Resumen:
Regeneration and agametic asexual reproduction by fission
has evolved multiple times among Lophotrochozoan lineages. In this talk, I
present case studies among freshwater naid worms (Annelida: Clitellata) and
marine lineid ribbon worms (Nemertea: Pilidiophora) showing how regeneration
ability can be both lost and gained throughout linege evolution, how morphology
and development changes to accommodate novel developmental trajectories, and
what is the evolutionary and developmental relationship between regeneration
and asexual reproduction by fission.
