神秘的动物门扁动物门在后生动物生命之树中占有重要地位。一个简单的鲍普兰使它看起来是已知的最基础的后生动物,遗传证据也表明它的位置接近最后一个共同的后生动物祖先。 Trichoplax adhaerens 是迄今为止该门中唯一被正式描述的物种,使得扁动物门成为动物界中唯一的单型门。然而,最近的分子遗传学和形态学研究已经确定了该门内的高水平多样性,因此潜在的高水平分类多样性。不同的分类群,可能处于不同的分类水平,正在等待描述。在这篇综述中,我们首先总结了斑动物的形态、系统发育位置和生态学方面的知识。其次,我们概述了长生动物的形态和遗传多样性,最后提出了长生动物种群的最新分布。我们的结论是,建立新的分类单元并为这种白板分类建立牢固的系统具有巨大的潜力和必要性。
The enigmatic animal phylum Placozoa holds a key position in the metazoan Tree of Life. A simple bauplan makes it appear to be the most basal metazoan known and genetic evidence also points to a position close to the last common metazoan ancestor. Trichoplax adhaerens is the only formally described species in the phylum to date, making the Placozoa the only monotypic phylum in the animal kingdom. However, recent molecular genetic as well as morphological studies have identified a high level of diversity, and hence a potential high level of taxonomic diversity, within this phylum. Different taxa, possibly at different taxonomic levels, are awaiting description. In this review we firstly summarize knowledge on the morphology, phylogenetic position and ecology of the Placozoa. Secondly, we give an overview of placozoan morphological and genetic diversity and finally present an updated distribution of placozoan populations. We conclude that there is great potential and need to erect new taxa and to establish a firm system for this taxonomic tabula rasa.
