An acorn worm leaves behind a mound of expelled sand that it has ingested while looking for organic matter. Besides, acorn worms aren’t exactly cute and cuddly. Each of the 70 or so species in the ...
Scripps Oceanography scientists officially described the deep-sea worm in 2022; now it’s among the top 10 new species acknowledged by the World Register of Marine Species The list acknowledges ...
People have more in common with deep-sea worms than one might suspect. Over 500 million years ago, humans and certain worms shared a common ancestor, and people still share thousands of genes with the ...
The question of the origin of the vertebrates (including humans) from invertebrates is the most celebrated paternity suit in biology. Since they were first accused over a century ago, acorn worms ...
This week a report has shown that our "closest wormy cousins" live under the sea. Researchers from Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) and its collaborators have ...
One of the defining characteristics of chordates and other deuterostomes is the presence of gill slits, which first appeared in the acorn worm and persist vestigially in the human embryo. An ...
In 1873, an unknown species of deep-sea worm was dredged up from the bottom of the ocean. Further analysis showed that the animal, collected from almost 3.5 miles (5.5 kilometers) beneath the surface, ...

Scientists have analyzed the genomes of two acorn worm species and found that approximately two-thirds of human genes have counterparts in the ancestors of these marine animals. These ancient genes, ...

The newly sequenced genomes of two marine worms are shedding light on the 570 million-year evolution of gills into the pharynx that today gives humans the ability to bite, chew, swallow and speak. The ...
