淡水扁虫Dugesia tigrina、海洋Stylochus zebra和Bdelloura candida等3种扁虫，淡水水螅Hydra littoralis和H.在一些情况下，这些水手的最近的亲属是以前从昆虫基因组中已知的，支持该家族的转座子能够跨门水平转移的观点，因此必须能够在如此多样的宿主环境中发挥作用。其他20种代表主要门的无脊椎动物的基因组中似乎没有这些种类的水手。
Three flatworm species, the freshwater Dugesia tigrina and the marine Stylochus zebra and Bdelloura candida, and two freshwater hydra species, Hydra littoralis and H. vulgaris, were found to have many distinct representatives of the mariner family of transposable elements in their genomes, In several cases the closest relatives of these mariners are ones known previously from insect genomes, supporting the view that transposons of this family are capable of horizontal transfer across phyla, and hence must be capable of functioning in such diverse host environments. Twenty other invertebrates representing the major phyla did not appear to have mariners of these kinds in their genomes.
