洋的三座海山获得的标本进行了深入的形态学和系统发生学研究,发现了属于 Admetella 属的六个物种,其中四个物种被新鉴定为 Admetella multiseta sp.由于关键细节的缺失,Admetella 的另外两个种在物种水平上仍无法识别。我们的系统发育分析基于 13 个线粒体蛋白编码基因,包括 12S、16S、18S、28S rRNA 和 ITS1-ITS2 基因,证实了 Admetella 的单系性。Admetella 位于系统发生树的中间节点,介于具有代表性的浅水亚科和深海亚科之间。Admetella 的触角鳞片在多刺类中的独立进化构成了该属的同系异形。祖先状态重建(ASR)分析表明,深海多孔动物是从拥有侧触角的浅水祖先进化而来的,而在深海热液喷口和锚系洞穴等极端海洋环境中栖息的成员随后失去了侧触角。该分析进一步表明,游泳能力在波罗的海科内至少独立进化了四次。
